Author Nancy Hicks Marshall has announced the release of her new book 'Six Who Stopped The Steal,' which chronicles the actions of six men in Maricopa County, Arizona, who certified the valid results of the 2020 presidential election. The book launch coincides with a press conference scheduled for January 6, 2026, outside the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Auditorium in Phoenix, described as a call to restore respect for elected officials who follow their conscience and the law.
The work focuses on the fifth largest county in the United States, a critical swing state, where on November 20, 2020, five men certified the election results for winner Joe Biden, with others in the Arizona House and Senate preventing what the source describes as an illegal reversal. Marshall's narrative presents this as an extraordinary true account of individuals who stood up for the Constitution and their integrity during a tumultuous period. The 2020 elections are characterized as an emotional flash point, set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic's arrival in early 2020 and the national disruption following the death of George Floyd in May 2020.
The book delves into the personal backgrounds of the six men, exploring moments in their youth that shaped them into what the author terms 'men of integrity.' It details the threats they faced and their roles in upholding the election results, which independent audits verified. Marshall, a multiple award-winning author, began her research in 2021, shocked by the treatment of these officials. Her prior experience includes defending an activist arrested in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors auditorium in 2009, which led to her novel 'A Dry Hate' winning first prize for fiction at state and national levels.
Beyond the personal stories, Marshall aims to clarify the complexity of the election process itself, providing what early endorsements call a clear, understandable description of a sophisticated system designed to prevent fraud. The narrative also covers the history of the election, the auditing and certification processes, and the fallout from what the source material describes as lies and personal attacks against the six men. Readers and endorsements praise the book as a testament to honesty, a fascinating portrayal of courage, and a valuable resource for students, historians, and psychologists. The ebook version will be available for a promotional price through January 6, 2026, on Amazon.com.
Marshall's approach avoids language and scenes deemed too private or violent, making the work accessible to young readers. She cites other works for context, including 'The God of Monkey Science' on science denial, 'The Big Truth' for an academic perspective on the era, and Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Emperor's New Clothes' as a parable about truth perception. More information about the author is available at her website, https://NuggetPress.com. The press conference will feature invited speakers including Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, former County Recorder Stephen Richer, and current Maricopa County Board of Supervisors member Steven Gallardo, identified as one of the six.
