Nearly half of all election centers in Maricopa County, Arizona experienced “printer or tabulator malfunctions” on Election Day on November 8, according to Rasmussen reports.
On Thursday, the polling company revealed that a staggering 48% of all election centers across Arizona’s most densely populated county had issues with ballot printers and tabulation machines — 28% more than had been initially reported.
“Update: New – 48% of Maricopa election centers had printer or tabulator malfunctions on election day, not the previously estimated 20%,” Rasmussen reported.

And no such widespread issues were reported during the early voting period that preceded election day and used the very same equipment. Wow. https://t.co/EEzH2LbcZs

Rasmussen Reports noted that no reports of widespread voting issues surfaced during their early voting period, which used the same equipment. Respectively, Election Day votes tend to favor Republicans.
“And no such issues were reported during the early voting period that preceded election day and used the same very equipment. Wow,” Rasmussen Reports tweeted.
Valiant News previously reported on numerous Arizonans who testify that they had experienced voting issues, irregularities, and other discrepancies on Election Day.
Some of the individuals argue that these issues caused the widespread disenfranchisement of Republican voters.
The videos of concerned Arizonans come in light of Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s highly contested election against Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, where reports of misprinted ballots and widespread voting issues surfaced as soon as the polls opened across the state.
Steve’s Testimony is just one of thousands we have received
“I have no doubt that these issues disenfranchised and turned away a lot of people”
Almost HALF of all voting centers experienced similar issues. This is unacceptable.

Hobbs, who claims victory in the gubernatorial race, just so happens to be in charge of managing Arizona’s elections as Secretary of State, and insists that it’s entirely normal for elections to seem so dysfunctional and extended.
Marley got in line before polls closed and was turned away from voting.
Countless reports of this have came in from across Maricopa

Lake was recently spotted sharing a meal with 45th President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, even as the former newswoman continues her fight for election integrity in her home state.

Lake’s visit with Trump at Mar-a-Lago coming so close after the he declared a third run for the White House in 2024 has some wondering if the two are considering an alliance heading into the next election.

Hobbs performance at just Secretary of State is pathetic and along with conflict of interest should be investigated by an unbias team to determine if she had anything to do with it. If she did she should be disqualified immediately and the election given to Lake. Just looking at her pictures she looks like a slimy cheat all the time that got caught with her hands in the cookie jar. I want to know how my Dad who died in 1971 and my mother who died in 2015 as well as her second husband were able to vote Democratic in this election since they were all conservatives and voted Republican their entire lives. Do I smell a Democratic Turd in the punch bowl?

The article is fine and great, but entirely worthless unless there is a legal remedy put in place to correct the voter issues. This should happen even if it means an entire new vote day for Maricopa County. Fix the ballot problem and let the entire county revote. Get it RIGHT.

The Dems/Comms learned long ago that the only way they could win was to cheat. Their policies are so radical that they have to lie and talk conservative during the campaign. (“I will unify the country” Joe Biden) Because if they told the truth of how they hate the country that they are looking to govern, they would never be elected.

Every time I see a photo of mousey Katie Hobbs, I see the severe look of a classic “Karen”. No way in hell Arizonans selected her over the bright, energetic Kari Lake they have known and trusted for 27 years, who ran the most picture perfect campaign of any candidate for any office in 2022.

I’m sure Kari Lake loves this tripe. But printer vs. tabulator troubles are two very different animals. Only tabulators deal with counting ballots and we don’t know from this inadequately documented story what percentage of problems regarded counting. First problem. Then we know the largest AZ county was rife with observers and malefactors who promised to subvert and alter or deny election results raising the suspicion that it’s the real story behind this superficial piece. Let’s get real news with valid and reliable data before writing. Let’s be skeptical, not hard for extremists to do, about all stories that challenge legal election procedures and attribute election breakdowns to nefarious actions of the government. We are aware of posse comitatus. We know the political right dotes on AZ elections coming out in their favor. But the world is changing to deny anti-democratic anti-election types any credence without proof. Supposition won’t cut it in the real world of counting ballots and operating balky machinery. We need sources and proof.

You’d be just as pissed as we Conservative’s are. All we (the voting American public) want is a clean and fair election. But until there are consequences to this crap we’ll continue to see this happen every election cycle. Especially in the Blue cities and states.

We have also found out that high ranking members in the Republican Party deliberately sabotaged Trump endorse candidates…and for their vile efforts, they reward themselves……

The democRAT party has, by it’s own actions, proved that they are THE GREATEST DANGER to our representative form of government. Continual lying, continual cheating, and failure to abide by the law, has shown that they do not want government by the people and for the people. It is government for the democRAT party, by the democRAT party. The military must step up and and take action to stop them. That is their duty.

These were not “malfunctions” by the printers or tabulators! They were PROGRAMMED to function just like they functioned on election day!
They were SUPPOSED to to “malfunction” to NOT count (tabulate) REPUBLICAN voters votes.
After all, the democRAT running for governor was IN CHARGE OF THE VOTING INTEGRITY of the machines.
Why were the ballots printed at the polling places instead of being printed and VERIFIED CORRECT well before voting day?!?!
