The attorneys for Trump asked for the case to be dismissed because even they knew that there was no there there.

My polling station had a machine that I fed my ballot into.. It scanned it and said it was 'complete'.

I imagine if it wasn't or something was wierd it would kick it back out like a bad ATM card.

Sharpies are only good for modifying NWS charts when you are such an insecure person that you can't admit that you are wrong about something.

Sharpies work fine. Even said so on my ballot instructions.

Not when the ballots are printed offset.

Anyone here from AZ and voted on Arizona ballots? Every election ballot states you should not use markers only ball point pens. It’s been stated on ballots for decades.

It’s fkn written on the ballot! Lol idiots think it’s fake news! Lol

Arizona ballots are double sided three rows on each side around 50-100 total pen-in’s options. It’s well known here in AZ for decades that when markers are used it bleeds to the other side and the voting machines have a real hard time picking up the correct dots. Any Arizonans will confirm this.

I know this personally because I’ve used a fine sharpie on one ballot 10 years ago and had to ask for another ballot because it bleed through the other side. Idiot me didn’t see the “don’t use markers” on the top right of the ballot.
