re: Runbeck Whistleblower Reveals That Chain Of Custody For OVER 298,942 ballots doesn't exist

Runbeck, huh?

Sounds familiar....

1-in-5 centers with inexcusable electronic malfunctions IS NOT overhyped!

I'm not excusing the malfunctions or suggesting the Maricopa County elections organization is a well run outfit. I'm arguing that the suggestion that there were unreasonably long wait times across the valley and throughout the day, and this disenfranchised thousands upon thousands of voters is not reality.

Voting centers had multiple printers and tabulators. A malfunctioning printer/tabulator did not mean you couldn't cast a ballot. Thousands and thousands of voters didn't show up only to not be able to cast a vote, or be forced to wait for 2 hours to cast that vote.

Just consider the following and put a little picture in your mind together of what election day here looked like -

1. There were 223 voting centers. On average, they were less than 1.8 miles apart. Think about what that means relative to the suggestion that there were unreasonably long lines all over MC all day. If you were at a voting center with a greater than hour line, why wouldn't you just drive to the voting center next door and vote?


2. There were only about 250,000 votes cast on election day (not counting the early ballots that were dropped off at voting centers). Let me know if you need help with the math (I remember your post Saturday), but that's a little over a thousand votes per center. I'm not suggesting all voting was spread out evenly throughout the day or centers, so don't get there - but this should give you a sense for scale.

3. Anthem, which is remote to the city is the outlier, and it's the voting center you see most of the video about. They had over 2 hour long lines at the beginning and end of the day, and unlike everybody else did not have the option of jumping in their car for another voting center less than 10 mins away.

Given the above, is it hard to believe what the county has put out regarding wait times?

- More than half of voting centers had a PEAK wait time of 15 minutes or less

- At 207 of 223 voting centers, the PEAK wait time never exceeded an hour

- PEAK wait times exceeded an hour at 16 out of 223 voting centers, and only Anthem saw wait times that ever exceeded 2 hours.

So what is the explanation for local Phoenix-area news reports of huuuge Maricopa voting lines. Is it your belief they were trying to suppress GOP turnout?

It's my belief that they're the press.

These elections are impossible to unwind to a point where you can have any confidence in the reported results. There are failures of controls that exist. There are controls that don't exist that should.

States like AZ have had ample opportunTIES to put new laws on the books to protect the sanctity of elections.

What have they done? Zereaux.
