Keep chasing that rainbow I guess.

Uh, it actually did though. Did you even read it?

The headlines were "AZ Audit hand recount is consistent with election day count", which sounds dandy but is extremely misleading.

The audit revealed that thousands of ballots were either filled out incorrectly, and thus should have been disqualified, or were cast illegally (people who had either moved out of Maricopa county or Arizona entirely, yet still cast votes there. You can't do that).

So yes, if you count all those illegal votes by hand, it will be about the same as a machine counting all those illegal votes. Do you get it?

Again, that doesn't mean that Trump should have won, but to argue that there was no fraud, or especially that it was "The most secure election ever (TM)" is just absurd.

Thank you for observing the holiday

I also think you're allowed to cure ballots, so the first column is wrong too.

Yikes.

What? Yes of course you can count ballots after election day, that's not the issue. The issue is that some (thousands of) ballots should have been disqualified and weren't.

That's the first order question: Does this ballot satisfy the rules? If it does, cure away, it's a valid ballot. Many ballots were counted that were not valid though, which the audit revealed.

I mean, what do you think the odds are that the count was perfect? Every legitimate ballot was counted, and every illegitimate ballot wasn't? The odds of that are essentially zero, for any election.

Curing means fixing and counting ballots that were filled out improperly. Hth

Haha yes, and also ballots that weren't counted until after the deadline. But they aren't just fixing ballots that were filled out improperly. In most cases, if a ballot is filled out improperly (like you fill in two circles sorta, cause your eyesight sucks) it's not counted, because they can't depend on the biases of the poll worker to determine who the person actually intended to vote for.

You not knowing something does not make it illegal. Your argument is rump.

When they have someone worth voting FOR ill cast a ballot. Every President since Reagan has been an utter disaster.

Oh and if you really wanna defund the police, just legalize all drugs across the board. Courthouses would become nearly empty across the nation.

We can't have that now, can we? Land of the free, home of the brave: gotta keep them courthouses packed.
