As Donald Trump pursues lawsuits in several states claiming voter irregularities, including in Arizona, an outlet has been created to field accounts from voters.

The website, Election2020Unmasked.com, was launched Friday. 

The Star News Network, which founded the site, said in a press release that it was created to combat the attempts by social media platforms and search engines to suppress information regarding the presidential election.

According to Financial Times, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Saturday alleging that thousands of votes have potentially been disenfranchised because votes marked with Sharpie pens were allegedly not being counted in Maricopa County, a claim county officials have denied.

Similar claims were made in a lawsuit filed by a group of voters on Nov. 4. However, the plaintiffs withdrew the lawsuit on Nov. 7 without providing a reason.

U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar has chimed in on the controversy and accused mainstream media of suppressing important facts related to the casting of votes in Arizona, Grand Canyon Times reported

Despite a number of complaints from voters over their Sharpie votes not being registered, Attorney General Mark Brnovich debunked the claims on Friday after investigating the matter.

Complaints first began to surface Wednesday night as Trump supporters gathered at the Maricopa County register's office to protest the ballot counting in Arizona and demanding that their votes be counted. 

Voters are being urged to check the status of their ballots at the Secretary of State’s website to ensure that their votes were registered.

The http://election2020unmasked.com site will focus on various examples of questionable election practices and examples of voting irregularities.  

Additionally, the page will feature a 24-hour tip line (615-747-1500) that people can call to report incidents they feel interfered with a free and fair election.

Members of the public can also send emails to tips@election2020unmasked.com.

Christina Botteri, executive editor of the Star News Network, said the hotline was launched amid concern over the transparency of this year’s election.  

"We agree with so many others that 2020 is the most important election in our lifetimes, and instead of an orderly vote-counting process, we are seeing a level of chaos we could never imagine," she said in a press release. "We are dedicated to bringing truth, transparency, and confidence to the election results - and we will not stop until we and the American people have exactly that."
