County officials in Arizona’s largest district are once again trying to get out ahead of far-right conspiracy theories, with officials publishing a new report over the weekend reiterating that problems that occurred with their printers on Election Day didn’t violate the Arizona Constitution or prevent residents from voting.
First! Native Arizonan loving this!!!
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Is Kari having sads?
This has to frost the election officials in Maricopa county who I am told are all Republicans. It would seem that according to Kari Lake they are all in league with those barely human Democrats. 
WTF is wrong with these whiney little bastards? They were likely shunned as kids because they wouldn’t play fair, so now they’ll get even.
Personally I am tired of all the pointless theater.
You realize that in her lawsuit Kari isn’t claiming intentional fraud. Instead she is claiming accidents and unintentional delays cost her the election. Of course, she can’t point to anyone who was denied the opportunity to vote, which kind of makes her complaints meaningless, but in the lawsuit her lawyers aren’t saying that anybody did anything intentionally wrong. Apparently her lawyers want to keep their licenses. .
Yeah, crazy legal system we have. It only recognizes harms done to voters, rather than the harm (of losing) done to losers.
“a devout Republican”
Now, that’s an accurate way of putting it. It’s not a political party any more; it’s a religion.
“Thomas Liddy, division chief of Maricopa County’s Civil Services Division and a devout Republican…refuted each of these claims in his Sunday report.”
When you’ve lost G. Gordon Liddy’s kid…
In all my years of election work, it has never taken this long for Maricopa to report Election Day results. Never. Ever. Ever.

Ooh! I know! Let’s slow up everything with complaining, then say the slow results prove we were right!
Would that it were possible for these garbage suits to be tossed out immediately by the courts. However, we Libz successfully pushed for all these innumerable chokepoints and rounds of appealing, in order to help the Poor and Unrepresented (and rightly so). But now smart but unprincipaled folks on the rightwing side are taking full advantage, and democracy is suffering because of it.
There is no clarification needed. Clarification is entirely the wrong word here.
The whole event should be much more strongly worded to put this nonsense to bed once and for all.
Synonym for insist:
It’s about time these words be used when presenting such data.
For example, Maricopa officials proclaim/assert/contend/reiterate that the election was conducted fairly.
Let the Right cry in their hemlock. Stop being namby-pamby about it. There’s no clarification needed.
there can never be any unplanned and unanticipated equipment malfunctions or failures
The stoplight was broken.
evergreen article
Since you asked. . .
PHOENIX (The Borowitz Report)—The former anchorwoman Kari Lake reportedly “stormed out” of Thanksgiving dinner after losing a pitched battle over the wishbone, multiple witnesses reported.
According to those who saw the ugly scene unfold, Lake was locked in a fierce struggle over the turkey part with a rival identified by several onlookers as her nine-year-old niece Paisley.
After Lake’s attempt to win a majority of the wishbone was soundly defeated, she blasted the contest for being riddled with fraud.
“When the truth comes out, I am going to be your worst nightmare,” she reportedly told her niece.
Just prior to her angry departure from the dinner, Lake had angrily rejected a demotion to the children’s table, relatives said.
Has anyone seen and MSM bit on this crap that asks why these GOP’ers think all the errors went against them? Perhaps someone should teach the folks of AZ a bit about “mark recapture” stats. If you grab a sample of a homogeneous larger sample the smaller sub sample should breakdown very closely to the parent sample. In other words if folks were disenfranchised without bias as in a mechanical failure that affected voters of all types there’s no reason to think restoring their votes ( yes they were restored in this case ) would alter the outcome of an election.
The question is not the printer breakdown but in proving those printers discriminated against the GOP’ers disproportionately. I’ve not seen or heard a word on this.
Well then how do they explain all the contention, controversy, and anger? Are they blind?
