AZ: 8,000++ Un-Counted Votes in 2 Counties

Whether Lake and Hamadeh win or lose, there's a very serious problem in Arizona voting and its judiciary.

Arizona Republican candidates Abe Hamadeh and Kari Lake have launched new legal maneuvers to contest the November election as the state's largest county gave its most detailed explanation to date on why it did not count more than 4,800 provisional ballots cast two months ago.

Hamadeh, the GOP's attorney general nominee. on Tuesday filed a motion for a new trial after a Mohave County Superior Court judge dismissed his and the Republican National Committee's election challenge just before Christmas....

 ...While Hamedeh lost Dec. 23, he forced into public new evidence of voting problems in Pinal County...

... During Hamadeh's lawsuit, vote total discrepancies in Pinal County were not brought to the attention of the judge, nor Hamadeh's legal team, the attorney general candidate alleges....

But that's not all!

 ...Hamadeh also is raising concerns about more than 4,000 provision ballots that were not counted in Maricopa, the state's largest county.

"There are thousands of uncounted provisionals ballots. Thousands of voters were disenfranchised. Election Day in Maricopa County was a disaster. Election officials failed democracy," he alleged.

When asked about the uncounted provisional ballots, Maricopa County told Just the News on Tuesday the final total of rejected ballots was 4,849....

Maricopa officials have reasons (??)  (excuses??) for not counting the 4800++ provisionals, but given the shady "failures" of voting machinery only in Republican areas, one is entitled to doubt Maricopa's testimony.

I live in Mohave County where Abe filed his lawsuit.
It is probably one of most conservative county's in the US.
The people are mostly conservative but the "leaders" of the county are not,including the judges.
Even if the votes are counted, there is no guarantee that the election results will change.
Why? Because so many people from the West Coast are moving here and many of them bring their liberal values.
