It's Happening: Election Irregularities Reported in Maricopa County, Arizona

Voting machines in Maricopa County, Arizona, were reported to be malfunctioning on Tuesday morning. Nevertheless, election officials insist that voters are still able to cast valid ballots despite the fact that a large number of ballots are being misread.

“We have two tabulators, one of the tabulators is not working. The other tabulator is taking about 75 percent successful, so 25 percent of them are being misread. and it could be a printer issue or it could be the tabulator itself,” one election worker in Anthem explained.

I am getting flooded with calls and text messages from people who are having trouble voting all over Maricopa County.

THIS is why we must reform our elections. https://t.co/oFFElskQFs

Maricopa County was previously in the spotlight for numerous election irregularities in 2020. A forensic audit of the vote was resisted by county election officials but turned up numerous irregularities that may have impacted the results statewide. The county also reportedly replaced voting machines that were subpoenaed during the audit — but it’s not known if there’s any connection between the replaced machines and the problems currently being experienced.
