Maybe a dumb question here on Arizona recount fiasco

[bluestarone]

Could a GROUP of voters from Arizona, go to court to STOP this asshole co. from touching THEIR ballot? I'm thinking when i vote, that IS MY BALLOT!

1. if this "audit" declares the election invalid

that should include the state legislators who won their seats in an election they think is fraudulent.,

3. I'm sure they are NOT trying to over turn this election. (impossible to do that) BUT

Their plan is to continue in OTHER QTHUGLICON controlled legislature states, just to CONTIN UE with the LIES!! I'm thinking resident VOTERS could file in court to STOP these yahoos from touching their ballots!

4. Doubtful. Once you turn it in, it's not really yours any more...

it belongs to the state, managed by the state election board. Now, I think a good case could be made that the state election board in AZ has mishandled the ballots by turning them over to the fraudit. That seems like a more plausible tactic.

Once turned over to a 3rd party, it would seem to me that anything going forward would be invalid because chain of custody had been violated. That's like a prosecutor handing all physical evidence over to the defense team before trial, with no supervision or monitoring. Anything the fraudit comes up with might be good conspiracy theorist fodder, but shouldn't have any legal standing.

7. Ok, so how could WE go after the State election board?

Again i'm thinking a group of Arizona voters could go after them somehow?

8. IIRC there is already a lawsuit in progress...

perhaps you could look into supporting that. Not my home state, so my interest is more general in nature. What the frauditors are doing undermines democracy nation-wide.

I'm no expert, though, so if you want to get a group together, you should look into it. Check your local Indivisible chapter, maybe.

5. Are they using Smartmatic machines?

or are they hand counting every ballot? Allowing this to happen in the first place is a horrible joke that isn't funny.

I'm guessing that they are hand counting because I doubt they have the balls to blame the machines.

6. I was thinking the same thing..makes me sick to think these disgusting animals are messin' with my

ballot..Class Action suit??..I have been thinking about it..perhaps, becz this is such a sham..the choice is being made to counter with funding the GOTV efforts..educate, register, vote..

Rusty Bowers did make a statement about the audit..

"

No election is perfect, and if there were evidence of illegal votes or an improper count, then Arizona law provides a process to contest the election: a lawsuit under state law. But the law does not authorize the Legislature to reverse the results of an election."

They've been at it for at least a week or more.
