Voting machine printer company says Maricopa Election Day report ‘inaccurate,’ seeks correction

Just The News

Aprinter company says a report by Arizona’s Maricopa County on errors at voting centers on Election Day 2022 is “factually inaccurate” and is seeking a correction from the county attorney’s office.

Ballot printer issues at more than 70 vote centers in the county on Election Day last year resulted in long lines because tabulator machines could not read some of the voters’ ballots.

The county commissioned former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to investigate the matter and write a report, which directed some of the blame on Japan-based printer company Oki Electric Industry Co.

The report, which was released in April, found that between the August primaries and the November general contest last year, the county expanded the length of ballots from 19 to 20 inches to include all of the required information for the races. more

  1. A little FYI from a former printer field technician:

    Putting 100# paper in a printer that is set up for 20# paper will result in many of the prints having “unresolved” text. Heavier paper requires the printer to increase the fuser temperature and slow down the print speed in order for the toner to completely melt and fuse to the paper. Otherwise, the toner will simply rub off toward the end of the print. Oh, it may stay in place long enough for the voter to fill it out, but it won’t stay in place while going through a high speed scanner.

    This wasn’t an unforeseen issue. I’ve seen it happen for 25 years.

  2. Random -vs- Systematic Error

    Although possible that these always fall in ways that favor the Democrat Party, The likelihood shrinks to insignificance quite quickly. It’s straight up election rigging and theft and without the Republican establishment being in on it… you do the math.
