Both sides set aside their talking points during the meeting, with no emphasis from Republicans on unproven theories of stolen elections, according to video snippets shared with Votebeat, and no stonewalling from Democrats.

It’s difficult to tell exactly how many crossover votes are cast in Michigan’s August primaries — the state doesn’t keep track of the number, and neither do many of the counties Votebeat surveyed.

Votebeat and AZCIR mailed letters to all 1,798 Maricopa County voters who had their ballots rejected for this reason, analyzed who they are and spoke to more than a dozen of them about their experience.

Votebeat initially launched as a pop-up newsroom for a few months during the 2020 election—and published almost 200 articles with local news partners.
