What is happening in Arizona is the opposite of voter fraud [View all]

Conservatives alleging voter fraud in Arizona really have no clue about how elections work here.

What is slowing the process down is that each mail-in ballot goes through a vigorous signature verification process that is labor intensive and time consuming.

In addition, Maricopa County's personnel and technological limitations cap the number of ballots that can be counted to around 80,000 per day.

They are counting every single vote and counting them accurately.

Kudos to the County Recorders in both parties and the Secretary of State's Office for conducting this cumbersome counting process with professionalism and transparency.
