Problems with voting machines in Arizona’s Maricopa County trigger unfounded fraud claims
Washington Post ^ | November 8, 2022 | Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, Isaac Stanley-Becker and Reis Thebault

Problems with vote-counting machines at some polling locations in Maricopa County, home to more than half of Arizona’s voters, became grist for prominent right-wing voices who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election to claim without evidence that Tuesday’s vote was also fraudulent.

Tabulators at about a quarter of the 223 voting locations in the county experienced problems, county officials said. Elections officials were fixing the problems and advised voters to either wait for tabulators to come back online, go to another voting location or to drop ballots in secure slots. Ballots dropped in the slots are counted either at the end of the day or in the coming days at the county’s tabulation center in downtown Phoenix, said Megan Gilbertson, spokesperson for the county’s election department.

County officials stressed that no one was being prevented from voting and that no one’s ballot had been mishandled. They have said for weeks that ballot counting could take as many as 12 days.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is also the Democratic candidate for governor, sought to reassure voters that the technical errors were minor and would not stand in the way of ballot counting.

“Every single voter can be confident that their vote will be counted,” Hobbs said during an election afternoon stop at a polling place in south Phoenix.

Journalists narrating. They don’t report. They are full-bias propagandists now for Leftism -expanding power and control over others and destroying liberty.

They can't stop now.

Once a coup is couped, it's gotta stay couped because you knows what happens to coupers if the coupees get in office any time after.

With all the “unfounded” problems with “voting machines”, why do the morons in Arizona continue to use them? Kind of moronic if you ask me. I’m glad I left my home state and moved to Texas.

In what third-world country does a candidate run for elections while controlling the vote counting?

I know. It’s unreal. When the voting machines go to hell and Republicans are turned away from the polls without being able to vote, I’D PIN THAT ON THE BASTARD THAT WAS RUNNING THE ELECTION.

It’s incompetence. Sadly seems to be the norm is many places.

We'll see how "incompetent" the election thieves are if and when they get busted.

“They have said for weeks that ballot counting could take as many as 12 days.”


Why is this allowed to be said unchallenged? The Sec’y of State of MO has reported 100% of the state’s votes have been counted as of 9:45 this AM. MO had early absentee voting and has somehow counted every ballot. Maricopa County can’t count its votes in a week and a half?

No wonder there are ‘unfounded fraud claims’.
