Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is running for governor, told voters to "prepare" to wait days for votes to be counted in this year's midterm elections.
Hobbs, Arizona's top election official, is facing Republican candidate Kari Lake in a closely watched race that has been deemed a toss-up for weeks leading up to Election Day.
"Every single vote matters, and every single vote counts equally — whether you voted by mail, dropped off your ballot at a secure drop box yesterday, or voted in person today," Hobbs said in a statement Tuesday evening. "We must all be patient and wait for every last vote to be counted." (Tweet)

This should never end if this crook in charge of counting votes/certifying elections ends up stealing this election. For herself! But hey, senile is running the country and stole an election too, and Hobbs stole Arizona for him. What world are we living in?

All we want here in Maricopa County is integrity.
What we have gotten from Katy Hobbs is chaos, excuses, lies and blame shifting. She will ultimately blame us.
We were told that the tabulation machines had been certified. They had not been certified. Now, we will be told that the hand count is complete and that "you all wanted a hand count! Well, you got one."
There are artifacts that are to be produced from a hand count. Chain of Custody documents that must be produced. None of this information will be made public or be audited. We will, instead, be presented with talking points from a bunch of willfully ignorant demagogue presstitutes here in Phoenix. These bottom feeders will never ever question any of the outcomes of the hand count that "we all wanted anyways."
I've lived in this county for 40 years. I have never ever seen problems with counting votes, until Katy Hobbs was elected Secretary of State in 2018. Since that time we have consistently had problems with the process of our elections.
Today, her malfeasance has caused the problems. They are entirely her fault. And she stands to gain.

How come the French could have a one day election, no mail in's, and have the results few hours after the polls closed? We have all this technology, much of it rigged, and we have to wait days. Something stinks..

France, and all of Europe, can release the results of a national election within a day because there is not one country there that conducts the vote as insanely as we do.
In France there is voting day. A voter shows up in person, presents his ID and fills in the ballot. Mail in voting was discarded in the 1970’s due to the potential risk of fraud. Absentee voting is allowed with restrictions.
The Democrats have reduced our voting to a joke and I fear all the sloppiness they have foisted on us means that soon Republicans will no longer be viable.

Supposedly they moved from paper ballot to machine for efficient counting.
Seems to me that volunteers in a locked room could do much better than days.

Continuously adding and "finding" more Dem votes no doubt along their crooked path.

Maricopa County Poll Worker
"I worked as a poll worker in Maricopa yesterday. It was a f**king disgrace. I would guess that 95% of the voters were GOP (they were carrying their GOP-provided "Golden Ticket" voter recommendations). They stood in line for 4-5 hours--many with young children--to feed their completed ballots into the tabulator machines. Every once in a while a cheer would ring out around the machines as the lucky voter's ballot was actually accepted. Voters were convinced that if they allowed their ballot to be inserted into the infamous Slot #3 it would never be counted (who knows?).
The last voter left the polling place at 10 PM whereupon we began counting the "misread," spoiled, and provisional ballots. The polling place Inspector (the head honcho) was unable to get the tabulator machines to print out the results reports (these are like a retail store's cash register roll). Once all the ballots, reports (finally), and checklist items were boxes and bagged, I volunteered to drive the ballots to an intermediary collection point. A Dem and I drove to a dark parking lot where several Maricopa County Sheriffs were on guard. The folks there transferred the ballots to a large truck and gave us both chain of custody receipts. We returned to the polling place to finish the night at 12:15 AM.
Random Thoughts: 1) the printers and tabulators were tested during the Monday 11/7 polling place set up. They all worked on Monday but immediately began failing on Tuesday morning. Anyone else wonder how that happened? 2) How did this phenomenon occur simultaneously across 20% of the voting locations on the day that was expected to be a very heavy GOP Election Day vote? 3) Why shouldn't Katie Hobbs have recused herself from the management of an election in which she had a direct personal interest? 4) Why hasn't Katie Hobbs resigned in disgrace yet this morning?
The entire election process in Maricopa County and AZ in general is a f**ked up mess. I was checking in voters all day until 7 PM and the voter rolls were dirty ("I changed my information on line, why don't you have my address?" "I registered to vote but never got a new voter registration card" "I changed all my address info at the AZ MVD (DMV) and printed out the screen shots" (but their ADOT account still showed the old information so they had to vote provisionally).
I'm presuming that the felon former Maricopa County Elections weenie Adrian Fontes will be AZ's new Secretary of State. I will certainly never again volunteer to work the elections. My career in large real time information systems implementations tells me that this mess of shiite data cleansing, process chaos has to be the way it is for a reason--a bad reason. Anyone who rolled out such an expensive, flawed, and chaotic abomination in the private sector would be fired on the spot and walked off the premises. In fact, I may just resign as a GOP precinct committeeman and reclaim hundreds of hours of my personal time. America has spoken. My fellow Americans are fine with what the Dems and RINOs have served up for the past six years--and especially the last two. The saying, "You can't cheat an honest man" comes to my mind this morning. The fact that the brain dead and deeply corrupt are still running the country tells me all I need to know about my fellow Americans--and the future."
