Why the counting is taking so long in Maricopa county.

Voter behavior and election rules contribute to slower counting in Arizona

At first I thought that it might have to do with the voting machines that the Fruit, I mean Cyber Ninjas compromised in the last election. It turns out that is not the case:

"
"It's typical for Maricopa County to see about 180,000 ballots be turned in on Election Day," she says. "When I was there for that decade that was kind of the standard number."

This year, though, local election officials reported a whopping 290,000 ballots were dropped off at polling locations on Election Day.

"

They are not sure if it is because people did not trust the mail, or the armed vigilantes around drop boxes or another cause. At any rate they had a ton of ballots that they were not prepared for this year.

It's part of the Dem's plot to steal the election.
Duh!

I don't know why but I keep conflating the Cyber Ninjas with the Fruit Ninjas. They did such a poor job of recounting the votes in Maricopa county, not that they got it wrong, but the the havoc they left behind. There were certainly missing the "ninj" factor in their work. It could be seen that some incompetents had gone through everything.

There seems to be quite a bit of similarity.

They haven't hit the number of the day yet...

Good info..

I still don't understand why it would take 3 days to count 290,000 ballots. There are 21,000,000 people in Florida and about 8,000,000 in Arizona. What gives? Maybe if they had 99% counted by now it wouldn't be such an issue.

It takes a lot of time looking for excuses to reject them.

Read the article. The system is a bit archaic. For example all envelopes have to be opened by hand. Not just the extra mail in ballots from Maricopa county, but from all of Arizona. They could use a bit of automation.
