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?

We might as well start calling ourselves THIRDWORLDERICA.

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.

I believe in this state. I believe that we will win, and that we will work towards a better Arizona — an Arizona where no one gets left behind or goes without a voice.

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.

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.

Maricopa County is run by Republicans.

Four of the five members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors are Republicans.

Remember this as Republicans make their baseless fraud claims.

Voter Suppression? Average Wait Time To Vote In Georgia Is Two Minutes

Georgia polls have an average wait time of two minutes per voter across the entire state according the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, WABE News reporter Rahul Bali reported Tuesday.

Bali reported that the polls had maintained a two-minute wait time, and pointed to results as early as 7 p.m. EST, despite claims that Georgia’s voter laws are “suppressive.” In past elections, Georgia voters have reported voter suppression after waiting in long lines, but early voting and an updated voter information page seem to have brought wait times down.

What a lie.  Imagine, if you will, that this was happening in Detroit, or some other black-majority district.  There would be screams and cries of systemic racism and voter disenfranchisement.

[Hoodat]

The waiting on election day really sucks.  For those who have the luxury of being able to drink, the best approach to election day is to be at the polls at 7am to cast your vote.  Then go back home and start drinking heavily.  Drink until passing out around noon.  Then have your alarm set for 8 pm and your coffee maker set to brew a pot at the same time.  Put on your bathrobe, pour yourself a bowl of corn flakes, then turn on the TV.

Maybe that's what @corbe did.

3 Tulsa poll workers could face charges after denying city council ballots to voters, sheriff says

Christina Maxouris  |  26 minutes ago

At least three poll workers in Tulsa County’s Precinct 77 were relieved of their duties Tuesday after authorities received reports that they were not handing out city council ballots to certain voters, Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado said in a news conference. 

The Oklahoma county sheriff said he received video with allegations that poll workers were not giving the city council ballot to Republican voters on Tuesday morning and that “they were only being given to Democrats, Independents and Libertarians.”

The Tulsa County Election Board received a report about the incident at roughly 7:45 a.m. local time, contacted poll workers to instruct them they were supposed to give city council ballots along with the state ballots to voters and “they began handing out the city council ballots ... at 8 a.m.,” said Gwen Freeman, the election board secretary. The poll workers were relieved of their duties and new poll workers were assigned, Freeman said. A total of about 30 to 40 people who voted in the morning were impacted, Freeman said.

Not so good news from Wisconsin:

Dane County runs out of ballots

HENRY REDMAN - 2:37 PM

In an early afternoon tweet, Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell said he already had to order more ballots in a sign that turnout was high in the largely Democratic county.

“Just had to reorder some ballots,” he wrote. “I ordered a lot of ballots.  So take that as some sort of tea leaf.”

In an email from the Dane County Clerk’s office, the county reported that 47,551 ballots had been counted as of 11 a.m., which is approximately 27% of registered voters.

The county is on track for about 85% turnout. In 2018, Gov. Tony Evers carried the county with more than 220,000 votes.
