Arizona’s Election Bungle

 What is going on in Arizona?

  • On election eve, Nov. 7, the vote tabulators at all 223 vote centers in Maricopa County, Arizona's most populous county, comprising 62 percent of the state's population, were checked and verified to be working properly
  • During the day at least 25% of the tabulators were not tabulating votes
  • The voters with denied votes were instructed to put their completed ballots in a special place
  • Box 3 or Door 3 - and those ballots would be tabulated later, they were told

Arizona:

  • Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich sent a letter to county election officials alleging that the county broke ballot-handling laws
  • Maricopa County appears to have failed to adhere to the statutory guidelines in segregating, counting, tabulating, tallying, and transporting the "Door 3" ballots
  • Some voters were told to travel to a different center and vote there; when they got there, they were told they had already voted at the first location
  • Lines were out the door throughout the county; some voters experienced one- or two-hour waits
  • Obviously, any screwups at the polling places affect Republican tallies more than Democrat vote counts
  • The Republican Party of Arizona is accusing the county of voter suppression

The Arizona election was also marred by problems

  • System meltdown on election day
  • Printer problems, tabulation errors, three-hour-long lines and even longer, and confusing instructions given by election officials made this Election Day the most chaotic in Arizona’s history
