Storm causes water leaks in building where Maricopa County ballots are being reviewed

[orleans]

Water was leaking from the metal roof of the state fairgrounds building where the review of Maricopa County's 2020 election ballots was continuing during Friday afternoon's thunderstorm.

Workers quickly moved ballot boxes away from the leaks inside the Wesley Bolin Building as the rain poured outside.

Randy Pullen, representing the Arizona Senate Republicans who ordered the election review, said no ballots were damaged and they are protected from the leaks. Workers covered boxes with tarps to protect them, he said.

"No ballots are at risk," he said.

The Bolin building is a non-air conditioned exhibit hall at the south side of the fairgrounds property near the cattle barns. It is normally used for tradeshows.

The ballot review moved to the building earlier this month after the Senate's lease at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, also on the fairgrounds property, ended. The months-long review of the election began on April 23 and has stretched long past its initial end date of May 14.

Pullen said he was there Friday as the leaks began and called the fairgrounds management for repairs.

He said there were four leaks above where the work was taking place and leaks in other parts of the building. He said it would be an easy fix because the leaks were coming from specific places in ducts on the ceiling.

here's my question:
how many fucking months does it take to stare at a ballot, think about a ballot, take the ballot out to dinner and strike up a conversation with the ballot, send the ballot flowers the next day & decide to wait a couple days before calling the ballot and asking it to go out with you again BEFORE YOU FIGURE OUT THE VOTES ON THE DAMN BALLOT????? (are they counting these ballots or attempting to marry them?)

1. This is a catastrophe that is both a comedy and a tragedy. Summon Dante, give Aeschylus a call...

We all know these jokers will never be done until they manufacture the results they want or destroy the ballots or both.

If we’re lucky though, this great rainstorm will simply wash everything away in a flood of Biblical proportions.

2. No sh*t, sherlock!

3. Trump visits Arizona.....

The same time torrential rains hit the state and possibly spoil all those ballots?

COINCIDENCE???

I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

4. The purpose of the audit is not to find fraud. It goes exactly like the search for WMDs in Iraq:

The purpose of the audit is to keep indefinitely the talking-point alive that the Republicans will ANY MINUTE now find evidence of fraud.

"We invaded Iraq because of WMDs. And we will find them any minute now."

5. And it's a good way to fleece the rubes.

6. Clearly those guys are being paid by the hour.

7. I would think the lack of air conditioning would also be a problem

I know Arizona isn't humid and all that but still. Also, are we to believe they are counting the ballots in an un air conditioned building in Arizona at the height of the summer.

8. Moisture has already ruined several of the exclusive Cyber Ninny

MarkIV Atomic Ultra-Dechromaton Parsonizing Squitt-Enabled Superducing Molecular Bamboo Detector and Salad-Shooter machines also in the building.

Now they have no choice but to start over from the beginning.

9. Maybe Arizona should start construction on a special building for the ninjas to work in.

A nice permanent structure, with a cafeteria.

I suspect they are going to be there for a long time.
