Arizona was ceded to the United States in 1848 and in 1863 it became a territory. It was not until 1912 that Arizona became a state. It is a beautiful land with vast changes in temperature within its borders. In terms of land area it is the 6th largest state in the union and has a population of just over 7 million.
And it's the most corrupt state in the US with Maricopa County being the worst of it.
Following a 2020 audit, Arizona bought 400 new voting machines, ordered by the Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. Maricopa County tests all of its voting machines prior to each election.
MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. - Maricopa County is testing out its voting machines – the process is done before and after every election. Why? It's to make sure there are no issues with the counting of votes.Yet right on cue come election day the machines fail to work properly.The process of checking the machines is called the "logic and accuracy test." The process, while underway, is open to the public. This way, Maricopa County Elections Department can make sure it's programmed the equipment accurately, and they are going to count all the ballots for the general election as they are designed.
The County then began a hand countMaricopa County, Arizona, Supervisor Bill Gates apologized after roughly 20% of their polling sites had problems with tabulation machines reading ballots just hours after Election Day polls opened.
The Arizona county had explained that some machines had problems with their printers and were not producing dark enough ink on ballots. During a Wednesday news conference, Gates said that of the approximately 250,000 in-person votes that were cast on Election Day, "the lion's share" have been counted and reported, but 7% — or about 17,000 ballots — were placed in a drop box and had still not been counted due to the printing errors.
Maricopa County election officials in Arizona's most populous region have begun a hand count audit, officials announced late Wednesday.
"The hand count audit has begun," the county’s election department said on Twitter. "Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian party chairs drew the races and ballots that hand count audit boards will review Saturday.
"This is an important step in ensuring the accuracy of the 2022 General Election results," they added.
The seemingly small number of ballots affected become a very large issue when one considers the miniscule number of votes separating the candidates. And this time, as every time, the breakdowns work out in favor of democrats.
In the latest ballot drop, 62,000 votes had been counted out of the 1.43 million cast on Tuesday, according to a report from CNN. There are roughly 410,000 votes left to count. CNN reported that Kelly gained 7,320 votes and Hobbs won 4,960 votes in Maricopa County, which surrounds the state capital Phoenix.There's something about Katie.
Katie Hobbs has been the Secretary of State in Arizona since 2019. She has some interesting supporters, one of whom is named Soros. George Soros created something called the Secretary of State Project.
The “Secretary of State Project "was an American non-profit, progressive 527 political action committee focused on electing reform-minded progressive Secretaries of State in battleground states, who typically oversee the election process. The Project was funded by George Soros and members of the Democracy Alliance.And the important part
This is the playbook now for how Democrat political machines will generate vote totals. The political leadership has no interest in respecting the legitimate right to vote, and they have no problem with validly cast votes being canceled out by invalidly cast votes.Last month Hobbs sent out about 10,000 "erroneous" ballots. Doesn't sound all that many, does it?
George Soros' Secretary of State Project has been funding progressive Secretaries of State all over the country via the Democracy Alliance.
More entertainment about Hobbs and Maricopa can be seen here.
Now she gets to control her own election (she refused to recuse herself) and the fact that that voting process is being slow-rolled is no coincidence. One could not be faulted for thinking that, as before, just enough votes are being found to make certain that the democrat wins.

Somehow, I doubt any state is more corrupt than New Jersey, with Illinois being a close second.
...All the way back to Bisbee versus Tombstone.
“Arizona is arguably the single most corrupt state in the nation“
Pa takes the crown. Mi,Az, No are almost as bad.
Nothing surprising here.
As I have said all along, Lake, Masters, Finchem, Hamadah and Horne all had to win way amore votes than the Margin of Cheat. In my opinion, the Margin of Cheat is somewhere between 5% and 10%.
Arizona has a Recall statute.
The Rats used it to go after Evan Mecham back in the 80s when he refused to genuflect at the altar of St. Martin King.
If they put Hobbs in over Kari, then the Recall should start immediately, and never end. Kinda like what they did to Trump.
