Do Arizona counties provide live video feeds of ballots being tabulated?

Jordan Gerard, Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting
yes

Arizona law requires that ballot tabulation rooms have a live video feed. 

The law states there must be live feeds during statewide, county or legislative elections when ballots are present in the tabulation room at the counting center. Recordings of the video are maintained as public record by the county recorder or officer in charge of the election. A list of video feeds from all 15 Arizona counties is available on the secretary of state’s website.
