Midterm election results live: Maricopa drop puts Kari Lake further behind in Arizona, but contest is far from over
Voters were given the opportunity to place their ballots in the Box 3 slot or try another vote center during a tumultuous midterm elections on Tuesday, as dozens of locations experience problems with ballot tabulators that officials attributed to a printer setting snafu.
The roughly 17,000 ballots placed in Box 3, which Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates said accounted for about 7% of the vote this year, were taken by election workers to be tallied at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center,“Those will go through the quality assurance check and those will be tabulated throughout the week,” Gates said on Wednesday.
Republicans sued on Tuesday to have polls hours extended by three hours because of the tabulator problems, but were denied by a judge. As of Wednesday evening, several high-profile races have yet to be called with vote counts still coming in, including those for Arizona governor, secretary of state, and U.S. Senate.8:14 PM
