About 100 mostly Pro-Trump demonstrators chanted and waved flags outside of the Maricopa County Recorder's Office in downtown Phoenix. A vote counting centre in Maricopa county, Arizona, found itself grappling with the dilemma of whether to pause work and close after a crowd of Republican supporters gathered outside – responding to claims on social media that votes likely to be for Trump would not be counted. Officials had to call the sheriff's department, but counters did not stop their work. It is too early to project the result in Arizona. The county, which includes the city of Phoenix, is considered a battleground in a traditionally Republican state.
