CHAOS: 63,000 Mail-In Ballots Went to Wrong Voters in Republican-Heavy Pinal County, Arizona

DEVELOPING STORY: As many as 63,000 mail-in ballots were delivered to the wrong voters in Pinal County, Arizona. Click here to join Todd’s private Facebook page for conservatives.

The Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Arizona released a statement calling for the immediate resignation of the county’s election director.

“During Arizona’s primary elections the RNC and Republican Party of Arizona’s poll observer program documented and reported multiple failures by Pinal County’s Election Administrator, including 63,000 mail-in ballots delivered to the wrong voters and multiple Republican-heavy precinct locations running out of ballots,” read a statement released by the parties.

“This is a comprehensive failure that disenfranchises Arizonans and exemplifies why Republican-led efforts for transparency at the ballot box are so important,” the statement continued. “Pinal County Elections Director David Frisk should resign immediately.”

Radio station KTAR reports the shortages were the result of “unprecedented demand for in-person ballots.”

The ballot shortage isn’t the first Pinal County issue during this election cycle.

Officials had to scramble after tens of thousands of voters were sent incorrect early mail ballots.

About 46,000 ballots mailed to voters in Casa Grande, Eloy, Maricopa, Mammoth and Superior plus the Pinal County portions of Apache Junction and Queen Creek were missing municipal contests.

The portions of Apache Junction and Queen Creek in Maricopa County were not affected, and neither were any other cities or towns in Pinal County.

The county said human error was to blame for the mistakes.

KTAR Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward blasted the county’s incompetence.

“What happened in Pinal County is completely unacceptable & makes it extremely difficult to have confidence in overall election results. Pinal is the third largest county in Arizona and it’s been screwed up since early voting began,” she wrote on Twitter.

After all the chaos in 2020 how in the world are there problems this significant in a single county? And how is it possible that the ballot shortages happened in Republican-heavy precincts?

> Are the early mail in ballots segregated when they come in ?

I believe they are grouped by date received and some other internal process identifiers (postal box attributes, audit batch, precinct, group sent out, etc). So an audit could distinguish some associations between mail in ballots. There’s some kind of break in the chain after the signature is verified which destroys some of the provenance (secret ballot, y’know?) but the processing is done with batches and audit control identifiers.

This year Pima went with “voting centers” which allowed voting from any polling location no matter what your precinct. I imagine this has created opportunities for a whole new universe of exploits beyond what’s possible for mail-in and early voting.

I think I will just research the whole thing and then see if I can free the data and make it public.

So we’ll know which way it’ll swing.... If Lake does not pull this out I can tell you this nation is in deep Doodoo. Kansas threw a miraculous lifeline to the damn demonic rats which is not good for the Republicans in November. That’s why I never celebrated this so-called red wave because we’ve gone through this before multiple times only to be disappointed at the end. There’s a good probability that the rats will squeak out a win in November. McConnell and McCarthy will have their wish come true.....POS!

“You can’t have final tallies within two hours after polls close unless you use electronic voting machines instead of paper ballots.

Processing paper ballots takes considerably more time.”

Ask France. 100% paper ballots. Final results are in by 8 pm. 65 million people.

Before machines, the USA used all paper ballots. We knew on election night all the winners.

In parts of Missouri ten years back, we used paper ballots that were fed into a reader/ballot box combo. Each precinct could take each box/reader and submit the totals at the close of voting. Each box was sealed and was available with the original ballots locked inside for a recount if needed. Elections were at 99% in three hours in almost all situations.

"They need to start sending election managers off to a year or two of prison for the amount of incompetence demonstrated."

Also minimum sentence- 10 years in prison for engaging in any kind of election fraud. (President Trump stopped the destruction of Statues with similar sentencing.)

And thorough investigations need to be done to determine why these politicians are so willing to rig the voting system.

IOW-What kind of, and how much, corruption are they involved in? (I.e. Hunter B's laptop, 'his father', the Arkansas crime family, doubt these are the only corrupt politicians.)

Just wow! How can they mess up 63,000 ballots. Either it is utter incompetence or as I believe, something fishy going on. They need to find other jobs if they cannot get this straight.

63k ballots is plenty to "adjust" an election.

Please give them some time. They need time to "adjust" the results, and make any evidence "baseless" and "debunked". Lots of hard work involved. /Sarcasm

All you really need is a contingent of precinct workers who can read and count. Do it in pairs, with each person from a different political party. It’s been done for centuries. Pretty hard to cheat.

"Before machines, the USA used all paper ballots. We knew on election night all the winners."

I remember those years too-All paper ballots, and results on election night.

I used the above example (paper ballots exc.. ) to explain to a young leftist relative that truthful elections are possible, (we used to have them), and why they are absolutely necessary for the well being of our country.

I said that what we have now, appears to be a situation where a crime syndicate rigs, or attempts to rig, the elections on both sides ( the numbers in ALL states, Red and Blue were off for 2020) in order to get their people in office, who will continue dirty deals to benefit themselves.

This results in misery for everyone else, stuck having to deal with their 🐂💨💩 policies exc...

This has to be remedied. Election integrity must be restored.

It's just insane that this has to even be explained to people.

For those who don’t know, Kelli Ward is one of the good guys.

I understand that the states are in charge of conducting elections the way they want to. But there has to be some Federal baseline Code that every state must comply with if there is even one Federal race on a ballot.

Election Day is Election DAY. One day. Not Election Week or Election Month. (Exception: Absentee Ballots — not mail-in ballots — for military.)

Voters vote in person at their appropriate polling place. No drop box and no mail-in. (Exception: Legitimate shut-ins verified by a physician will have ballots delivered to their residence by elections volunteers.)

All final tallies must be submitted and announced before midnight on election day.

Every voter must show an official picture ID verifying U.S. citizenship.

It’s not hard. It has always been that way.

“The county said human error was to blame for the mistakes.”

So those humans will be fired then. Right?

We have 5 times their population and our polls are open until 8 pm. Are you suggesting that we start reporting results before the polls close?
