What exactly are those clowns in Arizona doing looking @ the old ballots?

[Botany]

It will not change anything except for giving the Fox News watchers something to
re-enforce their already screwed up view of the world. The election is over and
Joe B. won the state, he is President and Mark Kelly is now an Arizona senator.

I hope this blows up in their faces.

Sorry for the

[EYESORE 9001]

1. Is it too much to hope

that hidden cameras are observing all attempts at skulduggery?

[Deminpenn]

11. Cameras aren't hidden, it's all available for viewing

via the webcams in the convention center or wherever they're doing the counting.

[EYESORE 9001]

14. 'Ninja' is right in their name

I expect sneaky shit like doing anything illegal out of view from the cameras in the open, hence my hope that there are more cameras in surreptitious locations.

[Deminpenn]

15. There are regular reporters in there now

and the DoJ has been asked to send in official election monitors.

[Lovie777]

2. Now they are going after Democratic senators too? . .

republicans have run out of legalities. When shithole talked about "witch hunts", oh the irony.

[malaise]

3. This shit will soon be shut down

Did you watch Rachel last night?

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Practicing/research for the next stolen election?

Trying to find a way “in”?

I have a hard time dismissing the situation as innocent or funny.

[Hugin]

16. It is neither... After the failure of their violent insurrection on 1/6.

They are giving a cold coup a try.

This is all about the NEXT election.

[mrsadm]

5. This recounting really scares me...

I fear other states start doing this, and they "find" that Trump really did win, and the entire country goes into chaos where the Republicans want the Senate to de-certify Biden. Riots may start. Ugh it's scary!

[GoCubsGo]

6. Re-enforcement is why they're doing it.

They have to keep feeding The Big Lie so that it doesn't die, even if it means going in and illegally changing ballots under the cover of secrecy, to try to flip the outcome. That, and the Arizona GOP has long been an insane asylum, full of conspiracy theorists and other lunatics, that have finally gone off the deep end.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. All they want is to make people distrust election results.

Then they have ground roots support for contesting "stolen" elections.

[Diamond_Dog]

13. ++++

[Progressive Jones]

8. This is street theater aimed at riling up the parasitic Trump base..

If they make the dopes believe the Big Lie even more, it will lead to more unrest at the monkey house.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. It's a failed Brook Brothers attempt to create chaos and controversy.

[Deminpenn]

10. Apparently trying to confirm every crackpot Qanon theory

there is. At least that's what I got from watching Maddow yesterday. She said the UV light was supposed to reveal the "hidden watermarks", but that's been a fail and isn't being done anymore. They've moved on to looking for "hidden folds" but can't recall what the potential existence of them is supposed to prove.

[underpants]

12. It's a cottage industry using birtherism as a base

People and organizations can both sell products and use this to expand their name. The one rookie who simply couldn’t accept a black President also can’t accept the white male who stopped Hilary didn’t win.

[mopinko]

17. all they have to do is "prove" the counts dont match. "proof"

if they get away w this, it will be their cloak to never accept another close election again.
we'll be hearing but, but, but arizona til the end of time.

even if we stop it now, it will be proof in the bizarrosphere that the lie is the truth.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. They are doing everything they can to destroy our Democracy

We are depending too much on the institutions to save us from this take over. The institutions have been infiltrated with traitors who create laws that undermine the democracy.

The Republicans did not succeed this time. But, the loss was not by much. They are bold and dirty, and do everything they can to take and keep power.

22. As a young kid I remember hearing this. Nikita Khrushchev said: "WE WILL BURY YOU!"

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

19. Republicans lie, cheat, and steal, at every opportunity.

They are looking for any and every possible way to use illegal or dishonest means to get rid of enough ballots so that they can claim Trump won Arizona, without getting caught doing it.

[yellowdogintexas]

20. My first question from the beginning of all this balderdash:

If the vote for president on a particular ballot is suspicious, why are votes for other Democratic winners essentially being ignored?

This applies to every single recount.

[ancianita]

21. I don't know about "exactly," but my theory is they're really data mining.

If it works and they get away with it, they can use this privatized insurgency system to distribute threats and attacks against Democratic voters in AZ and then other battleground states.

Just my opinion. But I'd never put this past them. Because they can't win on the merits, so like Rudy, they fabricate to justify the mafia style control that they think can maintain the Republicans' power.

[Hekate]

23. They'll keep "counting" until they get the answer they want. Unless stopped by a judge.

They are both dishonest and nuts.

[usaf-vet]

24. I know I hear a lot of discussion about comparing signatures. Am I the only one who thinks that.....

..... I doubt most people couldn't sign their signature EXACTLY the same every day.

I know I can't. It depends on what pen or pencil I'm using. And how rushed I am. And if its paper or card stock...and ...and...and.....

Yet another excuse to suppress the voters.
