“Maricopa County Admits They Do Not Count Ballots At Vote Centers”

On Wednesday during Kari Lake’s election challenge trial, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer testified that the total number of votes cast at individual polling locations were not tallied during the recent midterm election.  Lake has brought forth allegations in the lawsuit that the total number of ballots reported from Maricopa County increased by almost 25,000 from November 9 to November 11.  Richer testified, “They’re not counted at the individual loading locations.”  In response, the Arizona Republican Party tweeted, “Maricopa County admits they do NOT count ballots at vote centers (which is required by State Law).”
