You should listen to Victor Davis Hanson’s podcast from yesterday, Hurdles republicans Need to Jump to Win Races. It’s extremely insightful.

OK, finally an answer ... sort of.

You want a court, with absolutely no legal authority, to discard an entire election because YOU think that the legislature used poor judgment in providing for the return of certain early ballots.

This is why they set up the election rules this way to start with. To make such a collosal clusterfrick out of everything that no court, no law, no elected official will or can ever do anything about it. They found the perfect loophole. As you said, there's no teeth in the state law and they can "January 6th" everything else.

I think you missed this;

I stated that from the beginning. You were just determined to get on a path of which vote to count. You don't. And that is the point.... because you can't.

They spoiled the whole election.

What makes you think they do not have the authority?

no. It just did not raise any point worthy of further discussion.

It's because you stated a court has no authority when in fact, you know they do.

For instance, if the rules require pickup by two persons of different political parties and return of the box to the registrar within 30 minutes of pickup, there would be a MAJOR problem if the box is retrieved by one person and not returned for three hours.


This is exactly what was happening.

Additionally, the number of ballots collected has to be recorded. In some cases, this wasn’t done.

You can’t say you have secure elections when you’re not following your own procedures.

It saddens me to say this will ultimately prove to be the most accurate comment from this entire thread.

If the "irregularities" are as substantive as this, I agree.

I have long said that unattended drop boxes are a vulnerability.

If a person who is returning early ballots were required to hand-carry them to the clerk, with the clerk confirming identity and relationship to the voters, the system would be far more secure ... though certainly not perfect.

No one that counts will look at the REAL evidence objectively. A lawyer told me "the video doesn't show evidence". The same thing Bill Barr said. I then asked the lawyer "if they have a video of me stabbing you to death, and have the knife, is that evidence?" He walked away.
People, even highly educated people, can really be closed minded and STUPID.

But was that person either a family member, a member of the household or a caregiver? If not, that person is committing a felony, and those ballots cannot legally be counted. (See Title 16 of the Arizona Revised Statutes).

MAYBE that guy is a worker at a nursing home, and MAYBE he is delivering all of the ballots for all of the residents. MAYBE he has a large family consisting entirely of people who are voting by mail.

They have his license plate. They can investigate these questions and potentially prosecute the "mule." But that does not resolve the problem of determining WHICH ballots from that box on that day are NOT to have been counted.

As I have said 1000 times, it is just not logistically possible for this sort of violation to be used to overturn a PAST election. This sort of data is useful ONLY in identifying structural vulnerabilities in the process ... and removing/resolving them.

Current legislation is prophylactic. It is intended to PREVENT people from acting as illegal "mules," by making their actions felonious. The problem is that there is little deterrent effect, if there is no enforcement.


Agree whole hesrtedly. My only hang up here is this video is simply the start to an investigation and doesn't prove anything. And like you said, how would we even know which ones needed removed from count?

Is ballot harvesting illegal in Arizona?

Yes and no.

What most think of as ballot harvesting is illegal in AZ. A partisan can't knock on doors and get ballots filled out that they then drop off at volume.

What's legal is for a family member or caregiver to mail/drop off a ballot.

That's the problem with the video - - - there is no way to know any of these people aren't dropping off ballots from their household or other immediate family members. If my family voted early, there'd be video of one of us dropping off 5 ballots. All legal.

Based on my understanding of how it works, we're too focused on how the ballots are submitted. There is no way to control that outside of banning early voting - which I'm okay with, but that'll never happen.

What we should be focusing on is how you get your hands on a ballot. Some states mail ballots to everyone, whether requested or not, whether correct address or not, and apparently it can also happen that a single voter has multiple ballots mailed out to multiple addresses.

The way it works in AZ, you have to call or submit online a request for a ballot to be mailed. To do so, you need to be able to provide your name, address on file, and either your SSN or DLN. I think that is fairly effective, however, the weakness in the system is you can make a standing request - every election a ballot is mailed to you automatically, so if you move (on average people move every, what, 4-5 years?) and don't update your address, your ballot is going to whoever resides at your old place. One of my son's friends received 7 ballots for last Tue (lives in an apartment).

There is a way to know. Find the person in the video and ask them for whom they were submitting ballots.

It would take 20 minutes to locate them and 20 minutes to question them. Neither will be done because the people in charge of safeguarding the system don’t care to safeguard the system.

They are taking pictures of it. That's how they get paid.

That means there is a trail.

It doesn't matter. All election/ voting fraud needs to be harshly dealt with, regardless of the beneficiary of the fraud.

That said, there is one side that openly brags about "fortifying" elections and has magically found enough ballots to win elections well before I started paying serious attention to election fraud in 2004.

Can't believe you actually posted something I agree with.

Then you fricked it all up with excuses why these aren't tainted ballots.. you're part of the problem Groomer

I didn’t see anyone dropping a hundred ballots or anything like that.

Two, two inch thick stacks of ballots from one of the car doesn't show you proof? Explain the ones shown taking pictures of the drop?
