>if the shrink to print issue happened before, why did he act so ignorant of it yesterday? and why didn't they test for it?
Testimony: Re-direct of last witness (the defense actually raised it, d'oh) was that the "shrink to fit" issue 1st occurred in Arizona's 2020 primary, then Arizona's 2020 general (he misspoke, I believe when he plugged 2022 general in here), then 2022 primary and NOW also, 2022 general.
So sudden needs for massive manual review and "adjudication" (with new ballots manually created by election workers - many more than any previous years) began with Biden / Trump 2020 and a key Senate race (McSally/Kelly 2020):
2020 General
-
Biden/Trump (presidential general) (approx 10k vote loss)
-
Mark Kelly / McSally (U.S. Senator, general) (approx. 78k vote loss)
2022 general
AZ Attorney General Hamadeh (approz500 vote loss)
AZ Gov (Keri Lake) (apprx 17K vote loss)
AZ Secretary of State (120k vote loss)
U.S. Senator from AZ (Masters v. Mark Kelly) (appox.120k loss)
The effect of the 19" image on a 20" ballet (from the local printer's "shrink to fit" command) is that the precinct and home office tabulators will reject it - necessitating a manual "duplication" (manual re-entry of the voter's selections on) a new ballet by election workers.
Brings back nightmare flashbacks of 2020 general (which Trump won!) when so many ballets were flagged for "adjudication":
Two examples of many in battleground states:
> "It's been playing out in both Fulton County, where workers had tosort through exponentially more mail-in ballots, and Gwinnett County, which had asoftware glitch that flagged an unknown number of ballots that had already been reviewed, as needing adjudication again.

.."Maricopa County's 2.1 million ballots, the subject of the Arizona Senate-ordered audit, had an 11 percent adjudication rate. Some have dubbed this an "error" rate.
When a voter tabulation machine can't read an early voting ballot for any reason, the ballot is ejected from the machine for a process called adjudication. In Maricopa County, teams of two people, a Democrat and a Republican,* examine these ballots in an effort to determine voter intent."

* NOTE: Remember AZ at that time (as now) had many No Name (even though deceased)-supporting repubs who advocated for Biden over Trump, e.g., No Name's wife and daughter and "R" Senator Mark Kelly. So this "bipartisan" group of 2 could easily be like the "bipartisan" J6 committee - where the "R"s are RINOs who favor, to the point of being unethical, if not criminals, any D over Trump.
