Early in-person voting is now underway in Arizona, and poll managers are reporting a sharp increase in turnout compared with 2016. President Trump has previously made repeated visits to Arizona and was set to campaign in Tucson and Flagstaff earlier this week. Speaking at an early voting location in the Phoenix suburb of Maryvale on Wednesday, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo urged voters to cast their ballots in the first week of early voting. The county saw 2,922 voters cast a ballot in person at the seven early voting sites currently up and running. Comparatively, in 2016, just 847 voters showed up on the first day of early voting, according to Fontes.
