County officials used longer ballots on thicker paper than had been used previously, changes that were made in part to respond to unfounded conspiracy theories but which pushed the printers to the edge of their capabilities, former Justice McGregor wrote.
PHOENIX — Problems with ballot printers that caused lines to back up at some Phoenix-area polling places last year werebut by changes to the paper, a retired Arizona Supreme Court justice concluded in a report released Monday.
“Nothing we learned in our interviews or document reviews gave any clear indication that the problems should have been anticipated,” McGregor wrote. Republican Kari Lake, who lost the race for governor, along with the GOP candidates for attorney general and secretary of state have pointed to the printer issues as a reason for their losses. Lake’s campaign Twitter account called the McGregor report a “farce.”
McGregor, who was appointed to the state’s high court by former Republican Gov. Jane Hull, said the problem was more pronounced because of two changes made for the 2022 general election.
