PHOENIX — Arizona's Republican attorney general has issued an opinion saying county officials can hand-count all ballots in at least five races from the Nov. 8 election, a move that gives a green light to GOP officials in at least two counties who have been clamoring for hand counts.

The efforts to hand-count ballots are driven by unfounded concerns among some Republicans that problems with vote-counting machines or voter fraud led to former President Donald Trump's 2020 defeat.

At a fiery meeting Friday, Democratic Supervisor Ann English said she'll do everything she can to stop the county Democratic Party chair from providing those workers. "I'm OK talking about how this will be done, but all you want to do is make it not get done," Crosby said."So, I'm not interested in that discussion — I'm interested in the discussion of how it will get done."

"Judd, Crosby and Stevens are hell bent on appeasing MAGA election deniers instead of doing what's right for our county," the post continued. The opinion from Brnovich's deputy solicitor general said the county may hand-count all the ballots in as many as five races."With early voting well under way and less than two weeks from election day, these antics are doing nothing more than creating chaos and confusion around the election and tabulation of ballots, which is wildly irresponsible," a statement from Hobbs's office said.

Can you yell out Lake’s winning numbers now in those five counties. No need to go through a charade of counting ballots . Hand counts are the most secure and accurate way to get a tally. Doubtful, when the people doing the count are tainted.

WashExm’s “unfounded concerns” as it turns out we’re quite founded and moreover proved and results overturned. “Unfounded” means it never happened, but it certainly DID happen objectively. Not enough to overturn election results entirely but they did happen.
