Scanner Stolen From Secure Facility

New security footage reveals an employee removing an election scanner from Maricopa County’s secure tabulation center—only for it to reappear hours later in a restricted voting area. The scanner, vital for processing early and provisional ballots, was returned to county administration after officials confirmed ownership. Former Recorder Helen Purcell warns this breach undermines trust in the chain of custody, while Recorder Justin Heap denies wrongdoing, blaming the Board of Supervisors for stoking controversy. A special prosecutor has now been appointed to investigate potential criminal activity, and the scanner is being taken offline for forensic analysis to safeguard future elections.
