Pima County reported incorrect numbers of uncounted ballots on Friday, due to what county officials say was a clerical error.
The error didn’t become public until an attorney for Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake complained.
The estimated number of uncounted ballots reported by the county went up in a two-hour period Friday, Lake’s attorney Jennifer Wright pointed out in a letter to county officials.
“Kari Lake for Arizona demands that Pima County provide an immediate explanation of the discrepancies in the numbers combined with complete and accurate accounting of how the number of uncounted ballots increased between the 1:23 p.m. report and the 3:23 p.m. report,’’ she wrote to Daniel Jurkowitz, the assistant chief civil deputy in the Pima County Attorney’s Office.
