Following the 2020 presidential election, some conservatives and supporters of former President Donald Trump spread baseless claims that Maricopa County – Arizona's most populous county – was rife with election fraud.
But the claim is baseless.

At an Election Day press briefing, Maricopa County officials explained that some printers at vote centers in the county were not producing dark enough formatting marks on ballots, meaning the counting machines couldn't read them.
There was no evidence of impropriety, and it was not indicative of fraud or cheating, a senior U.S. cybersecurity official said.
