This presents the possibility of yet another nightmare following Election Day on Nov. 8. By allowing already returned ballots to be pre-processed, states can ease the burden placed on election workers on and after Election Day. That pressure has already been applied to election workers across the country as they have received a steady stream of death threats from Trump-backing election deniers since the 2020 election. In a few of these cases, the county election boards needed to be taken to court to be forced to certify the election results. This could potentially give one of the many election-denying Arizona candidates extra time to whip up paranoia about the election results and put increased pressure on election workers.
