CNN reports that electoral staff in Maricopa have begun to design an exit strategy, because there is “an armed herd” outside the polling stations. According to the news channel, the cashiers are trying to quickly exit the building.
Escorted

According to the ABC15 television channel, the protesters began to gather at 7.30 pm local time, and then tried to enter the polling stations. A couple of them arrived at one point and asked questions about the vote count before being asked to leave the building.
Additionally, Trump supporters in attendance also made a series of expressions of discontent with journalists covering the vote count. CNN reports that journalists must be escorted out of the armed police, while protesters yell “You are fake news!”
– Count the votes
The largest crowd, which at one point was about 200 people, shouts slogans like “Count the votes!” And according to NBC News, there has been a very broad atmosphere in the place. They have also sung the Village People song “YMCA,” which has been a recurring theme at President Trump’s election campaign rallies.
TV 2 declared Joe Biden the winner of Arizona as the first Democrat since 1996. In the United States, media companies such as Fox News and the Associated Press have also declared Biden the winner, a victory that will give the Democrat 11 voters. Both President Donald Trump and his supporters are very unhappy with the decision and are demanding that Fox withdraw it. Trump has indicated that there are several votes to be counted, which is also the message to those present outside the Maricopa polling stations.
We left the Maricopa Electoral Center. Staff say they have NOT been evacuated and will remain there until the results are released. That said, by the time our team left, the crowd of protesters claiming that the vote was being stolen from the president had grown larger and louder. @NBCNews

At 0630 Norwegian time on Thursday morning, AZ Central writes that the demonstrations have begun to subside and that the sheriff’s office has begun escorting poll workers to their cars.
NBC journalist Gadi Schwartz, on the other hand, denies it on Twitter.
– We left the Maricopa electoral college. The employees have not been evacuated and will remain there until the result is released, Scwartz writes.
