A judge just issued an order this hour (7:00 p.m. MST) to extended voting at several polling locations in Arizona's Apache County after reports at nine polling locations in the rural county that includes part of the Copper state's Navajo Nation reservation, that printers failed to work properly.

Journalist Jen Fifield wrote at the Arizona edition of VoteBeat, a nonprofit news organization:

Apache County, in the northeast corner of Arizona, was working to fix problems it was experiencing with its ballot-on-demand printers, Elections Director Rita Vaughan confirmed at around 10 a.m. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said at 3 p.m. that most locations were now “up and running well,” but there were still some residual issues.

The Navajo Nation Department of Justice office received reports that the problems were causing long lines, and that voters were leaving because they did not want to wait, according to Katherine Belzowski, an assistant attorney general for the Navajo Nation Department of Justice.

...

The Navajo Nation is a closely watched area of the swing state, after high turnout from the area contributed to Joe Biden’s win in 2020. The Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, visited late last month to rally the vote.

Fifield reported earlier that the Navajo Nation was preparing to file suit, after "some voters were told to leave and come back," and "some waited 2-3 hours to vote," according to the Navajo Department of Justice.

As this is a developing story, RedState will provide updates as they become available.
