Back in 2022, on Election Day, voting centers across Maricopa County, the largest in the state, faced vote tabulator failures at roughly 60% of voting locations, leaving the majority-Republican in-person voters stuck waiting in hours-long lines or unable to vote.

Republican Kari Lake was running against Democrat Katie Hobbs for governor in that race and lost by less than 1% after the catastrophic failures disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters.

Hobbs is up for reelection this cycle against Trump-Endorsed Republican Andy Biggs.

The county came under scrutiny again last month after a so-called error with thousands of mail-in ballots this election cycle and after employees were caught potentially tampering with election equipment in the dead of night.

President Trump responded to Maricopa County’s mail-in ballot “error” recently, telling The Gateway Pundit, “They got caught! And now they’re saying it was an error. Maricopa is a very, very dishonest county.”
