When right-wing firebrand Kari Lake challenged her narrow November defeat in the Arizona governor’s race, her star witness was an obscure woman with the memorable name of Heather Honey, a murky backstory as a private investigator, and an equally unlikely hometown: Lebanon, Pa.
Honey’s courtroom testimony alleging voter fraud in heavily populated Maricopa County didn’t sway a judge who tossed out Lake’s challenge, but the certification of Lake’s 17,000-vote loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs didn’t stop Honey from gaining a new platform and fans. Last week, a video snippet of an exchange between her and Hobbs’ lawyer garnered hundreds of thousands of views.
After the Lake trial, Honey has continued the mission that has consumed her for more than two years: disputing the validity of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over Donald Trump in her home state.
Honey is the founder of Haystack Investigations, a Lebanon-based firm whose website says it belongs to the Pennsylvania Association of Licensed Investigators. However, federal records show Haystack LLC’s address belongs to a Lebanon UPS office.
The association’s website says that Honey is an investigator with over 30 years’ experience in private, corporate, and government investigations, and that she is an open source intelligence analyst and security consultant.
Honey is also the founder of Verity Vote, an organization that bills itself as an “election integrity research and investigations” group.
