Kari Lake, Blake Masters, RNC Sue Maricopa County for Voting ‘Hiccups’

The campaigns for Arizona Republican candidates Kari Lake and Blake Masters along with the RNC are suing Maricopa County for voting mishaps on election day.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters and the Republican National Committee are suing Maricopa County after voting issues with tabulation machines on Tuesday.
  • The group behind the lawsuit also asked the court to “instruct the inspector at every polling location that voters who choose to spoil their ballot and leave the voting center without casting a ballot must be ‘checked out’ in the electronic pollbook,” Fox News reported.
  • “Arizona law guarantees that all qualified electors be afforded a continuous period of thirteen hours in which to cast a ballot in-person on Election Day,” the suit said. “By preventing voters from obtaining and casting a ballot within a reasonable period of time, these pervasive tabulator malfunctions have effectively truncated the 13-hour voting period secured by state law.”
  • The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Bill Gates told the news outlet that the county was “unfortunately” having some “hiccups” with nearly 20% of the tabulators.
  • “Maricopa County has identified the solution for the tabulation issues at about 60 vote centers, county technicians have changed the printer settings, which seem to resolve the issue,” one tabulation center official said. “It appears some of the printers were not producing dark enough timing marks on the ballots.”

BACKGROUND:
  • Arizona’s 2020 election was deeply contested, more than 40% of Americans believing Joe Biden did not legitimately win the state in the presidential election.
  • In 2021, the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County claimed the 2020 election was secure but wouldn’t allow anyone to get close to their results.
  • The members spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results, American Faith reported.
  • “The radical left Democrat Party has gone absolutely insane in fighting the forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election Scam right now taking place in the Great State of Arizona,” former President Trump said in a statement at the time. “They sent a team of over 100 lawyers to try and stop it because they know what the result of the Arizona Senate sponsored audit will be — and it won’t be good for the Dems.”
