State Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-AZ) claimed that Arizona’s voting systems violated President Donald Trump’s election integrity order, citing unreadable vote logs and machine-tabulated ballots. She urged a federal review to examine the state’s election security practices. Rogers also expressed concern over the transparency and reliability of Arizona’s voting infrastructure.
Rogers wrote, “Voting machines currently use ballot scanned images, digital markings and other encoded vote data to tabulate votes rather than counting the voter-verifiable, human-readable text.” She added, “This violates the intent of your order, which calls for the tabulation of votes based on what the voter can see—not what a machine interprets.”
Rogers said, “Arizona officials continue to claim compliance by using ADA touchscreen-printed machine ballots as ‘paper ballots,’ despite the fact they are not hand-marked and are encoded with digital vote instructions not visible to the voter.”
Rogers warned that Chinese-made components in voting machines pose risks and criticized Arizona’s acceptance of late ballots, arguing it violates federal law and defies Trump’s election mandates.
Rogers wrote, “Vendors operating in Arizona have acknowledged the use of Chinese-manufactured hardware in voting systems and support devices, raising serious concerns… to election infrastructure security.”
Rogers added, “Arizona still relies on self-attestation without consistently requiring documentary proof of citizenship for Federal elections.”
