The day after the 2020 Election there was controversy over the use of sharpies in some Arizona locations. Now we know this occurred across the nation.
In mid-July Sharpiegate was back in the news:
After this post, a number of individuals shared that they too were handed a sharpie when voting in the 2020 Election. These messages came from all across the country: Chicago; Sun City, AZ; Upland, CA; San Diego, CA; Fountain, CA; Idaho; Nevada; and, Pennsylvania.
Some places were reporting 65% adjudication rates (65% percent of ballots were rejected by the scanners, and had to be hand counted). Remember what Stalin said about those that count the ballots.
It seems that this might have been going on all over the country, just like many of the other forms of fraud.

"In a historic shift to the left, Arizona backed Democratic challenger Joe Biden for president, making his win a target for conspiracy theories on social media.
The controversy "SharpieGate" gained national attention after a video went viral of a woman claiming she witnessed poll workers deliberately handing out Sharpies at polling locations to invalidate votes."
"And, when it announced new voting equipment earlier this year, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office said polling places would use fine tip Sharpies “because it’s the fastest drying ink and works best on the tabulation equipment.”
The recorder’s office reminded voters of that fact on Election Day, tweeting: “Did you know we use Sharpies in the Vote Centers so the ink doesn’t smudge as ballots are counted onsite? New offset columns on the ballots means bleed through won’t impact your vote!”

"As Recorder, Adrian Fontes revolutionized a broken, outdated, and unjust voting system by making elections more accessible and more secure than ever before. From day one, he immediately got to work professionalizing the operation and implementing a comprehensive plan in advance of Election Day: securing polling locations, recruiting and training poll workers, and educating voters on where, when, and how to vote."
"Arizona needs a Secretary of State like Adrian Fontes. At a time when anti-democratic forces are undermining the right to vote, fueling conspiracy theories, and undermining the public’s faith in our electoral process, administering elections fairly and competently at the state and local level is more critical than ever."

The most direct evidence that that supplying of Sharpies for optically scanned ballots was intentional fraud would be the adjudication rates for all the machines that were used election day in every county across the country. If this number is more than a fraction of 1% the machines were out of spec and illegal to use for the election. We would then need to see why they failed from the adjudication logs and digital ballot images. If these records are not provided it would indicate a criminal coverup. Until the day we get this evidence the certification of these state electors is fraudulent.

Here in PA, I believe York county was loaded with this problem during the 2020 election. I need to read on on this a little more.

"Enhances the possibility of fraud."
Guarantee's that fraud will happen.
The correct statement.

I’m pretty sure Sharpies are alcohol based which is why they dry quickly. The downside is that alcohol based markers bleed through the paper.

Oh my...whatever shall we do. Another breaking bit of nonsense to keep the clicks coming. I'm sure as part of the nation wide conspiracy to steal the vote that the devious perpetrators made sure that sharpie pens were everywhere there might be voters...:)
Next we will be told that the ballots had embedded nano particles that erased any vote for Trump and marked the square for Biden.

I see our resident 'expert' on election integrity has once again weighed in to pooh-pooh any talk of election fraud. I know I am mollified by your cogent points of logic.

Intra-State frauds like this don't happen in a vacuum, no, they require communication, coordination, and planning. The reason that's interesting is that it then becomes a Federal Felony, which requires the FBI to investigate for possible RICO violations. The fact that the FBI remains silent on the entire 2020 Election Fraud exemplifies yet again their complicity in the crime at the highest levels. If ever we needed brave patriots to step forward at the DOJ and FBI it is now. Be a Thomas Paine, be a Paul Revere, risking career and livelihood to bring TRUTH to Power.

Ballpoint pens wouldn't suffice? Please. Is there any official data documenting how many ballots were rejected by voting machines? If its 65%, they are worthless. Which is probably by design.

Just how asymmetric was the warfare used by the communists to steal the 2020 election? I don't put anything past them any more.

The oft berated Gateway Pundit has again been the best source of information on a critical vote fraud subject that has been largely ignored by almost everyone else.

