AZ, PA counties delay certifying election results

Officials in a rural Arizona county Monday delayed the certification of November’s midterm elections, missing the legal deadline and leading the Arizona secretary of state’s office to sue over the county’s failure to sign off on the results.

By a 2-1 vote Monday morning, the Republican majority on the Cochise County Board of Supervisors pushed back certification until Friday, citing concerns about voting machines. Because Monday was the deadline for all 15 Arizona counties to certify their results, Cochise’s action could put at risk the votes of some 47,000 county residents and could inject chaos into the election if those votes go uncounted

In Pennsylvania, where counties also faced a Monday deadline to certify their general election balloting, local officials have faced an onslaught of petitions demanding recounts. And officials in Luzerne County, in northeastern Pennsylvania, deadlocked Monday on whether to certify the results, according to multiple media reports. Election officials there did not respond to inquiries from CNN on Monday afternoon.

In a statement to CNN, officials with the Pennsylvania Department of State said they have reached out to Luzerne officials “to inquire about the board’s decision and their intended next steps.”

1. the lesson is never vote republican if you care about democracy

[Grins]

2. Cochise County. Again.

OK. If you delete ALL the county’s ballots in a Republican county, then Katie Hobbs wins by an even larger margin.

They had two years to fix any voting machine “problems” and did squat. Scratch em’ all!

6. As usual voting machines,printers and results are only suspect when a Democrat wins

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Or when the Pillow Guy says it is so.

[Attilatheblond]

11. And the GOP candidate for AZ 6 congressional seat gets flipped from winner to loser

I have to chuckle thinking about this giving McCarthy one more headache.

Also, failure to get Cochise County ballots included in the state canvas would overturn the election of a really vile man as State Superintendent of Schools. That's another squeaker race that will go to DEM candidate if Cochise County Stupidvisors persist in their coddling of Q voters fighting reality.

There is NOTHING wrong with the machines. It's the crazy people who don't accept they are a minority that is the problem.

24. So great

That would be awesome

[appmanga]

22. Not only that...

...the Democratic House candidate would also win, reducing the GOP majority by a seat.

[quakerboy]

3. So whos getting fired

If you dont do your job, you dont have a job, right?

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Maybe they should criminalize spurious recount requests, or limit who can make them?

ETA for the AZ issue - here is the money shot -

Absent this Court’s intervention, the Secretary will have no choice but to complete statewide canvass by December 8 without Cochise County’s votes included,” her lawyers added.

If votes from this Republican stronghold somehow went uncounted, it could flip two races to Democrats: the contest for state superintendent and a congressional race in which Republican Juan Ciscomani already has been projected as the winner by CNN and other outlets.

Go ahead an dick around and give Democrats that Congressional seat then.

8. FAFO

[BumRushDaShow]

9. That about sums it up

[randr]

7. These are the officials who are supposed to ensure a fair election

They have a job to do. Any problems are on them. Either they fix their system or their votes are not counted, fuck em.

[Attilatheblond]

12. The system works. All hand counted audits matched the machine counts AGAIN.

The official report on the 2020 election showed the county as completely accurate. There are always hand counted audits of samples from some precincts and those matched the machine counts again this year.

This whole kerfuffle is simply for attention, pandering to the delusional magas, and who knows what else. But it is NOT about any problems with the system.

The problem is the people who won't accept they are not the majority and the voters of AZ don't like their Q-candidates.

[randr]

14. So fuck em

If they miss their deadline count them out. Let the people in their respective districts deal with them.

[orangecrush]

16. +1

[lambchopp59]

10. In 2016 they called us "sore losers"

But methinks the MAGA's have now earned the undisputable world champion SORE LOSERS at this point.

[sdfernando]

18. Yep...they are sore mega sore losers...

but I also told people back in 2016 that they are the sorriest bunch of sore winners I've ever seen!

[bluestarone]

13. What is the actual FINAL date that they can stall this?

Is it Dec 8th? Are they all just hot air here?

[onetexan]

15. those idiots will not win this. AZ Sec of State has filed a lawsuit against them.

I'd imagine PA's Dem SS will follow suit.

[BlueIdaho]

17. If votes in those counties remain uncounted

Election results could shift to the Democrats… welcome to the unintended consequences of your idiotic moves.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. if they want recounts , the other side pays .

[honest.abe]

21. What really disturbs about this tactic is at some point it might work.

One of these might get a MAGA judge and rule in their favor.

[Trenzalore]

23. I don't know what they are doing in PA

The election wasn't even close. Total repudiation.

[The Jungle 1]

25. Which will be released first?

Trumps healthcare plan or the evidence of election fraud.
I think we will get the check from Mexico first.
This will all be dealt with when the pillow guy takes over the republican party.
