Author Nancy Hicks Marshall announced the release of her new book 'Six Who Stopped The Steal,' which documents the experiences of six Maricopa County, Arizona officials who certified the valid 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, described as both a book introduction and a call to restore respect for elected officials who follow their conscience and the law.
The work focuses on what Marshall calls "the extraordinary true account" of six men in Maricopa County—the fifth largest county in the United States and a critical swing state—who stood up for the Constitution, the law, and their integrity during the 2020 election aftermath. The book explains how these officials prevented what the author describes as "an illegal reversal of the results and an immoral abuse of power" after the November 2020 election, which independent audits verified as valid despite claims to the contrary from then-President Donald Trump and his allies.
Marshall's research reveals that each of the six men faced multiple threats to their lives for their actions. The author, who previously defended activists arrested in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors auditorium in 2009, began investigating the officials' stories in 2021 after being shocked by their treatment from fellow Republicans. Her findings present both the personal stories of these public servants and the broader context of major events surrounding the 2020 presidential election and its aftermath.
The narrative structure begins with each man describing in his own words what events in their youth led them to seek integrity as adults and public servants. Marshall then examines what she calls "monsters" that cause people to reject undeniable evidence—a phenomenon she suggests was widespread in 2020. The author also provides what early endorsements describe as a clear, understandable description of the sophisticated election process, with one reviewer noting she manages to "showcase the elaborate steps of our election process that prevent fraud."
Early reader feedback collected by the author includes descriptions of the subjects as "six Arizona leaders who stood their ground," "a testament to honesty," and "true patriots." Marshall's work has been characterized as "a riveting book based extensive research" that will serve as "a valuable resource to students, historians, and psychologists for years to come." The ebook version will be available for $.99 through January 6, 2026, on Amazon.com.
Marshall cites several complementary readings for understanding the period, including 'The God of Monkey Science' about science denial among people 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 book's release comes during ongoing national discussions about election integrity and the functioning of democratic institutions. By documenting the experiences of officials who upheld verified election results despite significant pressure, Marshall's work contributes to historical understanding of a pivotal moment in American democracy while examining broader questions about integrity in public service and public trust in electoral systems.
