Here's Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC and her guests lauding Maricopa County, Arizona – which has voting machines that don't work and takes over a week to count ballots – as a model of competency:

Here's what Mitchell had to say:

Despite what all has been said by Donald Trump and other election deniers... Maricopa County has some of the best vote counting processes because of the past problems.

And her guest:

We have a lot of practice watching the Arizona returns. We saw this in 2018, we saw this in 2020, and we're seeing it again in 2022.

Ummm...

That's not the slam dunk talking point you think it is.

Yeah, they may be taking FOREVER to count the vote now, for absolutely no reason, but they were also this sucky the last several elections, so don't worry about it.

Even if there are no shenanigans happening, this week-long process to do what other states do in a few hours is not just bad, it's inexcusable.

Everything could be on the up and up, and this would still be an embarrassment for the nation.
