This is crazy. With 99% reporting it will take days????

Heard the Reps may file a lawsuit due to weekend voting or some such thing?

[Spok]

The Democrats will find boxes of uncounted ballots. It has worked before.

[patriotspride]

What a joke. The early votes should have already had a quick process set up to log them in as received and then report them.

If you can get live stuff that night what prevents you from summarizing things you have had for days .

Something smells/feels fishy

[ScottinVA]

Up to 100,000 outstanding ballots in Pima County and many more than that to be counted in Maricopa.

I truly thought the counting was nearly done... silly me.

OK.. +2 for the GOP in the Senate.

The reason is a million people request mail in ballots, then drop them off at the polling place instead of mailing them in.

This is also where there is a huge security hole in Arizona Elections. The mail in ballots are (for reasons unknown) placed in an unlocked box with a plastic seal at the polling place.

At the end of the night the seal is broken, they are taken out and counted, then put into a plastic bag to be sent in with other materials. The poll workers are supposed to be from different parties but anyone can register as whatever they want. So a polling place can be all of one like mind. They also have a book of the people in their district which tells them the party.

So a polling place of like minded workers could take say, 100 absentee ballots, compare the names to the poll book and throw away the ballots with names registered to the opposite party.

Considering the counties involved, my prediction is a final tally of Sinema +5%.

The fix is in.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Soros spent too much money on Sinema to give up that easily.

[yoe]

Wonder how many newly registered Dem. voters from CA. or just newly registered voters for both parties? CA. folks moving out of California into Arizona, Texas...bringing their crazy socialist problems with them.

[bgill]

What’s in the AZ water?

[bort]

475k early votes from Maricopa County need to be counted. 85k from Pima cCounty. And 40 k were just announced uncounted in Pinal County. McSally will likely carry Maricopa votes by a small margin (3/4 points), Sinema will carry Pima votes by 10, and McSally will carry Pinal votes by 10 points. There are probably less than 20 k ballots out in rest of state. My gut says McSally wins by 5k votes. It’s close

[shanover]

America has not learned from 2016. Our election system is a joke.

[EnquiringMind]

And we know what THAT means......

[LostPassword]

Sinema’s sixth “C” is real.

[hsmomx3]

There’s something very odd going on.

Site says 50% precincts reporting????? This morning it was 99%.

WTH is going on?

[fortheDeclaration]

Here we go again in a close election, ‘found’ ballots.
