Former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor will spearhead an investigation into a ballot printing mishap in the Phoenix area during the 2022 midterm elections.
McGregor will establish a team of experts to ascertain why printers in the area managed to produce ballots during the state's primaries in August without major defects but struggled with some ballots in the general election"using the same settings," the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors announced Friday."This Board of Supervisors has always been committed to continuous improvement. When things don’t work, we find out why.
Faulty printers created ballots that were too light to be processed by some tabulators and caused backups at polling places on general election night. Despite problems with the ballots, the county has underscored that all votes were counted, and everyone who stayed in line at polling places was given the opportunity to vote.
McGregor previously led a 2019 investigation into state prison cell doors, according to the board. She had been appointed to the high court in the state by Republican Gov. Jane Hull in 1998 before stepping down in 2009. "Maricopa County appreciates Justice McGregor’s willingness to serve in this role. We look forward to her findings," the county added."Our voters deserve nothing less."Maricopa County contains 60% of Arizona’s voters and has been a hotbed for election denial in the past due to prior election snags.
The county has vehemently denied accusations of malfeasance or allegations that its election oversight altered outcomes.
