There should be 30K “sharpie” votes to process as well I believe
Correct. I hear Arizona WILL COUNT sharpie votes by hand if “the will of the voter can be ascertained”!!
‘There should be 30K “sharpie” votes to process as well I believe.’
Where do you get that info?
Everyone in my town who voted on election day used a Sharpie. My ballot was accepted by the machine, although you can’t tell how the votes were counted. There were no problems with ballot acceptance on election day in the 1 hour I was there. And there are only 2 polling sites in my town.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ll be happy to see more Trump votes. But the Sharpie thing is questionable.
On the back of the ballots are the vote slots for judges.
In fact, most of the judicial votes are on the left side of the ballot on the back. They are not on the right side which would be opposite the presidential vote. In other words, ink bleeding through from the back wouldn’t hit the presidential vote circles.
And most people don’t vote for/against judges because (1) there are so many, and (2) you have to study a lot and bring a list of preferred judges with you to remember them. Also, many people just don’t look at the back of the ballot.
