The US election was not rigged in Arizona, despite technical problems during the voting, local authorities said on Wednesday, as the final results of the polls will not be known until Thursday, AFP reports.
As allegations of fraud flourished on social media and among Republicans, election officials strongly denied the allegations at a news conference.
“As for comments like ‘criminal’ or ‘corrupt,’ there is absolutely no basis for that,” said Bill Gates, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Elections.
Voting in Arizona’s most populous county, which includes the capital city of Phoenix, was disrupted Tuesday by technical problems that affected the machines responsible for reading or printing ballots at about sixty precincts, or more than a quarter of the polling places. .
That sparked a major controversy in the Grand Canyon state, where Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by just 10,000 votes in 2020.
