Maricopa County now says most ballots won’t be counted by Friday: ‘The goalposts have changed’
KTAR ^ | Nov 10 2022 | BY DANNY SHAPIRO

PHOENIX — Maricopa County officials revised a prediction that most ballots would be counted by Friday, saying a day before that deadline that widespread counting would continue into the weekend.

County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday during a press conference that the original forecast of 95% to 99% of votes being counted by Friday wouldn’t happen due to the high total of ballots dropped off on Election Day.

“I’m here to tell you the goalposts have changed,” Gates said.

second half of this has Biden congratulating Kamala’s husband, Doug Emhoff, for his work, criss-crossing the country, re the ballots/counting of votes, etc. is that work for the Dems or what? the whole segment is terrific:

“ I’m here to tell you the goalposts have changed,”

He’s either very upfront about fraud or he doesn’t know what phrase means.

Moving the goal post is cheating.

If this is how Hobbs runs the election division, how can she expect to run the entire state?

There is nothing wrong with this process taking a long time.

It’s not a long time. The anti-theft strategy was to have huge number of Republican voters fill out their ballot and bring it to the Dropboxes on Election Day.

Every one of those ballots have to be name checked, address checked, and perhaps the law in Arizona requires a signature check. That process could not begin until the polls closed on Election Day, because the voters did not bring the ballot until then. A lot of screening has to take place starting at that time.

That has to happen before you can even start the count. This delay is a good thing. It’s not time to cheat. It’s time that prevents cheating.

Yes, it does. With workers from both parties checking each ballot together.

India, Canada, and Mexico, all very different countries, have a modern voting system and voter ID. These countries can do it but certain U.S. states cannot. Or will not, because the Democrats need the chaos and poor procedures to hide the cheating.

What's happening in Arizona is outright VOTER FRAUD and they'll blame the voters. It is FRAUD 100%.

The only other possible scenario is that Kari Lake will WIN.. but, by delaying the results until late Friday or into the football weekend the MSM will deliberately downplay her victory, stealing her thunder.

To count all the votes cast should have taken at maximum 4 to 5 hours. You are openly witnessing first hand the criminality of the LEFT.

It will NOT be accepted this time around.

And DON'T get me started on Pennsylvania's FRAUD.

Voters throughout this Country ALL feel pretty much the same. 75% to 80% say and feel that the Country is headed in the WRONG direction. So WHY in the world would they vote as if it were not?

Don't BLAME voters for being stupid. You're witnessing widespread FRAUD.

WHY do you think Florida turned out as it did? Because DeSantis took action early on in PREVENTING vote fraud.

Ron DeSantis displayed gutsy leadership in confronting COVID, enduring taunts as "DeathSantis" and far worse as he refused to cower before the might of Dr. Fauci, the medical establishment, Big Pharma, the media, and Democrat politicians. As a result, Florida prospered as other states closed down their businesses and schools. (The other governor who resisted the panic, South Dakota's Kristi Noem, won with an even bigger margin: 26.8 points with 97% of the vote counted.)

Voting integrity systems were put in place in Florida after the state became a national laughingstock in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, and "hanging chad" became a symbol of questionable vote totals. Florida permits any registered voter to request an absentee ballot, but the request has to be received by the office of the local supervisor of elections by the close of business ten days before the election. Only the voter or an immediate family member can make the request. There are NO mass mailings of vote-by-mail ballots.

In the end.. KARI LAKE will prevail and bring CHANGE to Arizona!

But since Hobbs is running the system and has not recused herself, people will be reasonably suspicious. What if she is honest and doing the proper procedures? That’s possible but it should not be that someone with a conflict of interest is running the thing.

Isn’t it interesting that the machines were purchased because they would enhance accuracy and expedite tabulation...Yet, back years ago, hand counts were completed same night of the election.

These “time saving” machines have to go!

Gradual acceptance

They want it to sink in, report after report Hobbs in the lead.

I think this is bad.

When ballots are counted in one fell swoop on election night in the presence of witnesses there is much less time and opportunity for skullduggery.

When the counting process can be stretched over a longer period of time - sometimes many days and nights - there is plenty of time and opportunity to manipulate the vote.

We saw that in 2020 when the election was blatantly stolen.

And we watched the culprits walk away free.

As there is no penalty for cheating there is no reason that democrats wouldn't do it again and again.

So that's exactly what they doing right now...

same way Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend “investigated” the vote fraud that shoved her and Glendenning into power in Maryland in the 90s.

Because they’re Demoncrats, they can.

Time for states/counties to provide copy of ballot to all.
