big takeaway here is the undervoting will clearly be a factor in the AG and Superintendent’s races given how slim both margins are right now and will likely be once all votes are counted.

Curious as to where the early votes came from in this evening’s Maricopa drop?

The answer is everywhere, but there was a concentration of ballots from South Phoenix. Hence the very favorable D drop. pic.twitter.com/XEHs40GqRr

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates provided this update on ballot tabulation and the hand count during a press conference on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2022.

WATCH- Live press conference on YouTube: https://t.co/VvskJoqkem
Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates will provide an update on tabulation and the upcoming hand count.

— Maricopa County (@maricopacounty) November 11, 2022

“Veterans Day is a holiday in Maricopa County, but obviously we continue to work here,” Gates said, noting that several veterans are involved in the vote counting process here and elections workers paused for a moment to recognize all veterans who are a part of this.

“In the 8 o’clock hour, we will have another vote drop. Somewhere around 80,000 votes to be reported again just like last night,” Gates said. “When you figure that in it will bring us just below 300,000 ballots that will be left to tabulate.”

A “decent amount” of the 17,000 in person Election Day votes in drawer 3, the remainder of the early votes from before Election Day and some of the early ballots dropped off on Election Day will be included in the 8 p.m. vote drop, Gates said.

“This will be the first report that includes the early ballots that were dropped off on Election Day,” Gates said.

The hand count audit starts Saturday, Gates said.

“The hand count audit is mandated by law. There’s been a lot of discussion about that recently, especially in some of the other counties around Arizona,” Gates said. “This is a very important part of the process.”

“The hand count audit allows us to ensure that the machines are operating correctly,” Gates said. “This will be a statistically significant amount of ballots that will be involved and there’s two parts of it.”

The batches of early ballots to be audited have been selected over the past few weeks by the political parties, and there was a drawing on Wednesday to randomly select the five vote centers, all of which ended up being vote centers in the West Valley, and selected races – governor, state representative, U.S. congress and Prop. 129 – will be examined by three person boards with representatives from each political party, Gates said.

“For people who have any concerns about what’s going on here today, we have people everyday throughout this process Republicans and Democrats who are participating in it, whether they’re actually observers that have been appointed by the county chairs or if they are folks who are serving as our poll workers or if they’re involved in one of the bipartisan boards, we have Republicans and Democrats working together,” Gates said.

“We know that this is an exciting time. People are very anxious to get the results. These people are committed to moving this process through, but while they’re doing it, they might be making a new friend, meeting someone from across the aisle, which I think we need a little bit more of in this country right now,” Gates said.

When asked about how some candidates and news media keep focusing on how long it’s taking to count all the votes, Gates reminded reporters that elections workers are following laws created by the Arizona Legislature and that he hasn’t heard any complaints from state legislators about it because they know they process they approved.

Gates said “To see national networks out there and their hosts saying, not being truthful about why it’s taking this period of time, that’s frustrating to these people back here” as he pointed to elections workers behind him “who are doing and incredible job working through Veterans Day weekend and then to have that spread out there nationally to have them raise questions. You know, yeah, I’m going to stand up for my state. I am going to stand up for my state. Maybe not everyone here is, but I am. We’re doing things the right way. And I appreciate that you’re all here, but we’re not doing anything wrong at all, and that someone from here would suggest that we are doing something wrong that’s frustrating.”

Click here for Maricopa County Elections Results

Early results favored Democratic candidates. Some of those leads have narrowed as more results have been released, while others reversed.

The Associated Press called several races after more election results were released Friday night.

Several key races remain too close to call.

“We received over 900,000 early ballots. Those were signature verified. Those were processed. Those were sent forward to tabulation. Those were included in the results…Many were included in the initial results,” said Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer to reporters Wednesday morning during a news conference.

On Wednesday, there were more than 400,000 early ballots left to verify and count, said Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates. Progress is being made on that and some of those results were released yesterday.

“It’s likely that by this weekend, we’ll have probably about 95% of the ballots countes to the majority of those will get through by this weekend,” said Maricopa County Elections Communications Director Megan Gilbertson. “It usually takes the county between 10 and even up to 15 days to count all of the early ballots, all of the ballots in the election and to kind of close all of that out.”

