Maricopa Under Fire for Appointing More Dem than GOP Poll Workers

cross-posted from: https://exploding-heads.com/post/42238

Although Maricopa County Republican Committee chairwoman Mickie Niland provided the county with a list of “several hundred” Republican poll worker names ahead of the primary election, the letter revealed that 11 vote centers ended up with no GOP election inspectors at all.

Spencer also highlighted a “significant disparity between political parties in the central processing boards utilized at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) during the primary.”

Only ten Republican poll workers ended up in the “receiving/inspection boards,” compared to 58 Democrats. This disparity would violate the state’s election procedures manual, which requires each central board to be “comprised of two members of different political parties.”

The RNC is requesting a written explanation as to why an equal number of Republican poll workers were not appointed for the primary and why the county did not utilize the list of names chairwoman Niland provided.
