Could they compare that statistic with other places? Or perhaps explain the guidelines for acceptance/rejection? I don't know that different acceptance rates for different voting methods would necessarily prove anything without context. You could (and they probably will) make up any number of reasons for that discrepancy that aren't cheating.
Just going to copy some "explanatory" replies to the tweet:
Mail-in doesn’t happen unless you are already a verified active voter.
If you vote live you start the verification process with the ID you provide.
Sounds like how it’s supposed to work doesn’t it?
Gee, it's almost like there's a deadline a few days after election day for something to happen when there's a bad signature. People who mail in have more time. But wait, I thought Maricopa County didn't do signature verification. Which one is it, Abe?!
Isn't there a mail in curing process that helped lower that mail in rejection rate?
What are you including in “rejected”? Is this early voting affidavit envelopes signatures being rejected? Is it provisionals? Both?? I assume it is not the tabulator rejections..as all of those get counted either by the central tabulators or by duplication/adjudication .
If so, it was because people generally show up to vote even if not registered. Although they are given a provisional ballot their votes won’t count if not registered. Obviously, if they’re not registered they don’t get a mail-in ballot thus not rejected. Duh!
And why are these all questions? Because nobody knows, and that's the very problem itself.
Nobody can say definitively what the result should have been except the cheaters (if they all got together and compared notes).
Typically mail-in has a national average ~1% reject rate not 0.1% so what probably happened here is Maricopa decided to pick up an extra ~10k-20k mail in ballots because those ballots heavily favored Democrats.
National average 2020 with drop-off ballot boxes: 0.78%, without: 1.09% (source although it's propaganda this number is probably correct). "This underscores the importance of this voting option"... riiight because people thinking about that drop box helps them sign their name correctly, couldn't be because mules get properly filled out ballots to drop.
