Arizona screwed Trumps and Pennsylvania Republican plans

[Proud liberal 80]

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

1. Arizona is honored to have done so..

[kwolf68]

2. Trump campaign thinks they can get Arizona

What would lead them to this conclusion? Drugs? Or is there a there there?

4. There are still around 300,000 early ballots that were dropped off yesterday

that have not been counted.

[Proud liberal 80]

8. Wouldn't that help Biden more?

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

[StarryNite]

9. I sure hope it helps Biden.

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.

11. They're counting on a huge number of votes still to be counted.

And there are ballots being contested due to bleed through with sharpies having been provided at polling places.

17. bleed through on to where?

The other side of the paper?

[PTWB]

18. Yes.

Apparently they weren’t 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.

[StarryNite]

20. They're desperate and grabbing at straws or in this case Sharpies

Did Arizona Poll Workers Give Out Sharpies To Prevent Votes From Being Registered?
The state’s 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 doesn’t 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."

21. Let's hope so.

3. K&R, There was a woman on FAUX News who couldn't even untick PA for Trump cause she thought it

... still mattered and the EC analyst was telling her it didn't count.

It was a thing of beauty

5. Thank you Arizona😁😁😁😛😛😛

[helpisontheway]

6. I hope GA screws up their plans more. Nt

[gratuitous]

7. That's why they went bat crap crazy when Fox called Arizona for Biden

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.

10. Let's not pop the corks yet....

AZ looks likely, but the "tabulation error" leaves some doubt.

[Proud liberal 80]

12. Please explain

[Happy Hoosier]

13. According to NYT and AP....

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]

16. Whew

ok, I have been looking at CNN and they have always had it at 86% and showing the most outstanding vote in Maricopa

[Sugarcoated]

14. Yep

I figured the same last night

[Tommymac]

15. Holy Hanging Chad Batman! Reports of Sharpies given to Voters at some polling location(s)

Reportedly the ink bled through the ballots.

Have no more, maybe someone else can clarify.

[LiberalArkie]

19. I heard the Trumpers brought their own as that is what Trump uses. And Trumpo uses the big one

which would bleed through.
