The Arizona Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday they are investigating the alleged sharpie scandal in Maricopa County.
Earlier today the story went viral after hundreds of GOP voters were given Sharpie pens to fill out their ballots.
This allegedly caused their ballots to be invalidated.
AZ update: apparently the use of sharpie pens in gop precincts is causing ballots to be invalidated. Could be huge numbers of mostly Trump supporters. More to come

I'm in Maricopa county and was given a sharpie. I thought it was weird since that's never happened. It DID bleed through to the other side. I have called to check on this and left a message. What more should I do?
