How Votes Were Counted Four Years Ago in Arizona, Florida and Pennsylvania
Images from voting centers in battleground states for The New York Times Magazine.
Welcome to In the Flash, a reader-supported publication about intent and creativity in photography.
Right before Trump declared Biden’s victory illegitimate and cast in doubt how voting is both conducted and counted, I spent three weeks traveling through Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania, photographing election centers for The New York Times Magazine. The feature story focused on mail by voting, and I got to see firsthand how ballots are collected, stored, sorted, and counted. It was assigned just a month before Trump’s claim of voting fraud, so the magnitude of the assignment didn’t occur to me until after the fact.
