Officials in Maricopa County are still counting votes from last Tuesday’s midterm election — and the results of several races still hang in the balance — but they took a few minutes on Saturday to lash out at everyone from the voters and the candidates to bots and “disinformation super spreaders.”

The brief Twitter thread essentially informed everyone that every vote would be counted, counted only once, and then announced when the count was determined to be accurate — and not a second before.

“VOTERS: All legal votes will be counted. Your vote will count equally whether it is reported first, last, or somewhere in between. Thank you for participating,” the thread began.

CANDIDATES: All legal votes will be counted, including votes for you. If you have the most votes in the final tally, you will be elected. If you do not have the most votes, you will have lost your election.

“CANDIDATES: All legal votes will be counted, including votes for you,” it continued. “If you have the most votes in the final tally, you will be elected. If you do not have the most votes, you will have lost your election.”

Turning then to address the social media response to their protracted counting process, the thread continued: “DISINFORMATION SUPER SPREADERS: Please read Arizona election law & the elections procedures manual before asking leading questions about how something seems suspicious. There are processes + checks and balances in place to make sure every legal vote is only counted once.”

SOCIAL MEDIA BOTS: Your disapproval is duly noted but your upvotes and retweets will not be part of this year’s totals. This is not meant as an affront to your robot overlords, it’s just not allowed for in Arizona law.

“SOCIAL MEDIA BOTS: Your disapproval is duly noted but your upvotes and retweets will not be part of this year’s totals. This is not meant as an affront to your robot overlords, it’s just not allowed for in Arizona law,” the thread concluded.

Not everyone was buying the official story, however. One critic tweeted, “Maricopa County is using words like ‘disinformation superspreaders’ and calling everyone who challenges them ‘bots.’ This is textbook partisan language from people who are in a position that requires neutrality.”

Maricopa County has been under scrutiny since before Election Day, when a number of federal-only ballots were sent out to voters who should have received full ballots. Things only got worse on Tuesday when some of the polling place tabulation machines failed to function properly right from the start. Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters (R) — who ultimately lost to Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) — then alleged ballots that had not yet been counted may have gotten mixed in with ballots that had already been passed through the functioning tabulation machines.

At the heart of the scrutiny is Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs — whose race is among those that are still too close to call — because, as the sitting Secretary of State, she is Arizona’s top election official.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Sunday that midterm victories belonged to President Biden and added that he put candidates in a position to "talk about what Democrats fight for."

NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd asked Warren if she was concerned that Democrats might not be able to win against "normal Republicans" after noting that NBC exit polling showed Republicans were favored on every issue except for abortion. 

"I do not have such a concern," Warren said. "Donald Trump with his preening and his selection of truly awful candidates didn’t do his party any favors, but this victory belongs to Joe Biden. It belongs to Joe Biden and the Democrats who got out there and fought for working people. The things we did were important and popular." 

Warren touted the Inflation Reduction Act and said Biden positioned Democrats to "talk about what Democrats fight for."

"The president’s leadership put us in a position every candidate, up and down the ballot, to talk about what Democrats fight for and what we deliver on. And by doing that, we were able to address the values and economic security of people across this country. And it sure paid off. It paid off at historic levels," Warren said. 

But pundits have observed how often Biden seems to be sidelined in this year's midterm races. CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona suggested Sunday during CNN's "Inside Politics" that Democrats were able to win "in spite of Joe Biden" and not because of him.

"I mean, you see Biden, he sat off on the campaign trail in a lot of the key races, he wasn’t making big campaign pushes, he wasn’t front and center and that seemed to help Democrats," she said. 

Biden was asked about what he might say to two thirds of Americans who believe he shouldn't run for re-election in 2024 during a press conference on Wednesday.

"Watch me," the president told reporters.

Warren was also asked about Biden's student loan forgiveness plans and whether she would codify his plan into law if it gets help up in court. 

"I would be delighted to codify what the president is doing, but here’s the key. I don't have any doubt that the president has the legal authority to cancel the student load debt. President Trump did it. President Obama did it, and President Biden has done it up on now on student lone debt payments but we have a court in Texas, and if they’re going to play politics instead of actually following the law, they do put the program at risk," she said.

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin also declared Biden as the real winner following the midterm elections. 

"He's had significant wins in terms of infrastructure, in terms of the economy, so that messaging needs to be changed. And I think that's a pretty big takeaway from the midterms because Biden actually lost less seats than any president has in a decade. That says something, that says something, and I think it's a significant takeaway," Hostin said on Wednesday.
