In a state where the integrity of elections has been heavily questioned, Pinal County couldn’t have picked a worse time to fumble its primary elections.
The trouble started when mail-in ballots were sent out that did not contain some municipal elections. Then on Tuesday night, the county reported that they had underestimated how many ballots were needed and ended up having to print more.
At a press conference Wednesday addressing the election problems, Pinal County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeffrey McClure said the elections director was responsible for making sure the ballots were correct and that there were enough of them.
