Final vote tally delayed by surge of people filing to ‘cure’ ballots in Maricopa County – By Robert Anglen (Arizona Republic) / Nov 18, 2022
The final tally of votes in Maricopa County won’t come for at least two more days after thousands of people submitted forms to “cure” their ballots − including many who weren’t registered to vote.
County elections officials said Friday workers will continue counting through the weekend to verify all votes, and a total could come Sunday night.
Wednesday’s deadline for curing ballots − to address missing or unverifiable signatures on mail-in ballots − resulted in thousands of voter submissions to the county’s website, county officials said Friday.
“Some of those were unregistered voters,” Elections Department spokesperson Megan Gilbertson said, adding that every submission must be verified before it can be cured and counted.
