I would say a large majority would get tossed since they were not registered to vote.
If they counted 10-20K worth of provisional ballots, first I would be surprised there would be that many and 2nd according to election laws in these states, that would be fraud.
Has Fontes replied to this? I can’t imagine that he’d have a coherent answer.
Or read the same email
The ‘rats are very connected and know what they are doing, none of this is a “mistake”
any counties that mixed their disputed ballots with their regular cast ballots, should all be throw out and not counted
Any one complains about their ballot going into the trash, they need to take it out on their local election officials who failed to follow the laws.
We need to get real strict about this, if we are going to have a country.
<><> the use of emergency voting centers, and,
<><> an “inconsistent method” for counting early ballots
Fontes was advised of a legal challenge and that state law required county recorders to set aside disputed ballots during the legal process. Instead, Fontes “directed his office to mix in disputed ballots with undisputed ballots — thereby ensuring that there could be no review of voting irregularities.” “Fontes’s decision was made deliberately, after receiving the Arizona Republican Party's letter and being informed of his legal duty to preserve evidence,” Lines said in a statement.Lines said the party is “reviewing all legal options at this time.”
Nail these fraudsters but good.
Is this part of his Security Program?
Lock him up!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 9, 2018
Statement from Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes on questions over the preservation of evidence
PHOENIX—In response to recent GOP questions regarding the preservation of evidence, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes released this statement:
“There are two parts to this issue, the ballot and the envelope. The GOP asked me to sequester both as evidence. Keeping the ballots separate and uncounted is illegal, and I refuse to disenfranchise voters. But, I still have the envelopes. So if they want to sue me for something I understand the Clerk’s Office is open until 5 p.m.”
bttt
Tell that a-hole they didn’t say to keep them separate AND uncounted, just separate. This guy has clearly been coached by his Democrat-selected lawyer to muddy the language.
Lock her up.
What a condescending bastard!! This whole mess is getting on my last nerve.
Mine, too. Think I will sue for mental distress and lack of sleep.
“Good God, this country is now nothing more than a banana republic with nukes. So glad my WWII-vet Dad is no longer around to see what we’ve become.”
No kidding. It would have broken the heart of my WWII-vet Dad.
What an ass! The GOP didn’t say those ballots couldn’t be counted, they said they had to be retained, as well as the envelopes, for review. Damn, I hate Democrats.
In Arizona: Supposed you request a mail in ballot. You don’t fill it out, but the county knows you were mailed one. The poll workers will see you requested a mail in ballot. So they will hand you a provisional ballot. They are then supposed to check to make sure you didn’t ACTUALLY submit a mail in ballot before counting the provisional ballot.
Lamppost
Rope
Some assembly required.
Treason! Give him the death penalty!
The arrogance and condescension make you want to do something drastic.

maybe English is a second language to this guy or he just isn’t that bright to understand english as a first language? He surely could have asked if he wasn’t clear on keeping things separate and not mixing them in to properly filled out ballots. He just shows he is NOT the person for the job, since he cannot abide by law nor follow requests reguarding non properly confirmed ballots.
