Arizona ballot scanners still are 600,000 votes short
In what is turning out to be a major national embarrassment, Arizona still has over 600,000 ballots left to count which is over a quarter of the total number of votes. The vote count has been stalled at about 70% counted for the past two days and Republicans are rightly outraged. Voters also faced problems with ballot scanners when they voted in person on Tuesday in Maricopa County. Both Kari Lake and Blake Masters trail slightly to Democrats in their races and many are questioning why the votes are not being counted. Maricopa County tweeted an apology for the scanner issue which they say affected 7% of voters on election day.

One of Arizona's problems is that it waits until after the election to count the mail-in ballots, unlike Texas and Florida which count them beforehand. Both states were able to get their vote totals in on election night. They apparently tested the ballot scanners beforehand but it did not uncover the problem.
