Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates Shares When The Counting Of Ballots Should Be Done.

GALLAGHER: Here is the Maricopa County Supervisor.

GATES: “People who showed up yesterday at the polling places with a valid I.D., we do require I.D. to vote in this state, if they showed up with that and they voted yesterday, that vote has already been counted or it is going to be counted. So that is the key issue. Really, the question is where those votes are going to be tabulated, either were they tabulated out at the vote center yesterday or will they be in our central count facility? So, I want to underline that. And, again, if people have instances or proof of fraud, we want to hear that. But up to this point we have not, and right now we are laser-focused on getting through this count and doing it in an accurate way. By the way, we anticipate 95 to 99 percent of the votes will be counted in Maricopa County by the end of the day this Friday.”

GALLAGHER: Oh, by the end of Friday. Good to know. Why does it take so long? How does it take them so much longer than Florida? 22 million people in Florida. 7 million people in Arizona.
