Navajo Nation leaders want answers about Election Day chaos in Apache County

A week after Apache County faced polling site technical glitches on Election Day, the cause of the ballot chaos on the Navajo Nation remains unclear, though a poll book update the day before may have been a factor. On Tuesday, the Navajo Nation Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Apache County — its second since Election Day — after learning about delays in processing early ballots. “This is not the first time we’ve seen these kinds of issues in Apache County, and sadly, it’s been an ongoing pattern of disenfranchisement in previous elections,” said Speaker Crystalyne Curley. “The Navajo Nation will continue to fight for our voters, holding Apache County accountable until every Navajo voice is heard and every vote is counted.” Arlyssa D.
