Maricopa County Republican Committee Chair says heavily Republican vote center in Mesa appears to have been 'sabotaged' Arizona Insiders interviewed Maricopa County Republican Committee Chair Craig @berland13125 today about the upcoming election, and he told us that it appears the fire alarm that was pulled at a heavily Republican voting center in Mesa yesterday was likely due to sabotage. He also told us that, after the ACLU complained, poll workers at the vote centers are no longer allowed to suggest to voters carrying mail-in ballots that they can show ID to avoid having their ballots go through the signature verification process.
