Glitches with voting tabulation machines in Arizona’s largest county have touched off unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, as Republican nominees and party officials indirectly accused the Democratic gubernatorial nominee of deliberately tampering with equipment.
In Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, election officials flagged problems with tabulators in about 20% of polling locations but made clear that it would not affect voters’ ability to cast a ballot.
There were technical issues in Dominion voting machines also in 2020, and such challenges in elections of this size are common.
