Maricopa County sued for alleged Sharpie ballot controversy

The Arizona Attorney General's Office said Wednesday they are looking into complaints about the use of Sharpie markers to mark ballots in Maricopa County.

The office received "hundreds" of complaints from voters worried about if ballots will be counted if it was filled out using Sharpie markers, according to information released from the attorney general's office.

Elections officials in Maricopa County have said that there is no issue with a ballot filled out with a Sharpie. The ballot was designed so the front and back circles are offset. If the marker did bleed through the ballot, the votes would still be properly counted.
