Arizona Senate's recount of the 2020 presidential election ballots will be stopped temporarily Thursday for Phoenix Union graduation ceremonies.
The recount will stop Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday will be used to clear the floor of all the tables and equipment and prepare the space for graduations.
The graduations will begin Monday, May 17, and continue through May 20.
The ballots will be moved from the floor and stored somewhere on the state fairgrounds. The exact location is unknown at this time.
The #AZAudit will pause this Thursday after the 7pm shift to clear the floor for scheduled graduations. Will resume on the 24th. https://t.co/i0BvTr5UEm
