Arizona audit: Recount of Maricopa County election packs up shop for now Staff Reports
The floor of Veterans Memorial Coliseum was largely empty Friday after three weeks of people recounting Maricopa County s general election ballots.
They made it through just less than a quarter of the 2.1 million ballots in that time, despite originally planning to wrap up the Arizona Senate-ordered audit today.
Instead, the ballots and equipment are being hauled to the Wesley Bolin Building on the south end of the state fairgrounds, west of the cattle barns. After a week of high school graduations at the coliseum, the recount is expected to pick back up there on May 24 and run through June.

A woman faces 12 counts of animal cruelty after officials say more than a dozen animals in her care were found living in deplorable conditions nearly a month ago.
Phoenix police last month responded to a report of animal neglect at a home near Van Buren and 40th streets, said Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Maggie Cox. Police on April 19 had probable cause to arrest Rachel Ussery-Welch on suspicion of 12 counts of animal cruelty, Cox said.
Details about the events leading to Ussery-Welch s arrest were not immediately available since she was not in the Maricopa County Superior Court s system as of Wednesday afternoon, according to court spokesperson Vincent Funari.
