VOTERS: All legal votes will be counted. Your vote will count equally whether it is reported first, last, or somewhere in between. Thank you for participating.
CANDIDATES: All legal votes will be counted, including votes for you. If you have the most votes in the final tally, you will be elected. If you do not have the most votes, you will have lost your election.
DISINFORMATION SUPER SPREADERS: Please read Arizona election law & the elections procedures manual before asking leading questions about how something seems suspicious. There are processes + checks and balances in place to make sure every legal vote is only counted once.
SOCIAL MEDIA BOTS: Your disapproval is duly noted but your upvotes and retweets will not be part of this year’s totals. This is not meant as an affront to your robot overlords, it’s just not allowed for in Arizona law.

Here's an update 🧵 on the printer issue with some Vote Center ballots yesterday:

WHAT’S IMPORTANT: All ballots affected will be counted securely and accurately.
WHAT HAPPENED: An issue with printers impacting an estimated 17,000 ballots (or less than 7% of Election Day votes).

Some ballots could not be read by the tabulators because the printers did not produce dark enough timing marks on ballots.
WHERE: 70 Vote Centers spread out across Maricopa County.

HOW WE ADDRESSED IT: County techs adjusted printer settings at affected locations to fix the problem.

What happens after Vote Centers close their doors? An all-night process with employees and volunteers across the political spectrum working to report results and prepare early ballots requiring signature verification. 👇
Poll workers close down voting locations after 7 PM. Depending on any lines, the process can vary, with most taking anywhere from 30-60 minutes.
In-person election result data and Vote Center equipment is returned to the downtown election center, where early ballots are organized for scanning, while in-person voting results are uploaded and then reported to the results website.

From how long it takes to get all ballots counted to concerns about tabulation equipment– we anticipate false election narratives to spread in the coming days.

That's why today, we're getting ahead of it.

⬇️ a thread of election myths & facts from today's press conference:
Myth: Not having 100% of ballots counted on election night = fraud/incompetence.

Fact: The count takes time because we follow state laws, like the 5-day signature curing period. More:
Myth: Counting stops in the middle of Election Night, impacting or delaying results.

Facts: Staff/volunteers work all night under the watch of political party observers & live stream cameras as detailed below:

Looks like there’s a lot of interest in Maricopa County #elections again. Let’s take some questions and comments from the audience.
1/
It is precisely because of law and order that we don’t finish tabulation until several days after the election. Please see ARS 16-550. Or would you prefer us to tell legitimate registered voters that we’re choosing not to follow that section of the law?

On 8/3, we starting verifying signatures on 122K early ballots that were not received until Election Day. State law is pretty clear that we should make sure signatures match on these ballots before counting them as valid. So yeah, it was reasonable to prioritize that.

NEW: Special master report on @maricopavote election equipment finds no evidence of data deletion, purging, destruction of evidence, or obstruction of Senate 'audit.'
READ THE REPORT: maricopa.gov/DocumentCenter…
🧵👇
The report also confirms the county election system was not connected to internet, a long-debunked claim that Senate contractors included in their final report & which led to other false claims about the 2020 election.
While we appreciate the conclusions reached by 3 separate tech experts involved in the special master's report, it is discouraging that more people didn't listen 488 days ago when Elections Director Scott Jarrett explained all of this in a public meeting prior to canvass vote.

NEW: Chairman Gates details Maricopa County's cooperation with AG investigation and says the latest election-related subpoena is based on faulty information.
Read the full statement: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/AZMAR…
🧵👇
The "study" Senator Townsend references as grounds for her subpoena has been thoroughly discredited. It compares voter information that is supposed to be protected to unrelated documents and is in no way a viable method for comparing signatures.
Maricopa County has provided thousands of documents, data, and equipment to the Arizona Senate concerning the 2020 election, and has consistently been responsive to the AG's investigation. Cooperation is not the issue.
