- Internal emails between top election officials in Arizona’s Maricopa County reveal that they couldn’t reconcile a discrepancy of almost 16,000 outstanding ballots. The race for governor was decided by slightly more than 17,000 votes.
- Maricopa County was plagued by numerous issues with ballot machines at many of its vote centers on Election Day, resulting in delays and long lines.
