Trump blasts Maricopa County after Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly defeats Blake Masters: 'Do Election over again!'
Fox News ^ | November 12, 2022 | Lawrence Richard

Posted on 11/12/2022 2:50:04 AM PST by McGruff

Former President Donald Trump blamed Maricopa County for alleged "voter fraud" after Republican Blake Masters, his endorsed senatorial candidate in Arizona, lost to Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. The race was called late Friday evening.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the result was "a scam" that could be attributed to "voter fraud" and that acting forces "stole the election," which he said should be held again.

"So in Maricopa County they’re at it again. Voting Machines in large numbers didn’t work, but only in Republican districts," he wrote. "People were forced to wait for hours, then got exhausted or had other things to do and left the voting lines by the thousands."

Do Republicans ever win tight elections at the end? Seems like Dems “always” find the votes.

I don’t count W in FL since that was an effort to count until Gore found enough votes by only recounting Dem strongholds.

Cry baby Trump is not a good look for leadership. Sitting on his $100 million in PAC money is not leadership. He hoped to hoard money and claim a Red Wave in 2022 as his mandate to run again. Didn’t work out for him. Now he’s upset. If he runs, he must be defeated in the primaries or we’ll certainly lose the White House in 2024. He’s done nothing to rehabilitate his image with the larger electorate, just b*tch and moan and cry over 2020.

What would it be like if vote casting and vote counting could happen all on the same day? Say, on something called, Election Day?

Or is that not technically possible.

Oh BS with your ‘Orange Man Bad garbage!

No amount of money poured into a Republican campaign will overcome the cheating going on. The Dems don’t even try to hide it and you still want to blame Trump. give me a break!

Are you sure? It was my understanding it was that actual ballot.

I think you’re right. It was the “ballot on demand” printers at the polling places.

Looks like it got stolen AGAIN.

So, Mr. Trump, how much of the $150+ million that you collected for your “Election Security Fund” in 2021 has been spent to secure elections? The repots out there say zero.

How in the world did Trump have any power to fix election fraud? Republican leadership refused to acknowledge there was any fraud at all. Your blame on Trump is only because you were already biased against him.

You Never Trumpers make the dumbest arguments.

The Murdochs have always been pro-Bush family. Trump just gave them high ratings, but the Murdochs, like most elites, are not pro-MAGA. They just use MAGA for ratings. Watch Tucker's editorials online until he finds a better network. Turn FAUX News off.

These are printed out by the voting machine after you vote in person. They’re the paper record of your vote and the only way to audit.

There has been evidence presented that the bar code info on those printed ballots, that only the computer can read, may not match the written name on the ballot, giving a false impression to the naked eye of how the vote was actually counted, or would be recounted by computer. That's why some of these places have gone so far as to basically outlaw hand recounts.

You start with identifying where and how it happened. The hard work that people like Mike Lindell and Dinesh D'souza were doing. They didn't make any money off that work, they donated everything, but reports are that Trump collected about $200 million for an "Election Security Fund" that was supposed to do those kinds of things too, but didn't.

There's a grand jury investigating it with subpoenas now, unfortunately, so Trump does have some questions to answer, not just ethically but now potentially legally. And not I'm not hating on Trump, but if elections are possibly being stolen AGAIN, it's fair to ask where that money went.

On Election Day, he process of walking into a polling place, signing in, marking your ballot, and putting it in the scanner takes a few minutes.

The rules AZ has for mail in or drop off takes three to four times as long because their rules are pretty strict.

The math on this stuff might seem simple. It’s not.

Even if you staff for last elections results, if there is a significant change in the method of voting (early, drop off, in person) and the Board of Elections was not prepared the amount of time to process would increase exponentially.

It’s the same math that causes long check out lines in grocery stores or long wait times when calling a bank.

Math is hard for some folks. But working within a set of rules established by politicians who don’t have a clue will cause this type of mess. In other words…it’s the state’s own damned fault.

Trump was out holding rallies for these candidates, which is worth far more than ad money.

Stop blaming him and start blaming Mitch McConnell and the GOP establishment, who went out of their way to sabotage conservative candidates all so he could hang onto power in minority party.

It was McConnell and the Republican establishment that came up with the outrageous ranked choice that will likely save the witch Murkowski and cost Republicans a House seat. It was outrageous.

No matter who gets the nod as the next candidate for the GOP as POTUS, or any other position, that person will lose.

Between now and then the nazi party will have enough illegals within this country to throw the election their way. THEY WILL MAKE IT SO ILLEGALS CAN VOTE!

So go ahead and cheer DeSantis or Trump all you want, they aint going to have a chance.

Why can’t you count early mail in ballots when they are received and just not announce the results until election day? Doesn’t seem like rocket science.

What nonsense. It can't be Trump's party when those with the REAL power in the party are actively trying to undermine him and candidates that support him.

Your whole rant rests on the totally false notion that Trump has more power than the Republican establishment, which actively worked with Democrats to undermine MAGA candidates.

How the hell is a conservative supposed to win in Alaska with the rigged ranked choice system? That was deliberately designed to assure Palin and Tshibaka? What the hell was Trump supposed to about that?

And, never mind Deep State and the power it has to undermine Trump and the elections.

The losses are on the Republican establishment. It was deliberate sabotage and the message is that only GOPe candidates will be allowed to win.

Vote fraud is everywhere.
In New Hampshire, where ‘republicans’ continue to hold the state house, state senate and governor’s office, the voters have somehow and in some way re elected 3 democrats to DC, 2 members of the House and 1 to the US Senate. So, how is it possible, in an election where republicans sweep all state-wide offices that 3 very vulnerable and very liberal democrats get re elected?
The answer is simple; the governor, Chris Sununu, is a RINO, and just like Mitch McConnell, he doesn’t want Trump-backed conservatives to go to Washington. This has happened many times in New Hampshire. Twenty years ago there was a solid conservative senator from NH named Bob Smith. The RINOs that run the state didn’t like him, so they actually launched a primary challenge against a sitting member of their own party. Their candidate was none other than the brother of the current governor, John E Sununu, who somehow defeated Smith in the primary. That election was loaded with fraud, and there were ballots cast that were marked for Sununu but no down ballot candidates. There were towns where every single person in the town voted, and their ballots were marked for Sununu. If I remember correctly, there was at least one town where more people voted than actually lived in the town. It was ridiculous, and obvious, but nothing was ever done about it, and John E Sununu served one term as US Senator, and was promptly defeated in the next election by the extremist democrat Senator Shaheen, who still holds the seat. As usual, the RINO establishment in New Hampshire would much prefer a liberal democrat than somebody who actually represents conservative republican values.
I have maintained for years that the democrats in America would lose their power if the US would hold one honest and open election using paper ballots that are hand counted. One election that goes by the simple rules set by the US Constitution, which states that election will be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in an election year. No early voting, no late voting, no mail-in ballots, no non citizens or illegal aliens voting, no convicted felons voting, no dead people voting, no same day voting, no motor voter voting, no absentee voting without verification, or any of the illegal and underhanded methods used to steal votes or cheat on the ballots. One honest election and the democrats would disappear from elected offices across the country. They would still hold power in the usual places, but not on the scale we see now, and they would not hold any majorities in DC either. Take a look at the election maps by county in every election for the last twenty years and what you’ll see is a sea of red.
Donald Trump is correct.
There is massive fraud everywhere.
