Governance issues identified from Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation of Arizona Senate allegations of Maricopa County Election Department - Drop Box Collections issues. When the amount of ballots to be counted became too large, they began to weigh ballots as a means to estimate the early ballot count.

Governance issues identified from Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation of Arizona Senate allegations of Maricopa County - Signature Verification Process issues. The AZ AG's inspector noted the expected pace of Signature Verifiers; according to Mr. Ray Valenzuela, Director of TS Elections, Level I Signature Verifiers should be able to process around 250 signature verifications every 30 minutes (7.2 seconds per ballot). Meanwhile, the A.R.S. 16-550.01 - Signature verification; procedures; exemption; intent; definitions, paragraphs B and G specify six different signature traits that must be matched. See heading titled Arizona Law for Elections under the Maricopa County Signature Verification (2020) webpage.

As the single barrier to detecting fraudulent ballots from signature verification, the 7.2 seconds per ballot pace seems excessive when the Arizona Revised Statutes require six different signature attributes to be compared. No Signature Verifier was required to demonstrate competency before assuming the Level I Signature Verifier.