I recall it was a black felt tipped pin like they have been using for years not a Sharpie. Paper was thick, felt right, this was San Diego. About 10 years ago they use touch screen machines once, but there was no paper trail so they went back to paper.

No type of fraud is too small for our Communist compatriots. Their. Welfare checks depend on electoral fraud.

#8 (usawatcher) is back trolling the posts again.
If Sharpies were used, they were bought by some public entity, and those purchases should be traceable.
The information from #2, stating specific, official, messages from the Maricopa County Recorders Office looks to be proof they indeed bought, and used, Sharpies in Arizona.
If they create a problem for the machines to count, then there is a massive problem, which needs to be clarified and corrected going forward.
If this is an issue in other States, then they too need to be corrected.
What the Left seems to be afraid of, the current administration will be viewed as illegitimate, and compromised. The DOJ seemed to indicate as much by their message yesterday.

I do apologize for questioning this latest theory about voter integrity. It is now obvious to me that that the Chinese in association with the Illuminati conspired to steal this election. They enlisted an army of dedicated subversives from all walks of life to pull off this monumental scam. Now that I have listened to the last 2 years of Alex Jones and Bannon I clearly see the error of my ways.
From now on I will read and believe anything anybody here posts as related to elections, climate change, woke people, vaccine warnings and the communists in our government.
Either way I get paid by the Soros Foundation and the CFR.....plus some of the responses here would make a great tv show or podcast....:)

#19. Why do you do this? Disagree but don’t be disagreeable. It’s not necessary.
I think most of us agree this election was tainted. We may never know how much graft there was but we need to hammer our respective election boards to be fair, honest, and transparent.

Suspicious Cat says something was going on. Especially after seeing the email from Maricopa County Elections official Kelly Dixon demanding Ballpoint pens before the election and Sharpies on election day.

#8, #19, the sharpie issue has been discussed since November 3. The combination of dripping condescension and knowing nothing just underlines what many already think of the Democrats. The loudest voices, the rudest tone, the least information.

What is a real shame come- and- take- it is that your first instinct is to silence anyone who may have a divergent opinion from your own. To even think of challenging the orthodoxy seems to heresy. Sure I think some of the fraud theories are wrong, yes I think our Congress is mostly useless anymore and NO I won't vote for Trump again....he's not the second coming like some think he is. And NO I won't go hide in a corner and not say what I think or voice my opinion even if it is not popular.

Under normal circumstances, there are two sides to every story. But, when it comes to politics and/or political issues there are three. There is what you see, what you are told about what you see (which is almost always a lie told for political expedience) and what is really going on (a specific, hidden, end result.) This formula can be applied to almost every political issue of the past 50 years from school prayer to legalized abortion to the '19 injection.
For example, regarding the use of ballot marking devices in the Arizona election there is:(1) what we see i.e. election officials distributing sharpie pens for use in republican voting districts only on election day;
(2) what we are told about what we seei.e. election officials saying sharpies are officially okay for use on paper ballots and
(3) what is really going on i.e. ballots printed on unauthorized paper which are marked with a sharpie will be kicked out of the system and sent for adjudication by the same election officials. The original vote can then be changed with NO paper trail or proof in the system of that change. Wow.
If this same story of sharpie pen distribution took place across the country then, it 'ain't' clickbait, a coincidence or an accident. Common sense and wisdom dictate that one should be open to discovering and knowing the truth regardless of who is telling it. How else can one make good decisions or protect what one values?
Bottom Line: when it comes to any issue tinged by politics, TRUTH is often delayed but, must come. If you believe in the power of prayer, ask God to raise up truth speakers, protect them and their families from harm, create unassailable platforms from which they can freely expose hidden agendas and give them the courage to reveal the truth in a timely manner so that, by knowing it, we can all make good decisons for ourselves, our families and our country.

Another piece of the larger fraud of the 2020 elections. This also came up in Arizona recently, where it was shown that use of a Sharpie causes bleed through on improper ballot paper, which the scanner then rejects. The rejected ballot has to be adjudicated by a human, which of course enhances the possibility of fraud.
