Maricopa County is being held accountable for at least one thing it did wrong during the 2022 election cycle.

On Wednesday, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted to settle a lawsuit brought by Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson and TGP Communications, the Pundit's parent company, for $175,000.

The move came after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided in December with Conradson in a preliminary ruling after Maricopa County officials had denied him a press pass during the 2022 midterm election.

The judges determined the reason Conradson was denied the pass when he applied in September is that officials did not like his conservative viewpoint and reporting that was critical of the county.
