They figured everything would come down to Pennsylvania and they would win at the SCOTUS or have the state's legislature appoint the electors.

(4,167 posts)I hope so...But it is funny how they want those counted, but not the ones in Pennsylvania.

(9,434 posts)My concern is the tRump humpers who held off dropping their early ballots off until yesterday. tRump and his adult sperm cells spent a lot of time here with their superspreader rallies. They must have thought it would pay off. The tRump humpers were all ramped up here in the valley. They had huge caravans in support of the orange dictator.

Apparently they werent scanning and some portion of votes from in person voting are being contested. The internet is making it sound widespread but no one really has posted any numbers yet. It could be a handful or it could be a significant number.

(9,434 posts)Did Arizona Poll Workers Give Out Sharpies To Prevent Votes From Being Registered?
The states tabulating machines can read Sharpie ink just fine.
"Local media reported that a spokeswoman for Maricopa County Elections Department said that the tabulating machines can, in fact, read Sharpie ink just fine. Maricopa County even tweeted earlier on Election Day that we use Sharpies in the Vote Centers so the ink doesnt smudge as ballots are counted onsite. The tweet also mentions that Arizona ballots are offset to prevent possible bleed-through of ink interfering with bubbles on the other side. In an interview with a local Fox affiliate, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs affirmed that ballots filled out with Sharpies are being counted: "I can assure voters that nobody in a polling place, a trained employed polling place worker is not going to give you a pen to mark your ballot that is going to invalidate your ballot."

(82,849 posts)They had their cheats all lined up and ready to go, but missing Arizona brought the rickety structure down. If Pennsylvania doesn't matter, they won't waste time challenging the final count there, and be reduced to whining about how unfair everything is for Republicans.

(7,210 posts)There was a "tabulation error" at the reporting agency. They showed 97% reporting, but it's only 86%. Mostly from Maricopa (favoring Biden), and some suburb that's Trump leaning North of Phoenix.
Biden SHOULD be okay unless the remaining vote is much more favorable to Trump.
Proud liberal 80
(4,167 posts)ok, I have been looking at CNN and they have always had it at 86% and showing the most outstanding vote in Maricopa
