My apologies to friends around the nation concerning the slow tallying of Arizona’s vote. We are traditionally a Red state and the legislature makes the rules for voting and counting. All Arizonans love the convenience of early voting. (One of our Secretary of State candidates would end that even though he uses it himself.) The Republican legislature finally allowed counting early ballots “early” 2 years ago. This was a great help in the tally, but the law allows Arizonans to bring in their early ballots as late as election day. This surge of ballots is what is now slowing the count, but not as badly as before. Two other problems in getting the vote counted are looming. First, the Legislature has increased the margins for recounts. It is much more likely that a not so close race will require a recount. This can take weeks due to the need to test and recheck the equipment and run all those ballots back through. Here in Cochise County, 2 Supervisors keep calling for a hand count no matter the margin. This would be incredibly time-consuming. (Does anyone remember the Cyber Ninja’s 2020 recount of Maricopa County’s ballots and how many months it took to get slightly less accurate results?) Once the races are counted, you can also expect lawsuits galore. This is, after all Arizona. Goldberg sues Osbourne here. Four of the top GOP candidatures are election deniers. One is a January 6 participant and Oath Keeper. Democracy can be messy, but with these kind of nutcases poisoning the well, we just have to stay calm. They will, as before, lose any court challenges they make. Please be patient unless you are a state’s rights advocate from another state. In that case, you have forfeited any right to meddle in our affairs. Thanks.
