Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates explains how voters"were afraid to put their ballot in box 3 because of what the leaders of their party had told them."Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates admitted that tens of thousands of early ballots dropped off on Election Day were mishandled when he said during a CNN interview, “We do not know where these are from.”False.
“So Maricopa County election officials are admitting they don’t have a legitimate chain of custody for at least 75,000 ballots,” a Twitter user wrote in a tweet Saturday that was shared over 3,000 times. “This election needs to be fully audited and investigated, no matter the outcome. If there aren’t consequences, this will only get worse.”But these posts misrepresent Gates’ comments.
Almost all of Arizona’s vote happens by mail, although some voters cast their ballots in-person at voting centers. Election officials then release their vote totals in batches. “While the chairman doesn’t know where every batch of ballots came from, our elections workers can account for all of them through documentation and chain of custody,” he wrote.
And this is a surprise?
No they weren't. Anonymous sources told me.
