  • Requirements to develop and launch contingency plans in certain circumstances, failure is a felony.

    Elections Procedures Manual (EPM) was to launch “Contingency Plans” if waits to vote went “significantly” over “30 minutes.” Penalty is a class 6 felony.

    Below EPM “Contingency Planning” page 169:

    –The officer in charge of elections must have a contingency plan ready to implement if wait times consistently or significantly exceed 30 minutes. The contingency plan must include, but need not be limited to, the following:

    –A transfer plan for poll workers to move from a less busy location or from a reserve staging area;

    –A plan to open alternate voting locations (including a plan to educate voters about the new location);

    –A plan to add additional e-pollbooks (if used in the county);

    — A plan to add voting/secrecy booths; and

    –A plan to add accessible voting equipment.”



  • REFUSAL TO PERFORM DUTY IS A FELONY

    AZ Statute 16-1010“Refusal by election officer to perform duty; violation of election law; classification: A person charged with performance of any duty under any law relating to elections who knowingly refuses to perform such duty, or who, in his official capacity, knowingly acts in violation of any provision of such law, is guilty of a class 6 felony unless a different punishment for such act or omission is prescribed by law.”
  • Violated requirement to conduct AZ elections with the “maximum degree of correctness, impartiality, uniformity and efficiency.”

    According to the AZ election statute, Title 16, 16-452, the duties of the AZ Secretary of State and boards of supervisors, regarding elections, include conducting elections with a “maximum degree” of “impartiality.” The statute reads:

    “After consultation with each county board of supervisors or other officer in charge of elections, the secretary of state shall prescribe rules to achieve and maintain the maximum degree of correctness, impartiality, uniformity and efficiency on the procedures for early voting and voting, and of producing, distributing, collecting, counting, tabulating and storing ballots. “

    Title 16, 16-452, reads:

    “A person who violates any rule adopted pursuant to this section is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor.”

    AZ state law 13-707 stipulates that class 2 misdemeanors may be punished by up to four months in prison.

    Polling location data shows clearly that impacted districts were overwhelmingly Republican-leaning.

     Arizona Sun Times :

  • Officials have duty to match number of polling location check-ins to number of ballots cast and post it in the Official Ballot Report. They refused to give this information. This is another felony violation of Election Procedures Manual, page 193.

  • VITAL: Disenfranchised Lake voters, witnesses, and whistleblowers MUST sign a kind of affidavit known as a “jurat” for it to be admitted as evidence in a court of law. This means signing and swearing that it is true before a notary. Otherwise a judge can simply throw them out, and they will be looking for any reason to. Information: “What is a Jurat.”
