they want this because hypothetically they could have been cheated but have no evidence suggesting such basically.

You mean, besides the fact that Arizonans supposedly just elected a woman so insecure in her own capacity that she even refused to debate her opponent once? You mean besides the fact their were a litany of documented irregularities in Maricopa? You mean besides the fact it took more than a week, not to declare a winner, but to simply count votes?

A teacher is called out of a classroom during an exam by administration. In later grading the papers she finds 20 have identical answers. When she raises questions of cheating, and plans to ask classmates if they witnessed anything, school officials step in. They ask if she has proof aside from the coincidental similarity of the answers. She says that's why she wants to ask others who were present what they witnessed. School officials say, without more substantive proof, she is forbidden to pursue the issue further.

You DO NOT EVER instill confidence in a process by refusing to examine possible flaws or malfeasance. Not once EVER is confidence in an honest, fair result rendered that way. The judge is either corrupt, or a mental invalid.

Perfectly fine, because they have contingencies in place for this and those voters were offered a chance to have their votes counted regardless of the mechanical failure.

I can only imagine what you would be saying if half of heavily black dem precincts in Atlanta had this happen to them.

there were massive problems making voting very difficult at around half of the precincts

It doesn't help the argument when we keep making shite up or repeating shite others have made up.

It was not "very difficult" to vote at "around half" of the precincts. Tell me where I'm wrong here but based on what I've read, seen and heard -

-There were printer/tabulator issues at just under 70 voting centers ... that's out of 223 voting centers in the county.

-There were minimum 2 tabulators at each voting center, so if one machine was malfunctioning when you scanned your ballot, you could get in line for the other machine.

-Another option if your tabulator didn't accept your ballot was to drop it in a Box 3, which would be counted at election central.

-The only voting center that ever reported a wait of over 2 hours for a substantial period of time was Anthem. Otherwise, there were few voting centers that had more than a 30 minute wait and nearly half were zero to under 20 mins for most of the day.

You're right on the count. How many long lines and screwed up deep red precincts does it take to shave a percentage point?

There weren't long lines.

Name the deep red precincts, because Maricopa county is pretty much red outside of Phoenix. And to be clear, Phoenix accounts for about a third of Maricopa county.

So they were lying?

All that article says is that one polling place in Anthem had a long line with a 2 hour wait.


The same polling location the other poster already mentioned.

I mean…it’s freaking Anthem after all , it’s a shite show place to begin with
