PHOENIX (AP) Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year s presidential election, further discrediting former President Donald Trump s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state s most populous county.
