No, I don’t mean there was a train wreck in Arizona, I mean Arizona is a train wreck. Nevada too for that matter.
There is so much that is wrong with the charade. It’s basically the same charade of an election we had in 2020, but since the GOP establishment did nothing about it, and everyone wanted to “move on” and the phrase “election denier” became the hot new thing along with Ukraine we are living through it again. And our friends in Arizona will pay the highest price. But I actually do have some suggestions coming. But first, lets have a look at the illegal corrupt actions.
First an incompetent Secretary of State who is also a candidate for Governor and refused to recuse herself/itself/whatever, despite bi-partisan call to do so.
Second, only a couple of times have I seen the unlikely campaign strategy of hide in your basement and refuse to debate employed successfully. Hobbs is one of them, Beijing Biden being the other. Kari Lake had I believe over double the social media followers as the corrupt Hobbs, and far more enthusiasm for her campaign.
Now lets look at Hobbs incompetence. Much of this comes from citizens and independent media.
Expert, Dan Sundin, has honed 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?
The sample ballot pdf’s published by Maricopa County and the Runbeck-printed ballots used for mail-in voting were correctly made to to 20″ length in the 2022 General. So there have been no problems processing Democrat-leaning, mail-in ballots.
However, the ballot on demand printers used for in-person voting only have 19″ trays that contain 19″ ballot paper.
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 delay.
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 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.

Folks – please pass around on any platform you can. The LACK of doing this cost of dearly in 2020.
Lynn is correct – this is a BS system and it heavily favors Dems (because it’s THEIR system) – but we still have time to save both NV and AZ.
Here’s NV:
Nevada, make sure YOUR voice is heard in this election and check your vote status before it’s too late!
You have until TUESDAY.

2. If needed, cure your ballot: http://nvsos.gov/sos/Cure

In the long term, everyone in leadership associated with the travesty and betrayal of the citizens has got to go. The is a battle to see if the pub party can be salvaged. I’m not optimistic. Leadership never addressed and hid from the steal of 2020. They either didn’t like President Trump, or was afraid when the swamp got drained they would go down as well. As they should, what they did was deny the will of “We The People” and decide our vote didn’t matter. But the illusion of voting matters is gone. People knew the Dims would cheat, that’s how they roll, the goal was to overwhelm with our votes to make it impossible (or almost) to do so. Charade over.
Kevin McCarthy has done nothing to help our candidates, nothing. The Murder Turtle not only didn’t help our candidates, he donated money and worked against them, such as Lisa Murkowski. And Mitt’s daughter Ronna? Who on earth thought letting a Romney be in charge of the RNC was a good idea?

Does anyone remember the lettuce challenge? After Liz Truss became PM, her decisions caused many to ask the question, would Liz outlast a head of lettuce?

Well now Mitt’s daughter is facing her own challenge. Will Ronna Romney McDaniel Outlast a Head of Lettuce After Blowing Another Landslide Election?
If you aren’t aware, and are curious of the myriad of ways Ronna is a worse choice than a head of lettuce, it’s worth a few minute read for the list.
So this is the next step, first ballots, then a complete purge of the failed and feckless pub “leadership” and I think I threw up a little when I had to type “Leadership”.
An interesting, but totally unrelated story. While Israel had their election with paper ballots, hand counted, the conservative pro-Israel, pro-Israeli citizen side won, Brazil like America used the Demoncrat cheat machines. And the wildly popular President went down to convicted criminal Lula. Huh. Apparently there were SO many voter irregularities that the good citizens of Brazil question the results of the election. Go figure. However, it seems they aren’t falling in line and behaving.

The nation is on the brink of social collapse unless the military has a strong presence.
But it seems some of the courts in Brazil may be a bit corrupt. Their feckless Supreme Court has made some horrible decisions. Supreme Court Rejects Bump Stock Ban Case
Ooops, sorry! Wrong feckless supreme court, my bad.
One of the Justices, Alexandre Moraes, is a real monster. He is threatening to imprison people for protesting a rigged election.
This same judge has repeatedly ordered Bolsonaro supporters — journalists, activists, even an elected member of Congress — not just censored but even imprisoned. Even NYT asked: are neoliberal institutions becoming authoritarian to “protect democracy”?https://t.co/UpbsF2qhJU

Well, I’m sure he’ll calmly explain to the Brazilians why he is jailing protesters and journalists in the fine Demoncratic style of Zelensky who is getting billions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers.
Side note, when Demoncrats and the media say “Democracy is on the ballot. Democracy is going to die if Republicans are elected” has anyone asked them what their idea of “Democracy” is? It’s basically mob rule and tyranny, so. But back to the judge expla….oh wait, he’s gone. He’s not in Brazil now.
