Arizona’s drawn-out Senate election has attracted a lawsuit from Republicans in the state, challenging the procedure for how mail-in ballots are counted.
Republican Martha McSally and Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, both U.S. representatives, are in a heated battle to become Arizona’s next senator. As of Thursday afternoon, McSally had 856,848 votes to Sinema’s 839,775, giving the Republican lawmaker a one-point edge with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
Despite the lead, election forecasters are not ready to declare McSally a winner because of the inordinate amount of mail-in ballots still not counted. About 75 percent of Arizona voters cast their ballots by mail, and county recorders are only beginning to wade through the 600,000-plus outstanding votes — a process that is expected to take days.

While Arizona allows for an unusually high number of mail-in ballots, the confirmation for such votes is arduous. Votes by mail can be opened and counted only after a signature confirmation process is completed. A county is allowed to verify a voter’s identity if there is any issue with their mail-in ballot.

Good.
Darth Trump has had enough of this crap and is sending his stormtroopers in.
As of 5 minutes ago, the NYT has Sinema up by 9,600 votes. So who knows what the true story is.
Lawsuits? There should be arrests.
About frigging time.
I was about to do the same myself.
We are not Florida.
Sinema is a communist pos and I will not have her as my Senator.
John McCain, burn in hell.
Wow, a “Lawsuit”. that should scare them as Subpoenas do....
“As of 5 minutes ago, the NYT has Sinema up by 9,600 votes. So who knows what the true story is.”
Fox News’s website is reporting the same.
“About 75 percent of Arizona voters cast their ballots by mail, and county recorders are only beginning to wade through the 600,000-plus outstanding votes — a process that is expected to take days.”
Funny in 2016 when McCain was re elected it did not take days for his numbers to be posted along with the little check mark next to his name indicating he won.
For our voting system to restore its integrity there must be NO ability to ascertain trends in ballot returns before Election Day, as occurs with early voting, and there must be far greater transparency and accountability for the post-election tabulation process.
The article was written about the time the numbers changed Thursday evening.
I heard a reporter ask Fontes about lawsuits and his response was, “bring it.”
This mail in voting has to end!
Yes, one of her counties was counted so she jumped ahead.
This mail in voting has to end!

As predicted it has caused nothing but issues and fraud.
POTUS doesn’t back down and if he sends in back up for the AZ republicans these corrupt weasel dems at the local level better pray. POTUS is not a man to be messed with he fights back, and fights back HARD!
And change the voting day to Saturday.
You think it’s bad now, just wait ‘till smartphone voting is shoved down our throats.

Amen.
