This is both rage bait and a lie. The intended address is 77 S Washington St, Seattle, which is the address for the Compass Housing Alliance. One of its services is to provide people experiencing homelessness with a mailing address. Washington law allows this for registration.
BREAKING confirmed by
@SecretaryHobbs
office. A complaint has been filed with the AG and DOJ for voter intimidation. It happened Monday at the Mesa drop box location when a voter said they were approached and followed by a group of individuals.
JUST IN: Mohave County has voted to delay certification of election results until Nov. 28. BOS member says it is a political statement of solidarity with other counties that have delayed certification.
Now that the major races are called I'm ending batch coverage of Arizona's 2022 general. I'm grateful for all that followed along.
It was so much fun I think we will do it again in two years.
@abc15
Apache county just posted 2,223 ballots. Breakdown:
Biden: 1,805(81.2%)
Trump: 396 (17.8%)
This county encompasses the Navajo Nation. Trump now trails Biden 57,844
A brief PSA:
You don't have to like that Arizona will take about a week to finish counting the early vote drop offs.
It is a function of statute. So next week, please think before suggesting on here it is due to incompetence or fraud.
It is neither.
I always like to remind myself that no matter what is being argued about on political Twitter it's the type of person that would click on this article that ultimately decides election outcomes.
ET has learned that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's parents are expected to meet for the first time at Monday's Kansas City game, where the Chiefs and Eagles are scheduled to face off.
78k ballots posted to Maricopa.

That'll do it. Arizona will stay in the Biden column.
All ballots have been counted in
@maricopacounty
for the November General Election. With more than 2 million ballots cast, more Maricopa County voters participated in this election than ever before. Watch the last nine ballots being counted below. .
I am hearing there will be a significant discrepancy in favor of
@AbrahamHamadeh
in the recount results under seal until tomorrow morning. I'm told that the discrepancy will bring the race much closer.
Discrepancy is not from Maricopa or Pima.
Not that I want to rain on anyone's party. But a reminder that based on the affidavit transmission party data we still have some very, very friendly batches coming for R slate in Maricopa. Almost certainly not friendly enough for Masters.
Lake and Hamadeh are very much in this.
I don't know, that last Maricopa incoming sure felt like it had a lot of closure attached to it. I'm thinking it might be time to exit stage right (or left, whatever), pop open the Scotch, and hang with the family
Thanks all. It's been fun. Now please take me off notification 😉
Several sources confirm to me that yesterday, several key members of the
@KariLake
campaign left the war room. I'm told they (those that left) saw no viable path once the race was called.
With the total number of GOP votes in, combined with what is left outstanding it is a near certainty at this point that Republicans will smash turnout records for a primary.
JUST IN:
@January6thCmte
committee deposition of
@kelliwardaz
is out. She responded to every question with an invocation of the 5th amendment. Here are four pages.
According to
@nytimes
results page,
@KariLake
outperformed Trump in Yuma county by 7 points. This is a real world indicator of Hispanic R vote shift due to the county's demos.
JUST IN:
@GeneralBrnovich
Concludes investigation into 2020 dead voters.
"Some were so absurd at names and birth dates did not match the deceased."
"Many were very surprised to learn that they were allegedly deceased."
This letter is brutal.
I can't do my magic until the results hit the AZSOS page. They're not there yet. But it's clear that the 62k ballots dropped in Maricopa were friendly to the D candidates.
Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation is running for Congress in
#az02
. It's a double digit R seat, but Nez is as strong a candidate as Ds could have.
I’m running to represent
#AZ02
in the U.S. House!
Arizonans deserve leaders in Congress who work for them, not extremists trying to score political points—I'll always put rural AZ before DC politics.
Help support my campaign by chipping in here:

More armed watchers at the Mesa drop box this evening. Photo taken by someone that went to watch the watchers.
@mcsoaz
came over to ask everyone to get out of each other's personal space.
Maricopa County has posted final results. The last batch was 1,372 ballots that broke 63/37 for the R slate.
@AbrahamHamadeh
net 340 votes. He will go into the automatic recount trailing
@krismayes
by 510.
All counties are count complete.
VOTE COUNT: Maricopa County confirms to me that ALL early ballots dropped off on Election Day have been counted. 🗳
Only outstanding ballots would be left, those requiring manual attention (adjudication, provisionals)
@Garrett_Archer
Getting this in now:
State...UNOFFICIAL results have Biden and Trump separated by 4,202 votes right now.
This morning it was 10,377. The difference?
A faulty upload from Greenlee county.
They show 22,110 votes. Should be 3,723

Take a bow. You earned it.
Good morning. Registered independents running for office in AZ have a much higher signature gathering threshold. (About 45k minimum statewide in 2022).
Benefit is you don't need to run in a primary.
Seems important today for some reason.
Bottom line:
@GeneralBrnovich
investigators spent 10,000 hours looking into the 2020 election.
They were unable to find anything.
Two years.
Hundreds of people making statements millions now believe.
It came to nothing.
This is also big. The next batch of 114k late early drop-offs that were transmitted to the elections department will break in favor of
@KariLake
.
Important note: We do not know when these ballots will be tabulated, but the GOP cavalry is coming.
AZSOS still not showing Maricopa results so here is the batch manually for Governor.
