Maricopa County Spokesperson Admits 20,000 ‘Late’ Ballots Were Scanned Before Verification; Expert Says Likely a Crime
The Arizona Sun Times ^ | June 11, 2022 | Rachel Alexander

In an email exchange with The Arizona Sun Times this week, a Maricopa County Recorder’s office spokesperson may have unwittingly admitted that the county mishandled thousands of ballots from the 2020 general election that one watchdog groups says were accepted after the legal deadline.

Megan Gilbertson, the communications director for the Maricopa County Elections Department (MCED) – a department of the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office – said that the department processed ballots by scanning them into the tabulating machines at MCED before transferring their custody the next day to Runbeck Election Services, which verifies their legitimacy with signature verification.

She stated, “Due to the large volumes of early ballots received Election Day, we are scanning in early ballots received by 7 p.m. on Election Day well into the next morning, which is why a transfer of custody document would have a date after Election Day.”

The Sun Times shared the information from Gilbertson with an Arizona election lawyer, who said that under the state’s elections law, tabulating an unverified ballot is a crime.

The attorney pointed to three separate provisions of Arizona state law.

I didn't know so many people were horrible procrastinators like me.

They had so much time to get their ballots in, and yet somehow so many waited until the last minute.

Reverse the situation, thousands of late ballots come in for Trump, swinging the state from Biden to him and imagine the media: A somber face opens the next “60 Minutes”: “Did Donald Trump really win Arizona and the 2020 election? New information suggests he did not. Tonight, we investigate.”

Probably did, but what does it matter, if no one does anything about it?

Ducey doesn’t care and will kick the can to Brnovich.

Brnovich is running for Senate. So:

Hope to win the primary, kick the can to his replacement and forget about it.

Lose the primary and slow walk it until Nov ‘22 where it starts over again, there are new fires to put out and folks forget about this.

Either way…….NOTHING is done.

At this point folks should come to terms that there’s no getting rid of CornPop via fraudulent votes. Not gonna happen.

However……exposing the fraud and demonstrating how Mail In Votes, Drop Boxes and ballot harvesting was used to swing the election(partly), could get states to finally ban all of the above. And could possibly be a catalyst to taking a hard look and subsequently getting rid of Domnion machines.

Outright election fraud and nothing will be done about it. We live in a criminal society.

After midnight but before the inexplicable counting stoppages.

Trump led in PA by 682,000 votes (15.2%)
Trump led in GA by 311,000 votes (7.5%)
Trump led in MI by 307,000 votes (9.6%)
Trump led in WI by 128,000 votes (4.9%)
Trump led in NC by 77,000 votes (1.4%)

* Decertify Arizona
* Decertify Pennsylvania
* Decertify Georgia
* Decertify Wisconsin
* Decertify Nevada
* Decertify Michigan

* DECERTIFY BIDEN!

They seemingly assiduously waited until election day to begin counting ballots.

But when election day came, they violated the law by scanning a large number of ballots into the main tally, or, if you will, the undifferentiated “bloodstream” of votes, without first verifying that the signatures on those ballots matched those on the voter rolls.

So much for being assiduous, or following the law.

Plainly, they are hypocrites.

I doubt this news will make it to the 1/6 Democrat Infomercial and..
I guess Bill Barr doesn’t read The Sun Times.

Frankly, it doesn't matter who the votes were for, those ballots were processed illegally. In an effort to keep your TDS at the forefront, you have lost your mojo Mojo.

The red states already have election laws that are followed, blue states don’t. The blue states don’t like to follow the election laws so make up their own always in favor of the Democrat.

It matters if you're trying to say those votes changed anything.

That's why the fraud claims haven't gotten traction outside of the base. The irregularities described don't necessarily favor one candidate over another.

This article is the perfect example.

Since Trump was leading before they were counted, we know whom they favored. Even so, all that is necessary to decertify the result is doubt that the election was conducted properly and affected the result, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the wrong candidate won the stae.

No we don't. Not for any given batch of ballots.

in fact, in AZ the later votes favored Trump. Remember how the gap kept narrowing after Fox called if for Biden?

Based on your logic these "illegal" ballots favored DJT.

It was REPUBLICANS in AZ like it was in Georgia that assisted with the Big Steal.

Like the Kenyanesian Usurpation that set the stage for everything that was done to Trump, the Big Steal was bipartisan.

No honest law enforcement.

The AZ AG was in on it.
