An election worker in Arizona was arrested for allegedly stealing a security device from a Maricopa County election center in Phoenix, officials said on June 25.

Maricopa County Sheriff Russ Skinner told reporters at a press conference that authorities do not have any evidence suggesting that the incident was politically motivated. However, they are “not ruling it out,” he said, referring to that possibility.
