In reply to the discussion: "The worst we've ever seen": Issues in Apache County, Arizona, preventing voters from casting ballots [View all]Mosby
(17,643 posts)33. There are also 40,000 damaged voter registration forms to go thru
I would assume some of them are going to submit provisional ballots, if they weren't on the vorer rolls
The Maricopa County Recorders Office received a record number of voter registration forms this year on the final day before the deadline. However, thousands of the forms arrived damaged or incomplete.
The office received 90,000 forms, mostly from third-party organizations, but up to 40,000 were torn, wet, damaged, or otherwise unable to be processed. Officials say they could even be potentially fraudulent.
A large number of these voter forms were from groups that have a history of being problematic, to the office, officials said.
We have asked our lawmakers repeatedly in years past to address the integrity of paper voter registration forms dropped off by third party groups. Sadly, nothing has been done, Maricopa County Recorder Steven Richer Richer said in a tweet.

It could be weeks or longer for AZ to deliver results, IMO.

OP
This IS a disgrace. It's 2024, this type of thing should not be happening anywhere.

OUR voting should be fast, easy, and convenient for US. More places, more days, more ways.

Intentional voter suppression. Does anyone know if Arizona voters can do a provisional ballot? n/t

This will hurt Gallego for Senate also. He met personally with 22 of 24 Native American Nations in AZ.
