I voted today in AZ, Maricopa county. We were all given Sharpies to fill in our ballot. I am now hearing that those are invalidated? Can someone please let me know if I am over reacting or if I should be worried? Here is the video I am referencing. https://twitter.com/i/status/1323875058918461442

To the best of my knowledge they aren't necessarily invalided but the voter machine will not read them and have to be counted manually. Why would they insist on sharpie? I filled my mail in with ball point. I'd suggest calling in the morning.
They should be manually counted. The ballot is numbered, can be traced back to the voter. AZ Pedes make SURE your vote was counted as you filled it out!
ArmyLady, do you know where to exactly look to see if your vote was counted? Thank you!
County election board should tell you how you can check in your county.
TY, i'll check tomorrow when I can reach them. :)
They were handing out fine tipped sharpies to everyone. No other options unless you brought your own writing utensil.
