Maricopa County Republican Committee Executive Director says some voters told MCRC they had no idea ballots had been cast for them
Arizona Insiders interviewed Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) Executive Director Chris Handsel today about the ballot curing process, which a team at MCRC is working on this weekend. He said that some of the voters they called about fixing their signatures said they had no idea that ballots had been cast for them, which MCRC will be investigating. They are also looking into voters who can't believe their signatures didn't match. He recommends going to beballotready.vote to view what your signature looked like on your ballot affidavit envelope.
