Was an AZ poll observer for two days. Each voter was handed a black ballpoint pen (not a Sharpie) and very specifically instructed to use that pen.
What would be the problem with using a Sharpie?
In Maricopa county, there are no scan readers. You fill out your ballot, put it in your envelope that has your name on it, and drop it into the ballot bin yourself.
Are there machines at the counting centers that can't read Sharpie?

A lot of ballots are two sided and sharpies bleed through the paper
In my district in PA, everyone was forced to use fine point sharpies...
