On Election Day, roughly 60 voting sites in Maricopa County, Arizona, experienced a ballot printing glitch that spawned allegations of voter fraud. It's far from the only such claim out of Arizona, however.
An Instagram post shared Nov. 10 includes a screenshot of a post on Gettr, a social media network run by an aide to former President Donald Trump. In the post, a poll watcher named Sarah O'Neill claims to have seen discrepancies with ballot activity at a vote center in Maricopa County on Election Day.
"1,018. # of Voters Checked in. 1,218 # of Total Ballots per tape + Door # 3," reads the Gettr post. "Suspicious. Where did the extra 200 Ballots come from??? More than 250 vote centers = 50k. Reported to the AZ GOP."
O'Neill claims that "drop boxes also had dozens of ballots already in them as they were placed, still sealed" and that sheriffs were called out to witness the activity.
