Once I heard the vote count in AZ was going to go into the following week. I knew no way was the counting going to stop until a Demo won... :O :laugh:

The vote count is slowed down and extended because of all the new Republican voting rules, dummy.

You got what you wanted and now you're predictably pissed at the results of your terrible ideas.

Nonsense.

There's no Repub mandate that Dems engage in ballot harvesting.

Obviously, Katie Hobbs is in charge of the election, should have recused herself, did not, and thus Kari Lake never had any chance to win.

When the counting in Arizona is over in March of 2023, Katie Hobbs will have prevailed with 81 million spare votes.

Maggie Hassan already got 1100 votes in an area with only 700 votes, so math works well for Democrats.

Nonsense.

Ballot harvesting doesn't slow down vote tabulation, dimwit. Why the meaningless partisan red herring?

"Obviously, Katie Hobbs is in charge of the election, should have recused herself, did not, and thus Kari Lake never had any chance to win."-johnfibs

For centuries EVERY incumbent Secretary of State in America has overseen elections that they were running in and it has never been a problem. And since the Secretary of State runs the elections, the only reason to recuse oneself is if you are someone like Kari Lake who has refused to say that she would accept the election results if she lost. She is clearly unfit to run elections.


"Maggie Hassan already got 1100 votes in an area with only 700 votes, so math works well for Democrats."-johnfibs

What does New Hampshire have to do Arizona and Katie Hobbs, dimwit? Of course, Hassan DIDN'T get 1100 votes in an area with only 700 votes. There was a typo that was corrected. The town clerk typed in "1106" votes instead of "106" and then corrected it. Hassan didn't get 1100 votes in that town. You made it up.


"When the counting in Arizona is over in March of 2023, Katie Hobbs will have prevailed with 81 million spare votes."-johnfoibles

No, when the counting is over in Arizona, Katie Hobbs will have prevailed by exactly the number of votes that every Republican poll worker agrees she won legitimately. I mean, if you won't accept the counts of Republican poll workers, then who will you accept, johnny?

Arizona elections are very fair. In fact, Arizona's Republican Attorney General looking into voter fraud for the past two years found just 12 cases of voter fraud. What a colossal waste of taxpayer money since Republicans still won't accept the results even from their own party's investigator anyway.

That is not really true, particularly with regard to certifying elections (which should really be done constitutionally by state legislatures).

Take PA, where the legislature was dumb enough to give over certification authority to the Sec of State long ago, not realizing that could have been crucial in 2020 and 2022.

But it is a bipartisan observation that legislatures are lazy and give away authority foolishly like that.

Great, so you just made the case against giving certification authority to legislatures, contradicting your own assertion that legislatures should be given certification authority. (Since no partisan legislature would give up power once they had it.)

There's no end to your foolishness, is there johnny.

No, the constitutional authority rests with state legislatures.

Those who ceded it to the Sec of State in PA, whether Dem or Rep, were fools to do so.

The authority rests where it rests.

"No, the constitutional authority rests with state legislatures."-john"looneytunes"forbes

Not in my state it doesn't. The original state constitution gives that authority to the Secretary of State.

This is just one more thing that johnfibs simply made up.

Making up stupid shit is what johnforbes does.

If the Constitution of the state originally gave that authority to the Sec of State, then obviously Clown is correct regarding that state.

Where it was given over for rubber stamp purposes by a stupid legislature thinking nothing could go wrong, as in Pennsylvania, that would be another matter.

As usual, Mr Forbes made the salient points.
