Maricopa county at its finest…

My first time ever voting in a presidential preference election and I received not one but two mail-in ballots 🫣

Thank you @stephen_richer pic.twitter.com/DSLtZK4SU9

Maricopa County, Arizona Recorder Stephen Richer, a Republican who constantly catches a lot of shit from paranoid MAGA assholes for their “election integrity” conspiracy theories, cheerfully put on his customer service hat in response to this deranged Karen’s complaining late Wednesday with “Hi Aubrey! Thanks for reaching out. You changed your voter registration on the last day of voter registration (Feb 20) from your Chandler address to your new Tempe address. Because early ballots must go out on Feb 21, your Chandler ballot was already set to go out, and so it did. Then we sent out a new ballot to your Tempe address when we processed your voter registration modification.”

“That’s why you had to redact out different lengths in the address (because they were sent to different addresses). You’ll also notice that one of packet codes ends in ’01’ (the one to your old address) and one ends in ’02’ (the one sent to your new address). As soon as the ’02’ one goes out, the ’01’ packet is dead. Meaning even if you sent it back, it wouldn’t proceed to signature verification, and it wouldn’t be opened. That’s how we prevent people from voting twice. So just use the one with your new address ending in ’02’ – that’s the only one that will work. Hope this helps!”

“Have a great night! Happy voting!” Richer concluded. He should’ve recorded a video and put on a really patronizing voice, but you can easily imagine it while reading through his response.
