Things like that are unheard of in our entire history of elections, therefore comes off sketchy as hell to many people.

McSally had a 161-vote lead and declared victory on November 12, 2014, but because the margin of victory was less than 1%, an automatic recount was called on December 1.[33] On December 17, the official recount declared McSally the winner by 167 votes.
Not unheard of in Arizona.

When ballots arrive downtown, the work begins in a process that includes matching signatures on envelopes with signature samples on file. The ballots zip over to bipartisan teams that remove them from envelopes and then send them to tabulation. Video cameras transmit feeds that voters can watch online. In recent years, Trump, other Republican candidates and activists attacked the early voting system and instructed supporters to vote in person or to drop off their ballots on Election Day.
Voters listened. This year 290,000 people returned their early ballots at polling locations on Election Day instead of returning them earlier, a 70 percent increase from the last record in 2020. Those ballots had to be transported to downtown Phoenix from across the county, and election workers could not begin processing them until after Election Day.
Idk man this all seems pretty normal by AZ standards.
