(*No, obviously it'll continue to circulate as an alternative fact for eternity.)

Based on correspondence and conversations with Maricopa County officials, we are now confident that the use of Sharpie markers did not result in disenfranchisement for Arizona voters. We appreciate the county’s prompt insight and assurances to address public concerns.

2. Why were voters given Sharpie markers to use?

Was this some kind of reference to Trump in the polling places?

3. No, that's what manufacturer of the voting system they use is recommending.

5. So the Trumpsters just created a conspiracy theory.

That's so easily disproven. They're decompensating.

7. The way I understand it, everyone who voted in person used a sharpie

because that's what the manufacturer of the voting machine recommended. Those who voted by mail could use a black pen, blue pen or a sharpie.

6. My recollection when I lived in AZ

(up to 2018 - meaning through the 2016 election) is that we ALWAYS used Sharpies to mark our ballots. That's what was in the voting booths and when I started voting by mail, that's what I always used.
