Maricopa County, Arizona officials confirmed that roughly 20% of voting centers are malfunctioning, citing “printer settings” as the issue. Voters can still cast their ballot securely using a drop box. Backup plans include the physical drop box, going to another voting center, or waiting for the tabulator to function correctly.
From The Epoch Times:
Earlier in the morning, Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward wrote there were “BIG problems with” vote tabulators, explaining there were “tabulator ‘malfunctions’ at at least 6 places. DO NOT PUT YOUR BALLOT IN ‘BOX 3′ TO BE “TABULATED DOWNTOWN.’ Maricopa will not be turning on the downtown tabulators today.” ... Stephen Richer, the Maricopa County recorder, earlier in the morning said on Twitter: “Over 23,000 people have already checked in in person and successfully voted. We have tabulator issues at a few locations, but the backup plan allows those votes to still be tabulated.” Richer told local media outlets that they’ve seen “a few tabulator issues” where the machine is not “immediately taking the ballot” in several locations, including the Burton Barr Library and Christ Lutheran Church. “Instead it can either be Central count tabulated here, or if that issue can be addressed there, then it can be fed into the tabulator … or voters can go to any of the other 221 voting locations,” Richer added.
