BREAKING: Pinal County election director David Frisk is out of a job following Tuesday's primary election errors, including many precincts running out of ballots: abc15
PINAL COUNTY, AZ — Pinal County's elections director, David Frisk, is"no longer employed" with the county, according to a release today.
The news comes two days after the Arizona primary election, where Pinal County saw several issues related to ballot availability. More than 20 Pinal County voting centers either completely ran out or were very short on in-person ballots Tuesday. On Wednesday, officials spoke publicly about the issue and cited human error for the ballot shortages. One official said they had a higher amount of people requesting day of, in-person ballots, and Independents requesting Republican ballots because so many Democrats were running unopposed in major races.
“As a Board, we are deeply embarrassed and frustrated by the mistakes that have been made in this primary election, and as such, we are taking immediate steps to ensure the November election runs smoothly, as elections in Pinal County have historically done prior to this primary,” said Jeffrey McClure, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
