Hand counts, pen debates, voter intimidation: How midterm voting is shaping up

Arizona voters will play an outsized role in determining the
nation's political direction in next week's midterm election. The
national focus on Arizona inevitably revives interest in the
baseless election denialism that has defined many Republican
candidates across the country and in this state.  After last
year’s state Senate Republicans ordered a partisan review of
ballots in Maricopa County, and after nearly two full years of
former President Donald Trump falsely claiming widespread fraud in
Arizona, the state’s election officials will face a big test.
This week on The Gaggle, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and
azcentral.com, host Ron Hansen is joined by Arizona Republic
reporters Sasha Hupka and Mary Jo Pitzl. They talk us through how
voting is shaping up as of now and what complications are already
evident. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
