The battle for control over Maricopa County elections rages on

More from this show

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap appear no closer to resolving a legal battle over who controls the county’s elections. However, last week the board voted to give Heap control over early in-person voting, which was one of his demands before he filed suit against the board last summer.

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the next steps in achieving his vision of fair elections.

Heap has already announced plans to revise early in-person voting booths, saying he had “serious concerns” about Board Chair Kate Brophy McGee and Vice Chair Debbie Lesk’s plans.