Undoubtedly they will come up with more dirty tricks like the printer “problem”, but from here on out it should be total war against the crooked Hobbs and her handlers.
She’s not smart enough to do this on her own obviously. But she’s the touchy feely front woman for all of it. She needs to be endlessly pursued. She has no business being in AZ government.
Arizona fights where CA GOP fights like a flopping beached fish.
Don’t forget Washington State, especially King County !
Yep so much corruption in so many places
And California aka Chicago west.
DC is the most corrupt. Oh wait...
Arizona is not REMOTELY the most corrupt. The problem isn’t the counting. It is the voting. And what “Republicans” have become. I posted this on the Arizona forum:
McCain Republicans have sabotaged conservative candidates in the general elections for YEARS! It is a very familiar feeling to anyone active in Arizona politics over the last 20 years: If a conservative Republican survives the primary, McCain Republicans will abandon them in the general!
Give me the names of establishment Republicans in Arizona who, after their candidate lost the primary, campaigned for Kari! Who? Not the Governor. Not the Attorney General - who actually attacked Kari Lake on 60 Minutes a week out! He called her crazy. You think the independents who watched 60 Minutes didn’t notice? And not Robson, who has been invisible since conceding! NONE!
America First Republicans will vote for a flawed Republican candidate because we care about America and hate the harm liberals do. Establishment Republicans will sit out or vote Democrat if a conservative wins the primary BECAUSE THEY CARE ONLY ABOUT THEIR OWN POWER!
If they can’t DRIVE the bus, they’ll try to DERAIL the bus! And that doesn’t require fraud. Just voting for the other side, or campaigning for the other side (Cindy McCain & Joe Biden).
What is happening in Maricopa County is NOT a problem caused by DEMOCRATS. Republicans control the county and the counting. But we don’t have the votes because the Establishment Republicans in the state either sat out the general election or voted Democrat! Consider:
“I think there are a lot of clowns out there that saw what they wanted to see,” Mr Brnovich said, referring to people who denied the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election result. “What is it, a Simon and Garfunkel line? ‘A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest?’”...
Mr Brnovich, who finished a distant third behind Mr Masters and Jim Lamon in the Republican Senate primary earlier this year, was not impressed — calling election fraud claims “horses***”.
“It’s like a giant grift, in some ways,” Mr Brnovich said.”
Let me repeat for emphasis: “who finished a distant third behind Mr Masters and Jim Lamon in the Republican Senate primary earlier this year”! Since he didn’t win the primary, he wanted the democrats to win!
THAT is the crap that has cost us the election! There are not 200,000 fraudulent ballots in Arizona! We’re losing BECAUSE OF REPUBLICANS - including our two term Governor Ducey (Ducifer) and Kari’s opponent in the primary, super-establishment Karrin Taylor Robson!
The daughter of a former Arizona Senate President and wife of a billionaire, she tried to buy the election. When she couldn’t, she pulled out. Like McConnell, she prefers Democrat rule to CONSERVATIVE rule!
Arizona is not corrupt, but the Arizona Republican Party in Maricopa sure is! And please note that in most rural counties, Kari Lake has won overwhelmingly. MOST republican voters in the state DID vote for her - but we’ve lost 10-20% of Maricopa, Cheap Labor, China-loving, ALL ABOUT ME Republicans. We lost genuine voters who view politics as a way to line their own pockets.
Just like we did in 2020.
Stop pretending it is fraud by democrats. IT IS BETRAYAL BY ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS!

That’s a bold statement, given Illinois, NY, Cali, NJ, and so many others. All of whom seem to have one thing in common. What could it be. I wonder.
I lived many years in both. Illinois makes NJ look like pikers when it comes to bribes, graft, and corruption. Just look at the long list of Governors in Illinois who went on to make licenses plates after leaving office.
Very stiff competition.
I remember a Pogo story arc involving a cheating contest. Pogo was the judge, and afterwards the two contestants both lunged at him to coerce a final decision as to the winner.
So now we can win a recall vote here, conducted by a crook?
I got nuthin
The law is dead
