Americans voted without major problems Tuesday in midterm elections that followed two years of false claims and conspiracy theories about how ballots are cast and counted.
Jesse Littlewood, vice president of campaigns at Common Cause, which advocates for voting access, countered: “There are attempts to use those election administration and voting machine issues that election workers are working to fix to spin a disinformation campaign.”
A spokesperson for the state’s elections department, Megan Gilbertson, said the problem was minor and that voters had options for casting their ballots, including using the secure drop box at the polling place or going to a different voting center. The issue gave rise to conspiracy theories about the integrity of the vote in the pivotal state. Trump, Lake and others weighed in to claim that Democrats were trying to subvert the vote of Republicans, who tend to show up in greater numbers in person on Election Day.
The Republican National Committee, along with the campaigns of Lake and Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters, filed an emergency motion to extend voting hours in Maricopa County. Arizona law allows anyone still in line when the polls close to vote.
