Group challenges restrictions in Arizona election manual on ballot drop-off locations

Gimmesometruth said:
On 13 October, Fuentes, a 66-year-old grandmother, former farm worker, school board member, and local Democratic leader, was sentenced to one month in jail and two years of probation for collecting four completed mail ballots that belonged to community members during the August 2020 primary.

Brnovich was a complete and total asshole for wasting the states monies for FOUR ballots in a PRIMARY race. His grandstanding didn't win him a Senate seat.

That's all she was convicted of...there is no guarantee that's all she did.

She got a slap on the wrist.

GOP organizations sue Arizona's top election official in latest dispute over election manual

National and local GOP groups in Arizona have sued the secretary of state in an effort to invalidate or adjust a manual used for conducting elections.

This is the site of the org which brought the complaint: https://azfree.org/
Their page on this action: https://azfree.org/blog/2024/02/16/...-for-his-illegal-elections-procedures-manual/

Edit: There's more, but this is one of their contentions:



Edit 2: As best I can tell from reading that last URL I posted, they're suing the Arizona Secretary of State because they don't like various provisions in the Election Procedures Manual.
Even though some of them appear to match what a federal judge ordered be the rules during the 2023 election? I remember reading about that somewhere.

They're upset that the EPM doesn't allow anyone to stay within 75 feet of a ballot drop box to monitor it, can't follow people delivering ballots, and can't speak to them either - if they're within 75 feet of the drop box.

Edit 3: This is the legal document in question, as hosted on their site: https://azfree.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/EPM-Complaint-FINAL-AS-FILED-02.09.2024.pdf

Seems to me the solution is to put folks closer to the ballot box than the trumptards and talk to them incessantly, in shifts. Exercise the very rights they demand.

And film every minute.

An individual cannot interfere with another individuals free speech. Only the state can do that. The trumpanzees need to be reminded of that until they understand. In person. While trying to intimidate/interfere with people trying to vote.

It’ll be great tv!

You didn't watch the videos, did you?

A lady...who works in the elections office, btw...has a sack full of ballots and she goes to the drop box three times dropping off multiple ballots over two days. Then she has a co-worker go outside and drop off another stack of ballots while she watches. (she thought she was out of sight LOL!!)

And you think that was someone dropping off ballots for "caregivers, family members or household members". Don't be ridiculous.

Inorite?

There’s only like four people in the whole country who can’t get to a polling place after all.

All those other elderly and invalids are just faking it.

Oh gosh, this is really some deep state shit right here. I watched the videos, and I feel sorry for those poor people you all are filming and targeting. For all you know she could be a caregiver dropping off all the seniors ballots, which would be a kind thing to do. Why do you all keep hurting people in your quest for this conspiracy? Is it really worth it? It's done nothing to help your man Trump.

The sweeping review was completed last year after politicians and other conspiracy theorists aligned with former President Donald J. Trump inundated Mr. Brnovich’s office with election falsehoods. They claimed baselessly that large numbers of people had voted twice; that ballots had been sent to dead people; and that ballots with traces of bamboo had been flown in from Korea and filled out in advance for Joseph R. Biden Jr., who won Arizona by a little over 10,000 votes.
But investigators discredited these claims, according to a report on their findings that was withheld by Mr. Brnovich. (The Washington Post reported earlier on the findings.)

LOL!!

Do you know who did the filming? Hint: It wasn't me.

Actually, those videos are from the election system's own cameras. They have to have video surveillance by law.

But tell me...did anybody ask all those people where those ballots came from? Did they follow up and see if that person works at a care facility? Hint: No.

Actually, the only one that was investigated and dealt with was the one where it was Democrats stuffing ballot boxes so their Democrat opponents wouldn't win their primary.

You're in deep and I sort of just feel sorry for you now.
 
National Republicans are attempting a shift to embrace mail-in and early voting to match what’s been a Democratic advantage in recent years.

But interviews with nearly 20 Republican officials and voters across the country say there is lingering, and sometimes fierce, resistance to the idea — from Trump on down. The schism signals potential peril for the party in the fall if it once again fails to match Democrats’ on-the-ground ballot organization.

It starts at the top. As the leader of the Republican Party, Trump has used his position to blast, without evidence, mail-in voting as a Trojan horse for widespread voter fraud. In the process, the former president has eroded trust in a method that was once widely embraced by many people in his party, putting Republicans at a disadvantage against Democrats.
