The Sharpie reference is tied to allegations of poll irregularities contained in an [[Arizona]] lawsuit alleging that ballots marked with the felt-tipped pens were rejected at some voting centers.  In one video posted to [[social media]], two women claimed that Sharpie-marked ballots were not being accepted but ballots marked with regular ballpoint pens were at one voting station.  “So, they’re invalidating votes is what they’re doing,” a man off-camera taking the video says.  “Yes,” one woman, also off-camera, responded.  “I used your pen and then I brought it back to you and I said give this to somebody because it works,” a woman on-camera said.  “Yes, yes, and so we know that, and we’ve been telling them, ‘You need to use a ballpoint pen, not the Sharpie,’ and now those are getting invalidated,” said the man.  On Election Day, Maricopa County officials claimed in a video posted to social media that Sharpies are okay to use when marking ballots despite current state guidance indicating felt-tip markers not be used for ballots.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/11/06/michigan-ag-pleads-with-residents-to-stop-telling-staff-to-shove-sharpies-up-their-rear-ends-993535</ref>
