Most Election Day snafus could be avoided if republicans were advised to vote early.  I hope this is the last election cycle the GOP exposes themselves to this scenario.

How the hell is it legal for Katie Hobbs to count the votes in the election for which she is on the top of the ballot?

Most Republicans don't vote early because they don't want to signal to the Dems how many fake ballots they will need.

Good point.  From now on, I think I will vote early.

Arizona voters! If you are approaching a polling place and there is a long line, or you are told the tabulation machines are not working there (about 20-25% of the polling places in Maricopa) find a better place to vote at this link!

Judge blocks Arizona county from hand-counting ballots

Madeleine Hubbard  |  Updated: November 8, 2022 - 11:26am


An Arizona judge has stopped a rural country's plan to hand-counting midterm ballots, following a request from Republicans for the process over concerns about the trustworthiness of the voting machines.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Casey McGinley's ruled Monday the county board of supervisors went beyond its authority by directing the county recorder to count all ballots cast instead of a small sample as required by state law, the Associated Press reports.

The judge in a case, brought by the progressive group Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans, which sued to stop the proposed count, said the law allows for only for a small hand-count of early ballots to ensure voting machine accuracy. The group also said the change could create chaos and possibly delay election results.

The ruling is unlikely to be appealed because Election Day is Tuesday.

While the case challenged only about 30,000 early ballots, the judge went further and blocked hand counts of both early and Election Day votes.

Why is it that Democrats can always find a judge who gives them even more than they ask for, while Republicans can't even find a court room.

Over 23,000 people have already checked in in person and successfully voted.

We have tabulator issues at a few locations, but the backup plan allows those votes to still be tabulated.

Some fraction of voters will not turn out if there is only one date.  Technology issues like today, health problems, car problems, scheduling conflicts, long lines, simply forgetting the date, etc.  The GOP has to quit hobbling itself.

Do you know Mark Finchum?  Would he be the type to catch these Dems in the act?

Pretty sure election machines are tested tried and tested again over and over. Day after day. So what are the odds that machines would malfunction right on the day we call Election Day? What are the odds it would be in maricopa county of all places? In Arizona? Nothing to see.

In computer science, this is known as a 'resident virus'.  It lays dormant until it is triggered by a certain clock date.

What are the odds that they would malfunction without external interference?  Very, very small.  Substantial circumstantial evidence that the dems/libs/progs have spiked the machines.

There is now a 2 hour wait minimum at most polling places in Maricopa. Stay in line and vote at all costs!

This is so frustrating.  If you're a parent whose childcare facility closes at 6pm (like ours did), you don't have the option to stay in line at all costs.
