Election officials reported delays in vote counting following unsubstantiated bomb threats at some polling locations.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (Democrat) said that he believed it was a probing attack. A probing attack is when a malicious actor stimulates a system in order to observe it’s response in a reconnaissance operation. Fontes stated: “We also have reason to believe, although we won’t get into the specifics, that this comes from one of our foreign enemies, namely Russia.”

Several politically motivated fabrications have been issued by democrats under the “Russian Collusion Hoax” as identified by President Elect Donald Trump and his supporters. Pinal Post waits for the confirmation of evidence that Russia is interfering with Arizona elections.

Secretary Fontes has been in several legal battles against Pinal County. He had tried to insert last minute updates to the Elections Procedure Manual as well as force Pinal County to reprogram their election machines right before the election. He was also accused by a judge of changing the number of affected voters from the MVD glitch “after lunch.”
