In Maricopa County, opponents of Sheriff Joe Arpaio are leading protests outside the Maricopa County Recorder's Office.

Thousands of the still to be counted ballots are in Maricopa County, and this group is hopeful that sheriff candidate Paul Penzone could take a win.

There should be protesters in both locations in the event they attempt to unload the ballots to the dumpsters.

they are delaying the count of over 600,000 votes in Arizona (mixture of absentee & provisional, sounds like). They are challenging each one. People are protesting. :
