Arizona GOP Accuses County Recorder of Destroying Evidence as Votes Counted in Tight Senate Race

Town Hall: The chairman of the Arizona Republican party Jonathan Lines accused Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes of destroying evidence Friday by not separating ballots from “emergency voting centers” which state Republicans are challenging as the vote count is ongoing in the tight Senate race between Rep. Martha McSally (R) and Democratic candidate Krysten Sinema.

In a Sunday letter, the GOP wrote to all of the recorders that “state law does not allow recorders to offer early voting after the Friday prior to Election Day except in specifically-defined emergency situations.”

However, “the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office offered ’emergency voting’ from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Monday for voters who could not make it to the polls on Election Day,” according to the Arizona Republic. “The Recorder’s Office said it allowed voters to determine what constitutes an emergency.”

The GOP asked Fontes and other recorders to “identify and segregate” the ballots cast at emergency voting centers, thought to be about 3,000 in Maricopa County.

Lines says Fontes ignored their request and mixed the ballots.  more here

  1. I think the Dem’s chose at least 3 places to emminate from and Control many years ago, and I am just now seeing it more clearly. Arizona California Georgia cover the South, and because of McCain I didn’t see it.

  2. McCain never cheated us in Arizona. Didn’t need to. He hoodwinked us …… What’s happening right now; that’s cheating

    I started smelling a rat late Tuesday night when Fox kept reporting only 74% of precincts reporting when everywhere else it was 99% Things are going on that have never happened before
