Maricopa County stresses importance of keeping ballot pages together

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Nonpartisan election officials across the country are warning of widespread problems with the U.S. mail system, which they say could disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election.

The U.S. Postal Service is accused of sending mailed ballots postmarked on time days after the deadline and returning properly addressed election mail as undeliverable.

Leaders here in Maricopa County are also drawing attention to potential problems. It’s only the second time in recent history that a ballot in Maricopa County has spilled over two pages.

Experts have been testing and planning to avoid problems, but they caution that the process could bring surprises. This may be especially consequential at a time when election integrity is already in the spotlight.
