Researchers at the Voting Rights Lab have placed Maricopa County among the top three counties nationwide facing the highest risk of election interference. Out of thousands of regions analyzed in the 2026 Election Risk Heat Map, only Maricopa, alongside Fulton and Forsyth counties in Georgia, earned the maximum score of 100. The analysis evaluated multiple factors, including race competitiveness, election-related litigation, mail-in voting rates, ballot counting duration, and the presence of local officials or groups tied to election denialism. Local advocates emphasize that Maricopa's massive voter base and historical political pressure make ballot access exceptionally vulnerable. Recent local complications—ranging from registration status disputes involving the federal SAVE database and delayed mail ballots to polling place confusion and litigation—contributed significantly to the extreme risk designation.
