Maricopa County’s Unique Process in Handling Ballots Exposes Added Opportunity for Fraud
The Gateway Pundit ^ | November 11, 2022 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 11/11/2022 9:34:30 AM PST by Dr. Franklin

Maricopa County is the only jurisdiction in the country that picks up completed ballots at USPS Processing Distribution Center, but doesn’t bring them back to the election department or tabulation center.

Maricopa County picks up mail-in ballots and takes them directly to its print vendor Runbeck Election Services, which is headquartered in Phoenix.

Every single completed mail-in ballot, whether mailed or dropped off at a polling place, goes to Runbeck. All mail-in ballots collected on election day, and the previous few days, are sitting at Runbeck headquarters. Maricopa has no idea how many ballots are in their possession because the ballots are at their print vendor.

...Runbeck scans the ballots in batches to create a digital image of each envelope signature area. This batch of images is given to the Maricopa tabulation center (MCTEC) for poll worker review. MCTEC notifies Runbeck if any of those signatures don’t match. Runbeck separates out those bad envelopes, then delivers both sets of these envelopes by van to MCTEC, which is 6 miles away. MCTEC then opens the envelopes and starts the tabulation process.

This “batch” process is repeated until all “mail-in” ballot envelopes are scanned at Runbeck. This takes 10-12 days after every general election, and ballots envelopes are delivered each day by Runbeck vans. Runbeck uses the Bluecrest Vantage mail processing machines to scan these ballot envelopes. This machine can process 40-50,000 ballots an hour. These machines can also automatically scan the ballot signatures using embedded commercial-grade check cashing signature software from Parascript. But Maricopa continues to use its slow manual “batch” process of reviewing signatures.

These Vantage machines cost $1.06 million each,... Maricopa could purchase two of these machines and process roughly 90,000 ballots an hour in-house. But Maricopa continues to re-sign contracts with Runbeck...

This is a travesty.

For the RINO here who keeps telling me how fraud-proof AZ's ballot counting procedures are, this exposes that lie. AZ does not even control custody of the ballots after receiving them from the USPS. What a mockery of an election!

Another mackery is letting one candidate for governor have control of state-wide election processes. That crap MUST change!

It’s obvious what the game is now.

Continue to report a widening lead for Hobbs as they dribble out the mail in votes which run towards her.

That establishes the “Hobbs is leading” line.

Then use the extra days to get in just enough phony ballots to check Lake’s lead in the election day drop offs. Since Hobbs “has lead” since election day, they have plausible deniability.

This is a steal being run out of DC. They can’t let Lake get in. They had Brnovich drop the ball on the 57,000 phony ballots identified by the Audit in 2021, and they have Gates and Penzone on offense right now making sure that no one gets close to the operation.

It’s called “Get Trump” and all his allies.

A common practice between cheating Dem states is the lack of a report on total ballots cast before beginning to tally the votes. It allows them to find more ballots when needed because the wrong candidate is leading.

that is why they do it the way they do, as do other counties and states.... we will not become a majority in the house. It is bought and paid for and Walker will lose by 1% in the Georgia runoff election. Just my feelings and voice of experience.I hope I am wrong and that sick feeling is just indigestion... but it is hard to swallow...... again.

According to AP as of an hour ago Hobbs is up by 26,979 over Lake. I sure hope there is a strong bunch of the drop off ballots for Lake.

there is no way an honest candidate can win in elections today if “they” don’t want them to.... but it will be close but not close enough.... WE ARE ALL SUCKERS.

The real ballots are being replaced and ballots are also being made up and added to the mix. That takes time. Not one republican leader is complaining about what is going on. Of course the GOP never liked Kari so they are probably in on the steal. I just hope they still can’t manage to steal it.

THAT is exactly what is happening.

The Robson/McCain machine is stretching out the process with BS excuses. The “Hobbs is leading” narrative is being used on the basis of early mail-in ballots to buttress the Steal when they glumly come out and say, “it’s an upset! Hobbs wins!”.

Lake was up double digits before the election. They are sitting on her election day votes while they build the BS narrative that will cover the steal.

There probably is a large batch of ballots that put
Lake over the top. But they won't be counted.
The DemonRats are attempting to steal the election.

So why aren’t GOP Lawyers, Judges, Officials at that collection center? Seems to me they should be there to see number of ballots dropped off and scanned; check signatures, etc.

The ballots for Kari have probably been dropped IN the lake.

From the Kirk show. Arizona- 350 thousand republicans who voted in primary have not had their votes counted yet.

Meanwhile in Nevada Laxalt who made all the talk shows yesterday saying it was impossible for him to lose is now the projected loser to the rat. Let these Dems keep counting and they never lose.

Also a couple of vote centers in AZ messed up and mixed the door 3 ballots(The ones dropped in the box when the machines didn’t work) with other ballets. So there were way more than 17,000. Maybe 90,000. This happened due to some kind of divider that was “Accidentally” removed.

So I am not sure I am understanding this correctly but it sounds like ballots that were already counted were mixed with the door 3 ballots. What a mess.

Now hearing that no more ballot counts are expected to be released today.
