Arizona; anatomy of a theft

The day after the election the Republican Senatorial candidate had a lead of around 18,000 votes.  After several days of continued counting the Democrat now has a lead of 22,000 votes.

Interestingly a key player in this is a big Bernie Sanders supporter who leads the vote count in Arizona's largest county.  He's being sued for breaking the law about verifying ballots.

Historically Democrat candidates tend to be able to produce just the votes they need days after the votes for their opponent have been counted; something that never happens for Republicans.

Color me stupid but that's kinda odd.
