Arizona election denial hotspot increases security

Summary

Maricopa County, Arizona, has implemented enhanced security for the 2024 election, transforming its ballot counting center into a high-security zone with drones, snipers, razor wire, armed guards, and 24/7 livestreams in response to 2020 election-related threats and conspiracy theories.

Despite these efforts, some Republicans remain skeptical about the integrity of the election process. “It’s very hard to trust anyone today.”

With tight races expected, the county’s role is important, and results may take up to 13 days.
