As of Friday morning, 77% of votes had been \u200ccounted, with estimates indicating \u2063that about 472,000 ballots \u200dwere still pending due to the time needed to verify voters&#8217; identities for mail-in \u2063ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Richer, who faced scrutiny after 2022 election issues and recently lost a\u2063 primary bid, stated his decision to delete\u200d his account was a personal promise after the election. \u200bHis actions followed criticism over \u2063past controversies, including a malfunctioning voting machine incident and accusations \u2063of partisanship against Trump-aligned candidates. The delayed\u200b vote counts have prompted \u200bfrustration from Lake&#8217;s campaign, which demands more transparency\u200d regarding the voting process in the \u200dcounty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Maricopa County, Arizona, Recorder Stephen Richer deleted his X account Thursday with hundreds of thousands of ballots still to be counted.<\/p>\n<p>The county&rsquo;s slow reporting of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-going-on-minnesota-and-wisconsin-both-had-89-90-turnout-something-that-is-highly-unlikely\/\" title=\"What is Going On?

The county&#8217;s slow election result reporting has sparked worries, especially among supporters of GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake, who is in a close contest with Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego. Leading up to the election, polls showed Lake either tied or slightly ahead of Gallego, although Gallego had a 2.6-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average from late October. Despite this average showing Trump leading by only 3 percent in polls, he currently holds a 6.1 percent advantage over Kamala Harris in actual results\u2014indicating that polling may have underestimated support for both him and potentially for Lake as well.<\/p>\n<p>As per the latest updates, Gallego leads by 1.5 percent (49.7% to 48.2%). By Friday morning, The New York Times reported that about 77 percent of votes were counted but many more remained outstanding; Maricopa County estimates around 472,000 ballots still need processing due to mail-in ballots being dropped off until Election Day at 7 p.m., which requires identity verification before counting.<\/p>\n<p>Richer explained his decision to delete his X account as part of a &#8220;post-election promise&#8221; and stated he aimed to be accessible and answer voter questions throughout the election process.
