Author Nancy Hicks Marshall announced the release of her new book 'Six Who Stopped The Steal,' which documents the actions of six Maricopa County officials who certified Arizona's 2020 presidential election results. The book launch coincides with a press conference scheduled for January 6, 2026, outside the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Auditorium in Phoenix, Arizona.
The importance of this story lies in its documentation of election integrity during one of the most scrutinized elections in U.S. history. On November 3, 2020, Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald J. Trump in what independent audits verified as valid results. Despite claims to the contrary from Trump and his allies, five men certified these results on November 20, 2020, with others in the Arizona legislature preventing what Marshall describes as an illegal reversal.
Maricopa County represents the fifth largest county in the United States and serves as a critical swing state, making the actions of these officials particularly significant. The six men faced multiple threats to their lives while upholding what Marshall characterizes as constitutional and legal obligations. Their stories reveal how personal experiences shaped their commitment to integrity as public servants.
The 2020 election occurred during a period of national turmoil that included the COVID-19 pandemic's arrival in January 2020 and the aftermath of George Floyd's death in May 2020. Marshall's book explores how these events created an environment where some rejected evidence she describes as undeniably true. The author provides what readers call a clear explanation of the election process at https://NuggetPress.com, showcasing what she identifies as elaborate steps that prevent fraud.
Marshall brings unique qualifications to this subject, having previously defended activists arrested in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors auditorium in 2009. Her successful defense led to her novel 'A Dry Hate,' which won first prize for fiction at state and national levels. Shocked by the treatment of the six officials in 2021, Marshall researched what she discovered was both a story of courageous public servants and the complicated events surrounding the 2020 election.
The ebook version will be available for $.99 through January 6, 2026, on Amazon.com. Early endorsements describe the book as a testament to honesty and a fascinating portrayal of courageous men, with comments praising Marshall's extensive research. Readers have called the work a valuable resource for students, historians, and psychologists that will remain relevant for years to come.
Marshall cites several books for understanding the period better, including 'The God of Monkey Science' about science denial among persons of faith, 'The Big Truth' covering similar events from an academic perspective, and Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Emperor's New Clothes' as a reminder that children often see truth more clearly than adults. The author has written multiple award-winning books including 'The Rattler's Tale' for elementary students and 'Finding Zachariah in a Community Garden,' with hundreds of copies of the latter purchased by the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden for distribution.
This story matters because it documents how election systems functioned under unprecedented pressure and how individuals maintained constitutional principles. The implications extend to public trust in democratic institutions and understanding how personal integrity intersects with public service during national crises. Marshall's work provides historical documentation of election verification processes that could influence future discussions about election administration and political accountability.
