Get those mail in ballots in before election day. [View all]

Even though I placed my ballot in one of Maricopa's drop boxes two weeks before the due day I vow to do better next year.

One of the reasons that it is taking Arizona so long to tabulate the votes is that many people brought their mail in ballot to one of the 223 boxes on election day. The signatures must be verified and they look at the date before counting the ballot.
At least that is what I have learned in the last two press conferences the county has held.
