Are Arizona Dems working the ground and phones hard to get provisional voters back to verify?

MANY provisional voters in AZ still to be counted. THOUSANDS of ballots still to be verified with proper ID by those provisonal voters and only have until the 14th to do it. What is going on? Are AZ Dems and their candidates' campaigns and DNC/DNCC/DSCC people in their helping? This needs to be a MASSIVE groundgame. What is going on? Elections hang in the balance here. Need to get those provisional back with proper ID and verify those votes.

(please note, Prescott is 50+ miles away and impossible to reach without a car and 3-4 hours round trip not including wait time at the courthouse. I posted this on my Facebook)

Attention All Democrats!! Please read this important announcement from the Secretary of State!!



There were 3000 provisional ballots cast in Yavapai County. If you or anyone you know voted a PROVISIONAL BALLOT, you must report to the Yavapai County Elections Office, 1015 Fair Street, no later than Wednesday, November 14, with your appropriate ID.



Ballot Processing – County Update


Phoenix, AZ – Secretary Bennett has announced that as of Thursday afternoon, there are an estimated 631,274 early and provisional ballots statewide that are yet to be processed and counted.



A state canvass to certify official election results for federal, statewide and legislative races is scheduled for Dec. 3.



Voters who cast a “conditional provisional” ballot (individuals had insufficient identification when they went to vote at a polling place) have five business days, or until the end of Wednesday, Nov. 14, to return to their county elections office with proper ID.



***Yesterday we erroneously stated the deadline for voters who cast a provisional conditional ballot to provide ID was Nov. 13. The date is actually November 14, due to Veterans Day.***
