Technical expert, Dan Sundin, has homed in on the likely cause of why 30% of the tabulators in Arizona could not process the majority of Republican ballots on Election Day.
During the 2022 General Election, the election programming was set up to process 20” long ballots. This was a change from the 2020 General and the 2022 Primary ballots, which were 19” long – an inch shorter.
So when Arizona election officials say they don’t know what happened on November 8th because everything was the same as Arizona’s primary – this isn’t true.
The ballot size wasn’t the same.
Why does that matter?
This means, that for in-person voting, the official ballot image had to be compressed to fit on smaller paper than it was built for.
Compression causes the ink to be a little lighter than it should be and thus affects how the tabulators read the ballot.
Maricopa County directed some voting centers to increase how dark the printing was, and this helped the problem somewhat.
The bigger problem, however, is that compressing the image skews where the ovals end up on the paper. The tabulators use a digital map to know where to look for votes. If the ovals aren’t where they belong, the tabulator won’t be able to find them or will misread them. This problem will cause the tabulators to improperly read ovals, or not be able to read the ballot at all.
This is what most likely caused the high rejection rate and why so many ballots ended up having to be set aside in Drawer 3 – which led to another set of problems, and a lot of delays.
We all know delay favors fraud.
The equipment tabulating ballots at the MCTEC center is different than the Dominion ICP tabulators used for in-person, Election Day voting. Those scanners are more forgiving for shrunk/skewed ballots and are able to be manually adjudicated by election workers. That’s likely why we’re not seeing the same problems in the processing of ballots which were cast by mail or early in person.
It’s clear that whatever logic and accuracy testing was done in Arizona to get ready for Election Day wasn’t a real-world test.
The logic and accuracy test used pristine, pre-printed ballots that were professionally printed offsite and fed into the Dominion ICP tabulators to make sure they were working.
A real logic and accuracy test, however, would have used ballots printed on-site by the ballot-on-demand printers. That would have been a genuine end-to-end test, and it would have caught what ended up being a massive problem.
Since Republicans are more likely to vote in person on Election Day, they were disproportionately affected and disenfranchised by the incompetence of the election officials. Failing to correctly test the system to understand the effect of changing the ballot size was a fatal error. This amounted to a massive violation of voters’ constitutional rights, which requires equal protection under the law.
This issue didn’t affect the Democrat-leaning, mail-in ballots. The Democrat-leaning, early in-person ballots are processed at the MCTEC Center on equipment more able to process the skewed images and manually adjudicate problem ballots.
We don’t know if all this was intentional or not. But the poorly designed process and failure to properly test equipment under real-world conditions have led to yet another third-world election in Arizona.
It’s worth noting that hand counting would not be affected in the slightest by a skewed ballot. Get rid of the machines.

Who’s going to prosecute?
The FBi and DoJ?
Hunter Biden’s limo driver?
They understand this.
Every state that has these half-azzed machines should sue Dominion for the cost of the machines and double that amount for pain and suffering.
This is the disenfranchisement that Dems are always talking about. Dems control the elections in AZ. They had to know that the paper was different. An inch is quite a difference. I don’t trust these counts in Az at all.
There needs to be a hand counted audit. Of course, there won’t be any way to get the votes from people who came to vote on Election Day but could not wait for many hours due to these complications.
Our ballots would not fit in the envelopes. We had to put San extra fold in them.
We don’t need no stinkin’ tests...
a little sawdust in the gears
Re-vote
BTTT!!!
Doesn’t sound good to me.
bttt
Possible class action suit?
But, I understand they had a full-dress trial run the day before and everything checked out. The glitch only showed up on election day. Que’ pasa??

and everything checked out.
Could you please share with us your source for this? Thanks.
How convenient.
Here is one reference. There was another, I believe it was a TV show that mentioned what I call a “trial run” but can’t recall what show.

Michelle Swinik Michele Swinick was an election judge in Maricopa County on election day last week. Following the election Michele stepped forward to discuss what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day. Michele worked at a center in a heavily Republican district. According to Michele, the tabulators worked perfectly well the night before the election. Then on Election Day they quit working. Only 1 in 10 ballots were accepted through the tabulators. The officials were told to put the defective ballots into a different section called “Door 3.” Michele believes this was all planned. The election officials knew that...”
It appears that the machines were tested with pre-printed ballots. But when they got out to the polling centers, the printers that were used there were printing on a different size paper that what they were tested with and they were the wrong size for the machines. This resulted in the machines not accepting the ballots.
Were the ballots that were put in “door 3” ever counted? If not, there definitely should be a hand recount and the state should pay for it. Sh__ show.
