PHOENIX — A judge on Thursday rejected Republican demands to immediately limit vote counts in the razor-close U.S. Senate race in Arizona and has set a hearing on the challenge affecting about 5,600 votes in the state’s most populous county.

Judge Margaret R. Mahoney said it was too soon to require Maricopa and other counties to stop contacting voters to verify signatures on mail ballots. She also declined to order the counties to temporarily separate mail ballots that have been verified by that process after Election Day.

County registrars said that would cause chaos and slow the long vote-counting process even more.

Mahoney scheduled a hearing today and indicated she would rule then.

Republican election theft FAIL.

1. Better slow,...than wrong. We won 3 more senate seats.

2. What could possibly be a valid reason to limit

a vote count?

[Roadside Attraction]

7. Republicans . .

Republicans don't need a reason, valid or not.

10. The repubs don't win if all the votes are counted

3. The only way RepubliCAN'TS can win.....

is by suppressing the Democratic vote count, one way or another. Their party is starting to die. They're losing voters every day, especially in the "retirement" states of Arizona and Florida. RepubliCANT'S have chosen to follow the tRump racist game plan, and that can never work for them in the country as a whole. Locally, yes, they can win some races, but not in the country as a whole.

Throw away your core values and follow a narcissistic racist. Sound logic there!

6. "Their party is starting to die." - FIXED.

Their party is dead.

The only reason why they manage to get elected is because they can sometimes get a chunk of independents to vote for their individual candidates or they just outright lie, cheat, suppress, or steal.

4. GOPers are just cheaters. Every. Vote. Should. Be. Counted. That's democracy.

5. I hope George W Bush is deeply embarrassed now that he can see how cheap and dirty

he looked, and how Republicans look now when they frantically attempt to enjoin the government to keep all the votes from being counted, as he did in 2000.

They only look like the sneaky, dishonest, cowardly criminals they are.

They have nothing decent people want, and they know it. There's nothing about them people want to see in their leaders.

8. The Republican Party is an archenemy of democracy and must be totally destroyed.

The Republican Party is just a evil as some of the most repressive governments and has continuously sought to destroy the free press and voting rights. The have become nothing less than a pack of wild eyed zealots on a mission of destruction of every principle upon which the nation was founded. It is a fascist regime that must be destroyed before they bring us to total ruination.
