PHOENIX Several hundred protesters gathered outside of the Maricopa County Elections Office on Wednesday night as the votes from the 2020 elections continued to be counted.

Protesters could be heard chanting count those votes and chastising Fox News Channel for calling Arizona for Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday, which was the first network to make that call. The crowd also voiced concerns over if ballots filled out with permanent marker were being counted.

If you havent heard, Sharpiegate is the wrong notion pushed by some that Sharpie pens used at polling places were handed out for voting, but the felt-tip pen's ink would then bleed through the ballot, making it unreadable by a machine and thus keeping your vote from counting.