— azfamily 3TV CBS 5 (@azfamily) November 9, 2022

“We are now from yesterday’s Election Day operation shifting back to that early ballot processing,” Richer said.

Richer said elections received about 86,000 early ballots of Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Election Day, and elections workers are scanning each bar code on the ballot that links to a registered voter, “ensure that is a valid registered voter, that voter hasn’t cast a ballot previously, and that we capture an image of that signature affidavit, then we load that into our database and we review the signature. Once the signature is matched, we send it forward to a bi-partisan ballot processing team.”

That team takes the ballot out of the green affidavit envelope, makes sure that the ballot isn’t damaged, torn, have red ink on it, or coffee on it or anything that would inhibit it from being tabulated then they’re sent ahead to the board for tabulation, Richer said.

Richer said there were a record number of early ballots dropped off at polling places on Election Day – about 275,000 – and those ballots are going through the process described above.

“This number is immense, and it’s probably a conversation Arizona needs to have in terms of public policy, because this is a number that keeps on growing. In many ways it’s wonderful. Arizonans appreciate the ease of the voting process and you can just take your early ballot and drop it off on Election Day, but it does inhibit us from having a higher percentage of returns available within the first 24 to 48 hours,” Richer said.

There are already 1.1 million to 1.2 million votes that have been reported, Gates said.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Ryan denied a request at 6:55 p.m. by the Republican National Committee, Kari Lake and Blake Masters to extend polling place voting hours from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. and delay the release of early ballot results from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. after 60 of polling places in Maricopa County had issues with printers connected to tabulators earlier today.

Update 6:15 p.m.: The Republican National Committee, Kari Lake and Blake Masters have filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court to extend polling place voting hours until 10 p.m. and delay the release of early ballot results until 11 p.m. after 60 of polling places in Maricopa County had issues with printers connected to tabulators earlier today.

— ABC15 Arizona (@abc15) November 9, 2022

In addition, the lawsuit seeks to let voters who choose to leave a voting center without casting a ballot, be checked out of the electronic pollbook and allowed to complete and cast a provisional ballot.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Ryan began hearing the lawsuit at 6:30 p.m.

The hearing over the lawsuit to keep polling places open is being livestreamed. Got to this website and look up the case number CV2022-014827. https://t.co/y1wGfBHDnO

— Jeremy Duda (@jeremyduda) November 9, 2022

“We ask you to extend provisional voting only from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and we ask that results be delayed by three hours,” said an attorney for the National Republican Party.

The attorney for Maricopa County said at no time was a polling center closed and he asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed.

“We must treat all the counties the same. We cannot have the polls closing in one county later than in the other 14 counties,” an attorney for Maricopa County said.

“To issue an order that a county could actually implement in a way that does not sow voter confusion and unfairness to the voters that otherwise listened to the county’s instructions. It is simply too late for that to be communicated in an orderly fashion given that we are this far away from polls being closed,” an attorney for Maricopa County said.

LATEST: GOP petitioning a judge to extend voting hrs. County says tabulation machines were fixed throughout day. Did not impact anyone’s ability to vote. But created delays at some locations & forced some voters to choose whether they wanted to drop ballot in a lock box. @12news pic.twitter.com/dUvtvylGjG

— JOE DANA (@JoeDanaReports) November 9, 2022

“The statutes in Arizona law are very clear about polling hours, and it’s very clear on when poll locations are to be closed. There’s been instances in the past where folks on my side of the aisle have attempted to extend voting hours based on delays at various poll locations, and those attempts have been denied by this court. And again, there’s nothing different about the instances in this case and therefore the court should deny an extension of the hours,” said an attorney for Maricopa County.

“These provisional ballots for people who went to the second site and checked out at the first site they’re there but they are not going to be counted under the law as it’s currently written,” said an attorney for the National Republican Party. “I don’t know if that’s going to be material to the outcome of these elections yet, because we don’t have voting, you know, voting results yet, but it very well may be.”

“So we need you to let people cast these provisional votes. We’ll come back later and fight about whether they should be counted. Obviously, if people followed the instructions of the poll workers, and they lost their right because they followed those instructions, that is not right,” said an attorney for the National Republican Party.

“Each voter was given the opportunity to fill out a ballot and put it into the ballot box. If they chose not to, it was a volitional act of the voter,” said an attorney for Maricopa County. “No law required them to not put it in drawer number three. No law told them they had to leave.”

