After 2020, and the Red Ripple of 2022, I've been severely black pilled.
Not if you don't trust the system and Kari Lake's opponent is the Secretary of State. Voters requested a mail ballot but had cold feet about the honesty of election, so they dropped them off on election day instead.
When I went to my polling place to vote in Arizona, the people bypassing the line to drop off their ballot was non-stop— more than I’ve ever seen. I was kind of jealous. Maybe I’ll do that next time.
Now I’m hearing counted votes and uncounted votes got mixed up??? AND the only way to truly know the count is to start over and fire whoever made this “mistake” and ban them from the building.
Tens of thousands of voters who fill out their mail-in ballot do not trust using the Postal Service for delivery. We have seen countless times where ballots are discovered dumped on the side of the road, or in garbage bins, etc.
So that’s why they personally drop the ballot off directly at the voting precinct.
It’s called ballot harvesting and if you know what you were doing this is how you would do it. You now control at least some of the numbers.
I agree it sounds strange but I have heard that the GOP candidates actively told their supporters to do it this way.
Without exactly saying this specifically, if they suspected that the machines were programmed (e.g. via USB flash drive or internet) to automatically cast votes for people who didn’t mail in early or sign in at the polling station, then having people drop them off would cause a wrinkle on the alleged vote stealers. They couldn’t get away with stealing votes from people who dropped them off day of. Or so the story goes. And this, potentially, is a cause for delay because any program that may have been inserted would be faulty.
Of course all those people who suspect that elections are anything less than 100% perfect are election deniers/conspiracy theorists/dangerous ideologues/mega-maga extremists/QAnon music listeners.
The way to beat the cheating left is to vote on election day so they don’t know how many votes they need to plant. This is widely known.
It really depends on the County you’re voting in. Maricopa is well known for being corrupt to their toenails.
You obviously do NOT know anything about Arizona!
So, Lake is going to lose in AZ?

You got that right.

Read this story. If true, I would NEVER put a ballot in a mail box.
AZ is different from your assumptions. Since 90 they have a mailed out ballot you can fill out and sign the outer envelope. Then you can mail it or drop at a polling place. I dropped mine off twice in nine years.
An absentee ballot can be requested if you are gone during the entire ballot period and it is signed for in person.
The mail in ballots are tabulated in a two step process where the signature is scanned and verified and after that confirmation such confirmed correctly valid ballots are then tabulated. Precinct workers are busy with in-person ballots and don’t have thecomputer scanner that verifies yourvote was accepted and verifies your signature.
This mail in system has traditionally encouraged retirement community seniors that are majority conservative.
I dropped three ballots at my precinct in California when I went to vote in person.
Husband, son, DIL.
They COULD have mailed but we prefer to hand deliver to a locked box in a precinct and avoid the US mail.
Voting in person too hard for hubs and the kids I didn’t trust to go! They are rather apathetic but do vote properly. Mostly to pacify me.
I was involved with a recount in 2020 for a smallish blue-state congressional district for the House of Representatives. It came down to about 200 ballots out of ~50,00 cast and EACH AND EVERY one had to be affidavited before a judge that the ballot was legitimate. The Dems actually delayed the recount about 2 weeks while they “found” more ballots (yeah, that’s what they said), turns out from 2016. It took weeks but the Republican finally prevailed.
Yes, I believe it. We do not give our ballots to the counters in Oregon until election day. Smart people do this.
Postal workers know demographics. Collect the ones you like.
The rest ride around in the mail truck for a few weeks. They may or may not quietly move to the land fill.
Airlines don’t get penalized for missing luggage. Only late.
Trust Kari Lake. She knows she is going to win this race. When all those election day drop-off ballots are counted, she will have a comfortable winning margin. We should know this by about Wednesday, if I were to guess when.
Don’t be shocked if Masters rides her coattails to a squeaker win by a few hundred or thousand votes.
You’re not from Arizona. I’ve lived here since 1996. I’ve been on the early voting list for the last 4 cycles and I turn my completed ballot in at the polling place. It’s literally half a mile from my house. Hubby isn’t on the EVL so he votes in person and I accompany him. I wouldn’t trust the USPS with my precious vote because they’re inept and often times corrupt. I’m pretty sure that there are hundreds of thousands of Arizonans who drop their early ballots off in person.
