Election Anomalies
The following statement is made in the AZ AG's Office 2020 General Election inverstigation.
"After October 21, 2020, the number of ballots received became too large to utilize the ballot counter and the decision was made to weigh the trays containing approximately 200 ballots each.
Potential Governance Gap:
Contrary to the Green Book, it's unclear whether it was a frontline or management, but a "decision was made" to deviate from using the ballot counter as part of what appears to be an established process. This appears to be an ethical concern in that willful deviations from the process can be implemented on the fly.
