Oops! Poll Workers at Nine Arizona Voting Sites Forgot to Deliver Results

Arizona’s primary election was Tuesday, but voters and candidates still don’t know the results in some of the most contentious races. That’s partially because poll workers at nine vote centers "forgot” to retrieve the data packs holding the results information.

According to the Arizona Republic, each of the state’s 99 voting centers were equipped with two tabulators. After voters filled out their ballots, they fed them into the machines, which counted the results. The information was stored on memory packs in the machines.

But at nine centers, poll workers failed to pick up these packs before they headed back to election headquarters, says Maricopa County Elections Department Spokesperson Megan Gilbertson. The votes were tabulated but not uploaded.

Gilbertson said the packs are stored in locked, tamper-proof compartments inside the machines. On Wednesday morning, a bipartisan team of poll workers retrieved the data packs to bring them back to headquarters for processing.

Like the old Steve Martin routine on "How to earn a million dollars … and never pay taxes!"

Step 1) Get a million dollars
Step 2) Don't pay taxes
Step 3) When the IRS knocks on your door, say "I forgot!"

Tamper proof compartment means little. It's registering the votes and getting to the end game that counts.

The Dems should just put out their points....20 ways to rig an election.

Will never forget where they suddenly came up with 20,000 votes for Hillary in one state...a swing state IIRC.

It appears to me that a more revealing description would be that the poll workers conveniently left the vote tabulation “data packs” unattented so that they could be “adjusted” if need be and subsequently “discovered” during a recount.

USPS a much better choice right? LOL! Everybody gets to vote that is eligible. But, does that vote actually get tabulated? How would one know?

I’m going to go way out on a limb and make a wild guess that these nine ballot box results were from predominantly Republican polling stations. Sarc/.

Great checks and balances you got there, AZ.
HOW MANY SIX-FIGURE PEOPLE DESIGNED IT?

“Heads need to roll...”

If I had my way, your statement would be literally true. Instead, we will hear, “Mistakes were made...”.

Get ready for election night. The Democrats are planning to sow so much chaos that the national results will lose all integrity and we will never know who actually won in close states. The courts will decide the election and the process will continue state by state for months through appeals and emergency hearings by the SCOTUS.

Regardless of who wins, half the country will believe they were cheated thus undermining all trust in the democratic process which was the goal of the totalitarian left all along.
