Republican voters frustrated with Maricopa County’s handling of the midterm election denounced the county’s board of supervisors on Nov. 16 and called for a new election.

“I’m just disgusted by your behavior and the decisions that you’ve made. Look at all these people out here suffering so badly because of your falsehoods,” Sheila Roberts of Phoenix said during the board’s public comment portion.
