Using a throwaway account for op-sec. I'm a regular lurker and inconsistent poster here. I'm a believer that there is some persistent Democrat election fraud in Philly, Chicago, Atlanta and a few other blue cities in the form of organized ballot harvesting in ways that are, let's say, creative. I don't think the same is structurally possible in Arizona for Democrats in volumes that would matter enough to predictably swing an election.
Maricopa, despite being a Democrat stronghold, is not THAT Democratic. There are precincts in Philly and Chicago that return 95%+ for Democrats. Arizona, you might get 70% D in certain precincts in Maricopa, and the 30% that vote R are damned proud about it. Because AZ is purple and this is the west, we like to fight about politics with our neighbors. Do you think that the Republican poll watchers in Maricopa jurisdictions will take bribes to look the other way? No, they raise holy hell about it if they get a sniff of malfeasance.
I'd go out on a limb and say that the problems in Maricopa are just normal human fuckuppery, and not some sinister ploy by Katie Hobbs and her ilk to steal the election. If you voted early on-site in any Maricopa jurisdiction, guess what. You filled out a paper ballot and stuck it in a lock box, just like the voting locations with automated tabulators are having people do today. You even used a sharpie-type marker to do it. So I think the concerns are overblown and we'll end up with Governor Kari Lake anyway.