“The law is the same for everyone across the Valley and across the state,” said an attorney for Maricopa County.

“Generally, Election Day voters are folks who have been watching the news over the past couple of years and they’ve got earnest concerns about the way this goes down, about how their ballot is counted, they want to make sure it counts, and one of the benefits of voting on Election Day is you get that piece of paper, you put it in the machine yourself, and you can watch it be counted,” said an attorney for the National Republican Party. “People find that satisfying and it increases confidence in our elections. This is very healthy for our system.”

“We have had two prior election cycles in 2016 and in 2018 where we have had delays, long lines at polling locations and again there was a request for an extension of hours that was denied, because again Arizona law very clearly sets forth the hours at polling locations,” said an attorney for Maricopa County. “In this case, as we’ve been going bakc and forth on, there still in my view has not been any evidence presented that anyone was actually denied the right to vote.”

The judge denied the temporary restraining order.

“As to the statute that applies to the operating hours during elections, the court finds that the Legislature has determined there is a benefit of having a statutory mandated presumptive voting time of 7 p.m.” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

“The court does not have any evidence in contrary that there were 223 vote centers open and that anyone who showed up between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. has been precluded from turning in a ballot, whether it’s an actual ballot or a provisional ballot,” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

“The declarations from the court’s perspective do show that although there might have been some confusion and some difficulties that all the individuals in the declaration filed either in provisional ballot or in direct ballot did vote,” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

“The court does not have any evidence of any voter that was precluded the right to vote from what was presented. There was, there is an opportunity until 7 p.m. to get in line and to vote,” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

“This is something that would be impossible to perform as we’re here at 6:55 and I would have no way to communicate even if I were to agree,” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

“I’m denying the motion of the temporary restraining order,” the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said.

The Judge then set a court date for Nov. 16 at 9 a.m. if there is a need for additional court involvement or discussion in the issue.

Before 5 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022: Voting centers open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. for Election Day, so vote in person or drop off your ballot, then check back for early results after 8 p.m.

Further down on the ballot are nonpartisan elections for for school governing board members, school bonds, school overrides, school district additional assistance and other school related questions.

At the bottom of the ballot are 10 propositions on a wide variety of issues that could change existing laws, create new laws and/ or amend the Arizona Constitution.

School bond, override & additional assistance elections

Arizona school districts are asking voters in their communities to approve bonds, overrides and other ballot measures in the Nov. 8 general elections to generate funding through local property taxes that schools can use for a set time and purpose.

• Bonds provide a certain amount of money for set projects.
• Overrides allow a school district to increase their maintenance and operations budget up to 15 percent.
• Capital/district additional assistance overrides let a school district raise funds up to 10 percent of their revenue control limit.

There are many school issues on the ballot in Arizona statewide, including  override elections, bond elections, and district additional assistance elections. A large number of these elections are in Maricopa County.

Since 2009, local revenue – including school bonds and overrides – has provided much more funding for Arizona public schools than state revenue has.

That contrasts sharply with most states, where state revenue makes up a much more substantial amount of public school funding than local revenue does.

Infographic by Lisa Irish/ AZEdNews

Click here for a larger version of the infographic

For example, 46% of Arizona public school funding in 2017 came from local revenue, compared with 40% from state funding.

That changed for just one year in 2020, when local revenues provided 43.7% of public school funding, just four tenths of a percent less than 44.1% in state revenues, according to the most recent “U.S. Census Bureau Public Education Finances: 2020” released in May 2022.

That reversal was short lived.

In 2021, local revenue again provided more funding for Arizona public schools – 42.5% – compared with 39.7%, from state revenue, according to preliminary tables from “U.S. Census Bureau Public Education Finances: 2021” released in August 2022.

Voters in some school districts have historically approved bonds and overrides, providing more local funding for student programs, teacher salaries, reduced class sizes and more.

Meanwhile, other school districts where bonds and overrides have been rejected by voters have been unable to generate that additional local funding, which puts them at a disadvantage when compared with neighboring school districts.

School elections by county

In Maricopa County, 10 school districts would like voters to approve bonds in these general elections, 15 school districts seek budget overrides, four ask voters to decide on district additional assistance overrides, two would like voters to determine if they sell property and one seeks voter input on joining West-MEC.
