00:00
Still reeling from vote-rigging conspiracies from the last presidential election,
00:05
Arizona's Pinal County is taking transparency to the next level.
00:10
At this newly built election center, visitors can come to watch vote-counting in a glass room
00:16
nicknamed the fish tank, while dozens of cameras are trained on the space,
00:20
which live-stream on the internet.
00:23
Anyone, any time, can observe the process from start to finish.
00:27
They can observe our security measures that we've put in place to ensure that there's no tampering going on.
00:32
It's hoped this $32 million election center will restore residents' trust in the election process.
00:39
Arizona was a close race in 2020, with President Joe Biden beating Donald Trump by around 10,500 votes.
00:47
The delay in the counting sparked protests, and the narrow margin fueled conspiracy theories,
00:53
including that 40,000 ballots were flown in from Asia.
00:57
This Republican believes that vote drop-off boxes were stuffed in 2020,
01:02
an assertion for which there's no evidence, though he feels this year will be a lot smoother.
01:08
They're very transparent, and I feel confident that whatever the outcome of this election is, I feel it's fair.
01:16
While some analysts believe the transparency strategy is working to convince some election doubters,
01:22
it can only go so far in a country where procedures differ from state to state,
01:26
and where distrust in institutions is growing.
01:29
According to a Pew Research Center study published in August,
01:33
less than half of Republicans are confident that this presidential election will be conducted fairly.
