I just received the following email from my Sister, who is out of state:
When Marty and I knew we were not going to be in Arizona for the 2016 election, we contact our county election rice and they sent two absentee ballot forms. We filled them out and sent them in. I called to verify that they had received our absentee ballot forms and they confirmed that they had.
When we did not get our primary ballots, I called. They looked us up and said that our absentee ballots had been received, but we were not put on the absentee ballot mailing list. She apologized, put us on the mailing list.
We again did NOT receive our ballots and I called again. Again, we were not on the mailing list and she promised that our ballots would be mailed out that day. I asked if she could confirm that we would receive the November ballots and she said that were were confirmed to receive the November ballots.
When we did not receive our November ballot forms I again called. The answer was that we were again removed from the mailing list and they could not understand how that could have happened and that they were sorry. We have been promised that our ballots have now been mailed out........we will see.
If it had only been me, or if it had only been Marty it might have been considered this to be an anomaly. I believe that the dems have very ingeniously deleted Republican absentee ballots from the Arizona computer. Arizona is a toss-up state and what better way to suppress the Republican vote than to bring up the fields "Republican" and "absentee ballot" and press "delete". Something very devious and dark is going on here.
I emailed John McCain and have not gotten a response. I called the Secretary of State and got a gal named Stephanie who said that our mistake was not filling out a "permanent absentee ballot form". What nonsense is that?!!
Marty and I did everything that was required but we would have been denied the vote unless I had made numerous telephone calls. Thousands of similar circumstances are out there.....people who will be denied the vote and will not realize it until it is too late.
I firmly believe that we are living in a democrat controlled, rigged system. The end justifies the means and they will do anything to give us the most dishonest, lying, secretive and oppressive president that this nation has ever known.
God help us!
Also, the moral of the story is that if you need an absentee ballot, follow up if it hasn’t arrived in the expected time period.
“I called the Secretary of State and got a gal named Stephanie who said that our mistake was not filling out a “permanent absentee ballot form”. What nonsense is that?!!”
That nonsense is what tells you she is in on it. Remember Soros has been hard at work installing Political hacks as secretary’s of states. That is a fact you can look up. Report this to the Trump campaign. I don’t think you would get anywhere with the GOP because they don’t want Trump to win.
If there is any election disputes these SOS’s have been put in place to make sure that they are settled DNC and Soros style. The SOS has more power than the governor in the case of voting disputes.
“our mistake was not filling out a “permanent absentee ballot form”. What nonsense is that?!!
Marty and I did everything that was required”
I lived in AZ for many years it has been in place you fill out a simple form that they mail you in advance of ALL elections that if you want to permanently receive early ballots you just fill out the form and you receive them all. It worked fine for me while I lived there, This woman is a fool to not simply follow proper protocol of receiving early ballot. calling and telling them you want early ballot is not the same as them having your signed form.
I STILL live in AZ and my wife and I did this years ago - never had an issue getting any of the ballots sent to us.
Plus, my wife died earlier this year, and I got my ballot last week - they didn’t send her one. So at least they got that straight as well.
Honestly. Early voting should be made illegal in the entire US. Absentee ballots should only be allowed when it can be proved that no other option is available, and then they should be analyzed for legitimacy in every way. You do that and millions of illegitimate and illegal votes go away.
We have massive vote fraud because because the system has been intentionally redesigned for it.

I’m in AZ and I have never had a problem getting ballots for any election either. However, my wife also died earlier this year but they still mailed her a ballot last week.
First, YOU are the fool for calling out my sister!
Second, YOU don’t understand her circumstances, so calling someone a fool while not having all the facts makes YOU the fool.
Third, she sometimes is in state and sometimes out of state during elections. So filing a “permanent” absentee ballot request would not seem to be the best approach. But I guess in your omniscience, you must have already assessed that situation.
Standing in line for a few minutes to prevent voter fraud is the duty of the individual to assure corruption free voting.
I agree with everything you have said here. However, having part-time residences in two states where you toggle between the two should not force you to be disenfranchised. Thus, I think she and her husband fall into the necessary category.
If she’s sometimes in and sometimes out she should definitely go for the permanent form, takes out all the guess work, the ballot will always be mailed to her and she can fill it out and mail it whether she’ll be here on election day or not. And really filling out the one shot form and expecting it to carry over is kind of silly, it’s the one shot form. And we also have early voting polling places, if she doesn’t want to do the mail and will be around near election time. There are many options, pick one and stop complaining about the results being exactly what the form said they’d be.
. . . and which address should she use on that permanent form?!
If I were Secretary of State, I believe that I would consider marking all out-going ballots as "do not forward", since forwarding could lead to other forms of fraud. I don't know how they are mailed in Arizona, but do you?
Does she have somebody picking up her mail in the AZ address when she’s not there? Forwarding is no more likely to lead to fraud than anything else.
And people are upset that Trump hedged on accepting the election results.
BTW, does anybody know if military votes will be mailed out, received and counted? Every Presidential election in my memory, there has been a persistent problem with our military getting to vote.
It is NOT necessary to fill out a PERMANENT ABSENTEE BALLOT FORM...at least in Florida because I am often out out of the state for the Primaries but home for the election as is the case this year. I voted in the August election by Absentee ballot and will vote in person at my precinct in November. I designate the election I wish to vote absentee.
NOTE she did fill out the “required forms.” She did not fill out a permanent absentee ballot form. IOW she did as I do and demanded ONLY the absentee ballot necessary for a specific election.
And just exactly WHAT does a person do when that person is OUT OF THE COUNTRY? Rather difficult to stand in line from thousands of miles away.
I totally disagree with you.
I said people legitimately out of the country should get absentee ballots in my response. Did you read it before yours?
