Maricopa County is still counting 80,000 ballots as some races remain too close to call

Arizona’s largest county still has roughly 80,000 uncounted ballots as of Monday. Despite the long wait for decisive results in some close races, state elections officials say they’re pleased with how smoothly Election Day itself went.

The secretary of state reported that more than 3.2 million ballots were cast in this year’s election, many of them mail-in.

For those who voted in person, some were met with long lines and logistical errors.

But Tom Collins, the executive director of the Arizona Clean Elections Commission, says issues were quickly remedied.

“It was a very long ballot and I know that the counties are working to resolve any outstanding issues and to ensure that those ballots are counted," Collins said.

Ballots are still being counted nearly a week after Election Day. Some Arizona races remain too close to call.
