Washington Post: Complaining About Maricopa Vote Delays Is Disinformation
Newsbusters ^ | November 12, 2022 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 11/12/2022 7:38:46 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Are you among the increasing number of people wondering why Maricopa County, Arizona can't count their votes on time? As of this writing, three days after the midterm elections, there are still over 400,000 ballots yet to be counted in Maricopa County. In fact, most of the votes might not even be counted until after the weekend according to KTAR-News radio in Phoenix, "Maricopa County now says most ballots won’t be counted by Friday: ‘The goalposts have changed.’"

If you dare to criticize the apparent incompetence of the pathetically delayed ballot counting, you could be guilty of "disinformation" according to a Washington Post editorial published on Wednesday, "Here’s the sad truth about election-related disinformation."

You can’t count them until you fill them in.

That’s why there is no road back. Mail voting is not going to stop it will only spread. We are a regional party now

How bizarre is it that we now live in a world where the editorial board of a major American newspaper is calling for stricter censorship?

Not bizarre at all, when you consider they were all for freedom of speech, as long as they and their ideological brethren had control over 99% of the information flow.

The call for censorship is a desperate attempt to retain their power.

I remember back in ‘72 when Nixon won, but we didn’t know until late December.

It’s always been this way. </MSM>

Much of the delay comes from the need to check signatures on election day, or near election day "absentee" ballots.

Those ballots have to be opened and the date and signature confirmed.

That is a time-consuming process done by hand.

There are hundreds of thousands of those ballots this year.

Most of them are suspected to be MAGA supporters and Kari Lake voters.

“A major American newspaper calling for MORE censorship.”

It’s just what totalitarians do.

The Folks working over at the Compost are the biggest liars and the biggest cheats in the world.

As someone wrote, the mail in ballots are a recipe for cheating big time.

My brother moved to AZ a year ago, never voted here before. He mailed in his ballot two weeks ago.

He got a phone call from the appropriate person from Maricopa County a few days later, but before the election. They could not verify his signature, the woman said. She asked him a few 'security' questions: Previous address, when did you move and others.

She thanked him and said he was confirmed, and his vote would be added to the confirmed ballots section.

Took about five minutes. Multiply that exchange by what? 150,000 mail in ballots with issues? Maybe more?.

I am pretty much of the same mindset.

I’m in my 70s. I can go to meet my Maker with the knowledge that the bastards never defeated me. I just ran out of time. And time ALWAYS wins in the end.

Who among MAGA are watching the counting?
Ans. No one.

What are they likely doing?

Prominent, solid, seasoned investigators say they take Kari Lake ballots dropped off by real voters, shred them, replace them with counterfeits for Hobbs.

Here’s an info nugget to keep handy, the Netherlands has cameras watching all phases of chain of custody. Imagine that, a real-time audit accessible by the public through multiple cameras.

It takes:
Secure voter rolls.
Voter ID.
Election holiday.
In-person voting.
Counting under cameras.

France, a country of 65 million, only has paper ballots, doesn't permit mail-in voting, and there is no early voting. All votes are tabulated within 1 1/2 hours of the polls closing.

It is a shame that when the Republicans controlled the White House and Congress, nothing was done to incentivize the states to adopt the French model.

A major American newspaper calling for MORE censorship.

People need to stop thinking of WaPo as a newspaper, and instead a state-run, party propaganda outlet, no different from Pravda or China People's Daily.

Sure, there is "news" but they will only cover issues important to the state and spin in how the state wants.

It hasn’t always been done that way, our ballots used to be a form that had an incomplete arrow pointing to the candidate name. You selected the candidate by “completing” the arrow pointing to that person. You dropped it into a machine which recorded it.

“Misinformation” is a term that can mean whatever it’s speaker wants it to mean, which means it defines nothing. It’s like calling someone a racist; an empty choice of words that just means ‘I’m not happy ‘.

“It hasn’t always been done that way”

That’s what I figured. When the guy was talking, the sleaze was oozing out of his mouth. I didn’t believe what he said for one minute. I wish someone would call him on his lies.

These days Washington Post reporters are writing the news just like Pravda reporters. The rag may as well change its name to Washington Pravda.
