How Arizona became the center of election fraud theories

Audits, ballot reviews and court rulings all found that Arizona conducted a free and fair election back in 2020. However, claims of widespread fraud persist as Arizona is poised to be another key battleground state in this year's presidential campaign.

The former mayor of New York City, along with 17 others, have been charged with allegedly orchestrating an effort to have Trump supporters submit fraudulent ballots to the Electoral College even though President Joe Biden won the state in 2020. Trump himself questioned the narrow electoral win, but was described as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

This rhetoric fueled conspiracy theories regarding allegations of dead people voting, bamboo ballots from Asia, and Sharpiegate — the widespread claim that ballots marked with Sharpies could not be read by voting machines. The allegations led to multiple investigations, all of which found no evidence of election fraud.
