As election officials in Arizona counted ballots, social media posts falsely suggested that the pace of the count was a sign of fraud. Those posts ignored that counting mail ballots requires additional steps than counting in-person votes.
media users spread misinformation falsely suggesting the count’s pace signaled fraud. But Arizona’s widespread use of mail-in voting and close margins in multiple contests created the longer wait for results.
"There is nothing wrong or nefarious about the fact that it takes a long time to count the votes," Gulotta said. Nationally, some GOP activists had urged voters to wait until Election Day to vote. Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, who organized the 2021 ballot review in Maricopa, said in October on "We need to vote on the last day, the day of Election Day, so they don't know how much to cheat by."
Counties are not allowed to begin releasing results until 8 p.m. election night, and they continue to release updates in the days that follow.
