re: They keep mysteriously finding ballots in Maricopa County

Who the frick drops ballots the day of? The purpose of early voting is to do it before the election, like you’re out of town or you don’t want to stand in line. This shite has to stop!

That's just how counting works.

how about a cash register

Really? When I did cashier type work mine came out right.

Because I can count.

They never overestimate and aren't counting shite.

But is it unbelievable that the estimate was off by 5%?

Yes. It is. Most places already have their votes counted already. Maricopa Co. can't even figure out how many votes they have in hand, two plus days after they were dropped off.

A lot of people do this, they are mostly Republicans by th=e way.

I understand the reasoning that Rep voters held their early ballots until Election Day, which is a stupid rule that allows these “late earlies” in the first place but that’s what AZ’s rule is.

What I don’t understand is how the actual number of total ballots, not who they voted for but the *number* of ballots, still keeps changing more than 48 hours after the voting ended. There has to be a rule put in place to lock in the count of Election Day ballots by some predetermined time and additional ballots cannot be added after that time. The number could go down as the ballots are processed and tallied, as some may get disqualified, but it couldn’t go up because someone “found” more ballots. So if a precinct verifies their count at 20,000 ballots within 24 hours of the polls closing, they may end up with 19,537 tallied votes and 463 disqualified ballots, but they don’t get to report 24,102 votes 5 days later.

Same could be done with mail in votes if they moved up the postmark deadline. If they are determined to allow mail in voting, make it for early voting only and set the postmark deadline a week prior to Election Day. Precincts have to verify their mail ballot count AND their Election Day ballot count within 24 hours of polls closing. They can process, tally and cure the ballots with bipartisan poll watchers observing after that, but the counts are locked in.

Yet, the person in charge of elections there is on her way to being governor.

The fox is in… again. Right in front of our eyes and the media doesn’t care.

No one has been able to answer one simple question about mail in votes since all this started a couple of years ago. If someone inserts 20k ballots into the pile, how can you tell that after the fact?

They'renot magical and did not suddenly appear. They were in a group that was brought in the day of the election and estimated to be 275 but turned out to be about 5% more. Plus, posters are saying this was a tactic supported by Lake, hence the belief that it will benefit her.
