Arizona’s three largest County Primary Elections are rife with serious irregularities that have been occurring all day long, sparking even more concern for election integrity.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today on the massive voter concerns in Maricopa County.
The moment that polls opened this morning, machines weren’t working, and some voters were unable to get a ballot right away.
Across the State, worries also continue to mount over the type of pen Arizona elections workers are pushing voters to use on election day. We reported that the pens are possibly causing overvoting or vote changing.
One Maricopa County voter also told The Gateway Pundit,
When I put my ballot into the machine in Phoenix, the poll worker told me to wait for a green checkmark, but then told me to hit the red ‘return’ button and pull the ballot all the way out. When I asked if that was normal she told me that it’s been happening all day and that I needed to flip the ballot over and insert it upside-down with the blank side up. She said ‘as long as we get the green checkmark, we know it’s been read properly.’ I do not know if my upsde-down ballot was actually counted properly.
Pinal County also saw serious irregularities before and during Election Day.
In Pinal, 63,000 incorrectly printed mail-in ballots were sent out and delivered to voters just weeks before the election. The fact that this happened already proves that this election is compromised to its core.
On Election Day, Pinal County poll workers were then busted by a voter, illegally helping voters make choices on their ballots. We discovered that they were trained to do this, as well as give Republican ballots to Democratic voters.
AZGOP Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward tweeted early in the morning that Pinal County and Pima County were both having serious irregularities, including improper machine setup and voting machines jamming.
It looks like there are problems in @Pinal_Elections, too. Check on Oak Lodge location. It appears at least one machine there is improperly set up…

Getting reports that Pima County is “a mess.” Machines jamming. @PimaRecorder - what’s up with that?

What the hell is going on, Arizona?
At 3:33 pm, just hours before the polls are set to close, Ward tweeted again, indicating that Pinal and Pima Counties literally ran out of ballots. She also said that Attorneys are getting ready to take action on behalf of Republican voters. The polls close at 7 pm!
Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb told The Gateway Pundit that this is true, and it is happening in multiple Pima County voting precincts, including Saddlebrook. Multiple voters reached out to him with these concerns.
"There's truth to it. People were turned away," said Lamb.
Getting reports from Pinal & Pima that they do not have enough GOP ballots at the polling places. Great numbers of voters affected. Attorneys are working to determine how to make these disenfranchised voters whole and assure that they are able to vote. Stay tuned.

GOP National Committeeman Tyler Bowyer tweeted a report he received from Pinal, alleging that some were "unable to vote" because of this, and that the Recorder's office is "not doing anything!".

One voter commented on Tucson radio host Garret Lewis' tweet, saying that this is happening in Pinal and claiming that voters were promised ballots by 12:30 pm, but they were still out of ballots at 2 pm.
There is a shortage of ballots in Pinal County. At least 3 polling places are out of ballots. They were promised by 12:30 and it is now 2 and no ballots. There are only 5 hours left before the polls close. How do we alert the media about this problem?

It gets worse! In a fourth County, it was reported this morning that ballot receipts are not printing, and voters are receiving handwritten receipts.
Even hearing about #ElectionDay problems in LHC @mohavecounty. Receipt printer not working - getting handwritten confirmation of vote instead. People who have been registered at the same place for years being told they aren’t on the rolls so having to vote a provisional ballot.😳

ABC reported,
Several Pinal County election precincts have reportedly run out of in-person ballots during Tuesday's primary election.
According to county officials, at least 20 precincts in Pinal County have run low or run out of ballot and have requested more.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is laughing about this Pinal County debacle right now.
This. Is. Pinal.

This is a HUGE mess!
An analysis of ballot returns by party shows the ratio of Democrats voting today versus Republicans is staggering but expected.
Voting must be a great excuse to get out of work early. Biggest return hour yet from 3-4pm. Both Dems and GOP had their biggest hour. pic.twitter.com/hftHysI1Gu

What an odd coincidence that we're seeing such egregious irregularities today, of all the days to vote!
All Patriots need to vote anyway in order to overcome this fraud.
UPDATE: Kari Lake shared that you don't need to leave the polls if you haven't voted by 7. Stay in line and wait for them to sort their mess out.
URGENT:
If you are at a polling location that does not have immediately available ballots, consider asking to vote on a express voting machine.
Anyone still in line when the polls close at 7 will still be allowed to vote no matter HOW LONG it takes to sort out.
VOTE! pic.twitter.com/6WZxFGPFeA
