Phoenix vote-counting hub ready to shape America's political future
Next week Maricopa County starts its vote-count process that might decide next US president. This Arizona mega-countyʼs results could also determine which party gets Senate control
In downtown Phoenix a low-profile building (protected by chain-link fencing and concrete blocks) stands ready for its crucial role in American democracy: counting every single vote from Maricopa Countyʼs desert landscape
The vote-counting hub — surrounded by both stucco houses and towering saguaro cacti — will start its work next week on Nov 5th. Election staff are preparing for a slow-but-steady process that needs extra-careful attention
This mega-countyʼs position as Americas top swing region means its results could decide whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump becomes the next president. The counting centerʼs work will also affect which political party gets control of the Senate‚ making this location a double-hotspot for national politics
