Claim that Sharpie pens ruin Arizona ballots misses the mark

In what’s come to be known as #Sharpiegate, social media posts suggest that election officials in Maricopa County provided voters with Sharpie pens, which interfered with ballots being recorded, specifically those for President Donald Trump.

Arizona election officials say that voting with a Sharpie would have no impact on the votes being recorded by tabulation machines, and if there was an issue, there is a process that would keep the ballots from being canceled out.

Obe problem with Sharpies is that they bleed through the paper. We do use markers, but I do not think they are Sharpies

Whatever.

Arizona voters would be wise to check the status of their votes ASAP. If their vote says “canceled”, then do something about it right now!

I thought the issue was with the inks and solvents.

Sharpies use an alcohol solvent based ink, Flairs use water based and ink pens use oil based.

They all have different optical reflectivity qualities and maybe Sharpies cause issues with the optics of the scanners.

/wild guess

If they get away with election theft, oh hell, even if they don’t, President Trump needs to find a prosecutor who will indict Hunter and “The Big Guy”.

For the love of gawd, Biden bragged on TV about using his clout to get the Ukrainian prosecutor fired to keep him away from the Biden Crime Family corruption.

I saw a clip, I think it was on Newsmax, of Biden right after his first senate win in the 1970s. The interviewer obviously thought he would be talking to some young idealist and asked Biden about corruption in DC.

Stupid Joe: What makes you think I’m not corrupt?

The interviewer was surprised. Dumbass Joe went on to say that in politics people give you money and they “expect things”.

He was filthy from Day One.

They harassed Trump nonstop, the only one who was incorruptible. What could any foreign government offer Trump that he could not acquire on his own? Or that he would compromise his family’s safety for?

Not one damn thing.

Brilliantly low tech voter suppression. Bring sharpies to the heavily Republican districts and the voters void their own ballots.

“there is a process that would keep the ballots from being canceled out”

Yeah. You have to call to check with them. Or log in. People here have said they tried it and the website says they aren’t allowed to vote.

It’s a scam.

Lot of folks have now checked to see if their vote was counted or not, and because they used a sharpie they were not counted. So despite this Spyops article the accusation is true from what it looks like.

Actually these were the ballots tabulated during the Nov 3 in person voting. Voters were putting them into the machine themselves. So they were counted.
The question is what did the machine actually read?
I know the machines were coming with overvotes a lot!

My wife has been reading personal accounts all day about it on facebook. So if you do facebook, do a search for it in Az there are a bunch! I don’t do it so I would not be able to point you to a page for the running comments about it. Sorry... :)

Joe Biteme called the prosecutor corrupt and a son of a bitch.

Has lying Joe EVER given one shred of evidence of corruption? What case(s)? What circumstances? It’s corrupt AF Joe’s conspiracy theory. That’s all he’s got.

Partner, we all remember Alzheimer's/Dementia Joe. He is a slimeball and he should be in jail right now.

Biden's son Hunter should also be in jail for his crimes.
