Anatomy of a Stolen Election in Arizona – Does it Matter?

 

Maricopa County is the only jurisdiction in the country that picks up completed ballots at USPS Processing Distribution Center, but doesn’t bring them back to the election department or tabulation center. That is where this nasty tale begins,

 

I noticed in the clip I posted last week, that the explanation of what happened to a ballot submitted when the machines in Arizona weren’t working made no sense. Now we learn it was all part of the scam. We can only imagine that for these ballots that is exactly what happened to this poor fellow’s ballot. He and enough other ballots to turn the election.

 

 

 

 

 

Now we learn:

Gateway Pundit:

Maricopa County picks up mail-in ballots and takes them directly to its print vendor Runbeck Election Services, which is headquartered in Phoenix.

Every single completed mail-in ballot, whether mailed or dropped off at a polling place, goes to Runbeck. All mail-in ballots collected on election day, and the previous few days, are sitting at Runbeck headquarters. Maricopa has no idea how many ballots are in their possession because the ballots are at their print vendor.

Maricopa allegedly uses Runbeck because they have “high-speed scanners.” Runbeck scans the ballots in batches to create a digital image of each envelope signature area. This batch of images is given to the Maricopa tabulation center (MCTEC) for poll worker review. MCTEC notifies Runbeck if any of those signatures don’t match. Runbeck separates out those bad envelopes, then delivers both sets of these envelopes by van to MCTEC, which is 6 miles away. MCTEC then opens the envelopes and starts the tabulation process.

This “batch” process is repeated until all “mail-in” ballot envelopes are scanned at Runbeck. This takes 10-12 days after every general election, and ballots envelopes are delivered each day by Runbeck vans. Runbeck uses the Bluecrest Vantage mail processing machines to scan these ballot envelopes. This machine can process 40-50,000 ballots an hour. These machines can also automatically scan the ballot signatures using embedded commercial-grade check cashing signature software from Parascript. But Maricopa continues to use its slow manual “batch” process of reviewing signatures.

On Friday RAV reporter Ben Bergquam followed a Penske Truck from the Maricopa Election Center back to Runbeck several miles away. Once the truck arrived at Runbeck the gate was closed behind it. The fence prevents anyone from seeing inside the faciliy’s parking lot.

 

 

More of the Penske trucks at the Maricopa County elections office. Almost like history repeating itself from 2020! Is it in confidence or corruption?@RealAmVoice pic.twitter.com/T2dNfOw0b7

We keep hearing that a bevy of lawyers are on the job. Thats the GOP for us, On the job after the fact,

From one of the big cheerleaders along with Kari Lake that all will be well in the end. No one investigated this vote count process?

“Lot of armchair scapegoating around. I’m still in the field working for candidates, filing lawsuits where appropriate & working for free as a grassroots volunteer. Once all votes are counted, I’ll share my views on what we need to do to change outcomes. Till then keep fighting!”

 

 

We learn that what is happening is perfectly normal for “decades.”Of course. Warning rough language.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We pick up the another story: What caused this?

The cause of Arizona’s massive 30% machine tabulator failure is identified.  This action disproportionately affected Republicans and assured delays in counting. 

Technical expert, Dan Sundin, has homed in on the likely cause of why 30% of the tabulators in Arizona could not process the majority of Republican ballots on Election Day.

During the 2022 General Election, the election programming was set up to process 20” long ballots. This was a change from the 2020 General and the 2022 Primary ballots, which were 19” long – an inch shorter.

So when Arizona election officials say they don’t know what happened on November 8th because everything was the same as Arizona’s primary – this isn’t true.

The sample ballot pdfs published by Maricopa County and the Runbeck-printed ballots used for mail-in voting were correctly made to 20” length in the 2022 General. So there have been no problems processing Democrat-leaning, mail-in ballots.

However, the ballot-on-demand printers used for in-person voting only have 19″ trays that contain 19” ballot paper.

This means, that for in-person voting, the official ballot image had to be compressed to fit on smaller paper than it was built for.

Compression causes the ink to be a little lighter than it should be and thus affects how the tabulators read the ballot.

Maricopa County directed some voting centers to increase how dark the printing was, and this helped the problem somewhat.
