Of course it had to happen in Maricopa

When Maricopa County chairman Bill Gates and county recorder Stephen Richer say that 20 percent of the tabulators are having an issue and not processing the ballots… you’re telling me about 44 polling places have non-functioning tabulators?

Forty-four?

Or is it even more? These machines have barely been used, just in the primaries of earlier this year! The county bought them barely a year ago!

[It looks like they now have the situation settled, as the issue was with the tabulators and not the ballots. But still, this looks like a big failure on now-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’ part as well as Maricopa County’s, and a massive vindication for Kari Lake. — Ed]
