The Arizona Senate-ordered audit of Maricopa County s general election will take a one-week hiatus at the end of the week to make way for high school graduations at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.
The plan is to move the ballots and equipment to another area of the Arizona State Fairgrounds on Friday and move back in May 23 to pick back up on May 24.
“We’ll stand aside and secure all the ballots and equipment here on the property and be ready to go when they’re finished,” said the state Senate s audit liaison Ken Bennett.
Jen Yee, assistant executive director at the Arizona State Fair and Exposition, confirmed the plan, but said nothing had been signed as of Monday.
13 Percent of Maricopa County Ballots Counted in Audit So Far: Official
About 13 percent of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, Arizona in the 2020 election have been counted in an ongoing election audit, an official said Monday.
About 275,000 ballots have been reviewed so far by workers hired by companies tapped by the Arizona Senate, former Republican Secretary of State Ken Bennett told reporters at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The audit started on April 23. Workers take off Sundays. That means workers have processed about 20,000 ballots a day.
The firms, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, are also inspecting machines used in the 2020 election.
