Technicians were dispatched to polling sites across Maricopa County to fix dozens of malfunctioning vote tabulation machines.
The issue concerned Republicans that not every voter could cast his or her ballot.
As a result, the RNC sought a 3-hour extension for voting hours.
"Everyone is still getting to vote. No one has been disenfranchised," Bill Gates, chairman of the Maricopa County board of supervisors, told reporters following reports of equipment problems Tuesday morning.

Election officials stressed that the machines were not inaccurately reading ballots, but not accepting them at all. About 60 of the county's 223 voting locations reported related problems. Gates said technicians were "doing what they can to get these back online."
