In 2020 citizens grumbled that they were offered Sharpie markers to complete their tallies on election day.
The day after the 2020 Election there was debate over using sharpies in some Arizona places. Later on we found this happened throughout the country.
In mid-July Sharpiegate was back in the news:
After this post, a variety of people shared that they too were handed a sharpie when enacting the 2020 Election. These messages originated from all throughout the nation: Chicago; Sun City, AZ; Upland, CA; San Diego, CA; Fountain, CA; Idaho; Nevada; and, Pennsylvania.
Then we found precisely how sharpies were utilized in the 2020 Election– deliberately to disquality Trump citizens.
The Gateway Pundit got e-mails from more readers who had this occur throughout the nation.
Then in July 2021 an e-mail was launched at a county conference by Maricopa County Elections Assistant Director Kelly Dixon.
In the e-mail dated October 22, 2020, Dixon composes to alert election clerks that they need to release ballpoint pens every day prior to Election Day.
Then …
” We NEED to utilize markers on Election Day,” she composes.
Why did they just utilize markers on Election Day?
Trump advocates enacted frustrating numbers on Election Day, personally, due to the issues about mail-in tally scams. It looks like they took the needed steps to reduce these votes.
Jennifer Asper shared a picture of this letter on Twitter, initially shared by Garret Lewis and swept under the carpet by the media.
Lewis: CAUGHT! Maricopa County Elections Worker Kelly Dixon bought her personnel to utilize ballpoint pens for early ballot from 10/23-11/ 2. They NEED to utilize markers on Election Day.
Why? The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors require to see this and require a complete audit. RT and share!
Asper: Busted! They understood most Trump citizens would wait to vote on Election Day. #SharpieGate

The Gateway Pundit reported 2 days after the election that Arizona tally guidelines check out, “Do NOT utilize a sharpie type pen as it will bleed through.”
And then we discovered why this was taking place.
Fast forward to today.
The Gateway Pundit is getting many e-mails today from throughout the nation that election authorities are handing our Sharpie pens to election day citizens.

Eric in Chicago: Last year, for the very first time, I was offered a sharpie to submit my tally rather of a ballpoint. I reside on Chicago’s North Side. I revealed issue that it would bleed through and they informed me it would not be an issue. It did bleed through terribly.
This year I brought my own ballpoint pen with me simply in case. When once again they offered me a sharpie however I didn’t utilize it.
It might be incompetence, or it might be absolutely nothing. I question: If the choices bleed through the tally could it perhaps provide them a reason to decline the tally if they do not like the prospects picked on it?

SO Appreciate your work Gateway Pundit!

I talked to election authorities where I simply voted and they called the Crow Wing County head workplace and all stated the pens are authorized and the devices will count my vote. Keep in mind: Our signatures for individual recognition were made with black ballpoint pens and these pens were deliberately separated from the pens in concern.
