Perhaps also the Republicans should stop telling their people to wait until election day to vote.  As a result, Republican voters are subject to bad weather or machines malfunctioning, or anything else that can happen on election day.  Democrats get their votes in early, so less can go wrong for them on election day.

Look at this claim Kari Lake alleges about Maricopa County.  A machine malfunctioned when supposedly 75% of the people in line were Republicans, thereby supposedly disproportionately impacting Republicans.  But whose fault is that?  Why are Republicans waiting until election day to go vote?

Bro not a machine, 60% of the machines.  Hobbs was secretary of state and the guy running Maricopa county was running a pac against lake!  They put out a video the day before about how the machines were screwed.   


Maricopa county has a median household income of over 70 k, but their elections are run like Ecuador.  Whats the innocent benign explanation for that.  

As for the 25k, there were a lot of ballots rejected for signature verification that were then put back into the count.

But in fairness, Marty has a point.  Politics is perception.  Unless u get proof of a bag of cash going to an election official or something that clear, election challenges look whiney and petulant to the general public.  

Republicans should never have agreed to this month of early vote, vote by mail, drop box crap in the first place.  In the modern electoral landscape, the democrats are the largest political party in the country, by far.  If both bases turnout DEMS WIN.  Republican victory generally comes down to intensity vs. Moderate Ds actually voting GOP. Early voting, vote by mail, drop box, 4am vote dump etc. Mitigates the enthusiasm gap the GOP needs to win.
