Maricopa County: Most of the misplaced ballots discovered after Nov. 4 election have been counted

Maricopa County election officials said they were able to count a vast majority of the over 2,000 misplaced ballots that were discovered days after the Nov. 4 elections.

Maricopa County Elections Director Scott Jarrett told the Board of Supervisors that election workers at a Glendale voting location placed two sealed boxes of ballots into a wheeled drop box to make it easier to move to a transport truck.

However, no one removed them from that drop box when it was returned to the county’s central elections center, and they were not discovered until the Friday after the election during a later round of routine checks.

Jarrett said the ballots were discovered in their sealed boxes.
