Arizona Secretary of State speaks to concerns from recent election

Full statement is 23 minutes - Very worth watching for those interested in this topic. She appears candid and she knows they blew it...she takes responsibility.

Smug, certain in her plausible deniability, she's sure she's got it covered. It's not her fault.
She's only responsible for not doing something that isn't her job. But she wishes she had. It the legislature's fault!
Her parties legislature mind you.

It's republican land down there. They've got it all working as intended, you can count on that.
This stories going to be with us awhile.

Different things in the interview struck me.
'affected with high voter turnout'
it's the voters fault. ok gotcha.
'long detailed legal and IT reasons' and 'that bar chart will not be there next election'
Sure sounds suspicious to me. The bar chart shows 100% in early huh? But then I'm an extreme cynic when it comes to republicans. you should be too friend.

She's responsible in the sense that she feels bad other election officials did not pull it off.
PLEASE.
She was flustered by the moral question, shouldn't she have said something and responds that she now 'wishes she had said something , BUT the counties can ignore her' so oh well., their job not my job.

FUNDING 'no one said anything' oh but I been pushing. hahahahaha cry me a river Ms republican AZ SoS.

No, I don't see her being candid or taking responsibility. I see a typical lying republican complicit in election fraud, who thinks they got their ass covered.

Just my impression at seeing her demeanor. I have no impression of her other than what I've seen in these two tapes. She does appear to be taking seriously the issue with switched voter registrations - I hope that is a correct read on my part.

The situation is FUBAR. I want real action.

Issues don't matter until they affect her personally, or someone she knows personally. THEN, and only then, they suddenly become "important". Diablo
