Top election officials in Arizona’s largest county said that no evidence has been found of voter fraud, misconduct, or equipment malfunction and gave assurances the voting system is accurate and the election reliable.
Clint Hickman, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, said in a Nov. 17 letter that “proper steps have been taken to ensure a full and accurate count of all votes,” including functionality and accuracy testing of tabulation equipment and a hand count audit of a representative sampling of votes that “yielded a 100 percent match to the results” produced by vote counting machines.
