A witness in Kari Lake’s three-day trial testified that Maricopa County ballot curers and signature reviewers were told to leave early.
Witness Jacqueline Onigkeit claimed that ballot curers were instructed to leave early on the last day although thousands of ballots still had yet to be reviewed.
There were also incidents of ballot signatures failing to match the voter registration form.
Reporting from Just the News:
On redirect examination by [Lake's attorney] Olsen, Onigkeit was shown a Nov. 10, 2022, video of two Maricopa County signature reviewers, where one was clicking through signatures quickly and the other was taking the time to examine that signatures were accurate. Onigkeit testified that it wasn’t possible for the reviewer who was going through signatures quickly to actually conduct signature verification. ... Olsen said that there were "over 274,000 ballots approved at less than three seconds each," with one signature reviewer who approved 100% of the 26,900 signatures he reviewed.
