Maricopa County officials say they are 'well-resourced, well-planned, and well-trained' for the upcoming primary election, as well as the general election.
While so much focus has been on the general election in recent weeks, it is important to remember that Arizona is just one week away from holding a primary election.During a news conference held on July 23, Maricopa County officials say they have already received 395,000 ballots, and as of the end of the business day on July 22, 211,000 ballots were tabulated. In all, the county expects a turnout of between 718,000 to 894,000 voters.
"Unfortunately, sadly, the world that we live in, when we put this plan together, as we had coordinated with sheriff and local law enforcement, we had to prepare for things like this," said Gates."Has there been any specific threats made against either the primary election or general election?" Gates was asked."No," Gates replied. Officials, however, later clarified that MCSO is in charge of matters related to threats.
