Protesters have gathered outside of the elections office in Maricopa County, Arizona, on Saturday to protest the slow counting of the ballots that were cast during the midterm elections Tuesday.
Approximately three dozen Republican protesters carried signs that referred to gubernatorial candidates Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs that read, “Lake won,” “Hobbs is a cheat,” and “count the vote,” according to a local reporter on the scene.

Dhillon said:"The RNC and the Republican Party of Arizona demand that around-the-clock shifts of ballot processing be pressed into service until all votes have been counted, accompanied by complete transparency and regular, accurate public updates. We will not hesitate to take legal action if necessary to protect Arizona voters’ right to have their ballots counted."
