A handful of minor voting issues are being magnified by some candidates who previously denied the 2020 election results, officials say.
into conspiracy theories and false claims to sow doubt about Democratic victories, continuing efforts since 2020 to undermine Americans’ confidence in voting.
In 2020, conspiracies about a rigged election were fueled by bogus reports of suitcases stuffed with fraudulent ballots at a Georgia vote-counting operation and ‘’ballot mules’' loading up drop boxes with fraudulent ballots. After Trump lost Arizona to President Joe Biden by just over 10,000 votes, he and his supporters peddled a string of allegations about election wrongdoing that crumbled under scrutiny.in too-close-to-call races for governor and U.S. Senate.
Trump seized on the problem in a message on his social network. He said the problem, which appeared similar to a voting issue in New Jersey’s Mercer County, was an effort by Democrats to “steal the election.” But Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for governor, told her supporters that they should leave the ballot to be counted later only if they couldn’t wait — and that they should not take it to another polling place.“The system we have right now does not work,” she said. “We the people deserve to know on election night the winner and the loser and we will bring that kind of election back to Arizona. I assure you of that.
Election skeptics also focused Tuesday on a glitch in Detroit. Some electronic poll books used for signing in voters displayed an error message stating that numbers on ballots already had been assigned to an absentee ballot. Poll workers were able to use paper backup poll books when the electronic ones had problems.
