Just a “ Heads Up” Voters
Self | 11/19/22 | After Hours

Posted on 10/19/2022 8:09:11 PM PDT by After Hours

I thought it might be worthwhile to share my experience with an Early Arizona Ballot today. Both my friend and I are on the Permanent Early Ballot list in order to vote by mail. By the way, it has worked well for us for many years past.

I went to my friends home to assist her with her ballot as she is vision impaired. WOW! When I unfolded the ballot it was 8 1/2 “. x 20”, printed on both sides. On the ballot ,in our county, we are given many choices: 2 Federal, 9 State, 4 County, 1 Non Partisan with 5 of 14 choices, 1 College District, 3 Questions, 1 Superior Court Justice, 1 Appellate Judge, 1 Superior Court judges with 47 yes/ No choices and 10 propositions.

Even with the help of a Republican Party mailer, It took us the better part of an hour to wade through and mark up a copy.

So, where am I going with all this? It is just a friendly “ heads up” to plan and prepare for Election Day to get your vote cast in the most safe, and efficient manner possible.

It is likely turnout will be high, lines will be long and people will be frustrated with a lengthy ballot. Not to mention the usual horror stories, I.e., we ran out of ballots, printer broke, etc.,etc.

I will be taking a short cut this election and will drop off my prepared ballot at an early voting center to avoid long lines, mail options and hopefully have a bit more security

Once again, Plan and Prepare for Election Day. We have several options to vote and your vote is more important than ever!

Only Vote on Election Day. To do otherwise plays right into the hands of the Commies.

Go to your secretary of state web site and print out a sample ballot. This has everything that will be on your official ballot and gives you time to study and learn.
I fill out my sample ballot and take it with me when I vote. Makes it fast, easy and no surprises or questions.

I’ll be voting here in Arizona as well. We moved from Georgia 18 months ago, so this’ll be my first time. I’m excited to vote for Lake, among others!

In Washington Stater we have our ballots come in the mail. Once we fill it out, we sign the mailing envelope with the date and put it in the post office box—or in our mailbox to be mailed or in a drop-off box. I elect to use the drop-off box, which is collected every day and sent to our county elections to be counted. My party will know that I have voted and won’t make phone calls to ask me to vote. Those who mailed or dropped off their ballots on election day, may not get their votes counted until days latter.

The count is done with electronic ballot scanning machines. The scanning machines are the devices I have the most concern. It is easy to change the software to count straight-ticket Republican ballots with the opposite result.

It’s Beginning: Arizona Ballot Stuffer Caught Covering Up License Plate
Republic Brief ^ | 10/19/2022 | Kari Donovan

A War with the Mules who stuff ballot boxes is underway around the country as early voting has started, and activity around the ballot drop boxes has increased. One citizen organizer appeared on the War Room program with host Steve Bannon recently to explain her brilliant strategy on how to protect US elections by being a watchman over the boxes.

Recent updates about her activity in one highly contentious battleground state is already great success exposing the dirty tricks and corruption around the troublesome ballot boxes.

Melody Jennings, the founder of Clean Elections USA, whose mission is to reveal illegal ballot stuffing, told Bannon on his program her inspiring story, then together, the two laid out a call to action for others to join her group’s efforts to secure what Bannon says is going to be a victory for MAGA in the mid-terms.

“Only Vote on Election Day. To do otherwise plays right into the hands of the Commies.”

That might not be true. The ballots you cast on election day appear to somehow be getting replaced as the election machines are hacked. There is speculation they are hacking the machines and setting the totals, and then having the machines print out “replacement ballots correlating to the votes, (which they are only supposed to do for damaged ballots.) That might be how they get the hacked digital total, which we saw change right on live TV, to match the paper ballots.

If so, producing a hard copy delivered to the election headquarter’s drop box might be the best way to put a hard ballot in the system which will not be replaced.

Though I am not even sure if that is effective.

The bottom line is you have to expose the intelligence operation behind the rigging. The most exposed part of that is the domestic surveillance it has arrayed in everyone’s neighborhood.

You should always look up the contents of the ballot before going in to vote to avoid surprises, especially when it comes to “questions” etc.

In case you are surprised, here’s some general guidance for figuring what to mark-

Is this something that will cost more money? Vote no.

Is this some sort of state constitutional or county charter change? Vote no.

Does it read like it’s a change that will make something “fair” or “sensible”? Vote no.

Unless you have some familiarity with an issue, it’s a good idea to vote against it.

Keep in mind that almost all of these items are placed on the ballot by the state, whose only goal is more power and money, especially in democrat areas.

As an example of the third question above, I had a question where they wanted to make it a rule that anyone appointed to the orphan’s court had to have a law license.

Sounded reasonable until I realized there is no such restriction on the US Supreme Court so I voted no.

Even though USSC members are lawyers and probably wouldn’t pass the review process otherwise, it is not a requirement.

Let your understanding of the constitution and principle of limited government be your guide in times of confusion.

In this country, it’s supposed to be power to the people, not the government.

Presumably you weren’t referring to this kind of “heads up”, but I hadn’t heard of college district elections before now.

Note, our team has them too, but this must be a record, with the party affiliation in both the headline and the second word of the article:

Election day voting only. This will stop the cheating and nothing else will. How do you know that mail in ballot was even counted?
You don’t!

FWIW in Maricopa. County we receive a text or email when our vote is received and a second one when it is counted.

Unfortunately, the Republican Party has its share of creeps too.

So far, so good. We’ve found a good church, am involved in local conservative politics, and have made some good friends. We live in Casa Grande, which is between Tucson and Phoenix. Cost of living is fairly low here, and if we do want to experience the arts or a good restaurant, those things are available within a 45 minute drive.

The summers are pretty hot, but it’s great this time of year.
