UPDATE: (November 30) Since our report Maricopa County officials, who are known for switching their talking points, now say the number 540,000 included ED voters and ED dropoffs.
Here is their new explanation—
According to the Maricopa County Elections Department, more than 540,000 voters visited a vote center on Election Day to cast a ballot in person or drop off their early ballots.
On Nov. 28, county officials voted unanimously to certify the election results, which resulted from 1.56 million voters casting 2022 midterm ballots. Those certified results included the following breakdown:

- Verified and counted Election Day ballots: 248,070
- Verified and counted Election Day provisional ballots: 2,954
- Verified and counted early ballots: 1,311,734
Another interesting fact. The Uplift company, a Democrat-leaning ballot tracking firm, reported that 966,656 early ballots were returned before Election Day. This is significantly less than what the county reported.
The company does an excellent job tracking early voting. It is interesting their number is lower than the county’s official number.

There are several questions that must still be answered about these numbers.
