Maricopa County is seeking election workers following a record-breaking surge of early voters - four years after the Arizona county became the target of Donald Trump's election fraud claims.
Dubbed the “nation’s ultimate swing county”, Maricopa County could determine the presidential race. But first, they need to find more early voter tabulators as over 1 million people have already cast their ballots early, officials said.
The Maricopa County Recorder’s office “URGENTLY needs additional help processing early ballots,” an email from the Maricopa County Public Health Department said on Wednesday. The message read: “Temporary assistance needed for the Recorder’s Office to assist in counting early ballots. This position pays $16 per hour,” according to a reporter from 12News.
Elections officials said in a press conference last week they only had hired 584 of the 786 temporary workers – 74 per cent – needed for this election, the outlet reported.
