A review and report from Maricopa County election officials offers a clearer view into what happened, and contests Republican conspiracy theories.

on November 8, when some voting machines in the Southwest state’s most populous county glitched out. However, counter to many Republican conspiracy theories, the technical issue didn’t cause any problems with final vote counts or election integrity, the Elections Department indicated.

Poll workers and election officials instructed voters whose ballots were rejected to either place their ballots into “Box 3" or “Door 3" for counting at the central facility, or to go to one of the numerous other open voting locations around the county if they preferred. In total, just 16,724 ballots ended up in Box 3, representing about 1% of all ballots issued during the 2022 general election, said the report.

“The secure Door 3 option has been a decades-long practice in Maricopa County. Despite this being a legal, secure, and reliable voting option, many high profile and influential individuals instructed voters to not deposit their ballots in Door 3 . Consequently, some voters refused to use this viable voting option,” read the Sunday report.
