Officials with Maricopa County are providing updates on the ongoing ballot counting efforts, as well as answering questions surrounding the speed at which the ballots are being counted. This comes as Arizona is at the center of attention over the results of various statewide offices.
Two days following the midterm election, officials with Maricopa County are providing updates on the ongoing ballot counting efforts, as well as answering questions surrounding the speed at which the ballots are being counted. FOX 10's Stephanie Bennett reports.On the afternoon of Nov. 10, Maricopa County election officials gave an update on their ballot processing and tabulation.
So far, officials say over 1.1 million votes have been counted and recorded, but there are still about 400,000 to 410,000 more to be counted. As vote counting efforts continue, some are complaining about the time it is taking to count these ballots, and comparing Arizona to other states. Another issue is Arizona law, which allows voters to drop off early voting ballots on Election Day. This is something other states do not allow. In Maricopa County, officials say a historic 290,000 early ballots were dropped off on Election Day, which is 70% more compared to the 2020 election. The ballots can’t just run through the tabulators, as they need to be signature verified, then processed by a bi-partisan board before they can be counted.
