Wow and Cali just had its first surplus budget in many years. They were talking about maybe using the bonus money for school education and needed climate solutions in California. Now all that bonus money is going to be eaten up by this stupid recall in which the people couldn't just wait until an election year to vote him out. #wasteofmoney wrbtrader
GOP lawyer uses escrow account to funnel $1 million to Arizona election audit https://www.rawstory.com/arizona-audit-cleta-mitchell-shiva-ayyadurai/
Arizona GOP Hired Anti-Vaccine Vote Conspiracist ‘Dr. Shiva’ For Sham Election Audit Failed Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai has claimed he invented email and that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a “deep state” operative. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/shiv...cyber-ninjas-audit_n_61358399e4b0df9fe2783ead Newly released records relating to the Arizona GOP’s partisan audit of the 2020 election results reveal that an anti-vaccine election conspiracy theorist and failed U.S. Senate candidate known as “Dr. Shiva” was brought in on the operation. The state’s Republican Senate and its ballot-recount contractor Cyber Ninjas separately hired Shiva Ayyadurai — or “Dr. Shiva” as he is known to his far-right fans — to help evaluate presidential ballots in Maricopa County, which backed Joe Biden, according to records released Aug. 31, The Arizona Republic and Vice reported. Ayyadurai baselessly ranted back in November 2020 that the election was stolen from Donald Trump. He also accused National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci last year of being a “deep state” operative, has baselessly promoted vitamin C as a treatment for COVID-19, and says he invented email. Ayyadurai is not a medical doctor Cyber Ninjas CEO and QAnon acolyte Doug Logan has similarly repeated the same election lie, and claimed that any Arizona audit would inevitably turn up “hundreds of thousands” of hidden votes for Trump. The 2.1 million Maricopa County votes have been checked and rechecked by actual election officials in the state, headed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey, and were deemed completely legitimate. The Cyber Ninjas audit, popularly known as a “fraudit,” was supposed to be completed in mid-May. The company has yet to issue any report on what it came up with. Audit spokesperson and former Arizona GOP Chair Randy Pullen defended the state Senate’s decision to hire Ayyadurai in an interview with the Arizona Republic on Friday. “Everybody has controversies. Is he knowledgeable and experienced enough to do the work?” Pullen asked. “I’ve talked to him. I’m confident he knows what he is doing and he is trustworthy.” He claimed Ayyadura has conducted signature reviews for banks. The newspaper found one of Ayyadurai’s contracts among thousands of documents ordered released by local court last month. Thousands of documents still must be made public under the court order. In other documents, the Republic discovered that rightwing attorney Cleta Mitchell helped set up an escrow account to funnel some $1 million to subcontractors working for the Cyber Ninjas. Mitchell was on the post-election phone call in which Trump ordered Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to turn Trump’s defeat into a victory. Mitchell determined the presidential election was fraudulent event before it was held, according to several statements she made at a conference last year where participants were already planning how to challenge results where Trump lost. Meanwhile, canvassers are continuing to knock on Maricopa County doors to grill residents about their votes in a wild bid to overturn the presidential election. Some have claimed that they’re not working for the Cyber Ninjas company. The firm wanted to hire canvassers, but was warned by the Department of Justice earlier this year that such an action could be considered illegal voter intimidation. In June, canvassers falsely represented themselves as government officials. The canvassing has been arranged at least in part by Arizona Republican Liz Harris, a former candidate for office and a key supporter of the Cyber Ninjas audit. But she insisted none of her canvassers were pretending to be county officials. The brazenly partisan Cyber Ninjas audit has involved such jaw-dropping moments as workers examining ballots for traces of bamboo in a crazed bid to prove the Chinese hacked the votes. And truckloads of voter data were spirited away to a cabin in the Montana woods, 1,300 miles from where the votes were cast. Critics say the audit and security have been so corrupted that no one can trust that the votes, data and even voting machines have remained unaltered. Maricopa County last month sent a $2.8 million bill to the state Senate to replace voting machines officials suspect have been tampered with. The Arizona vote was certified more than nine months ago after several official recounts failed to find any irregularities. Biden beat Trump by 10,457 votes in the state, edging out Trump by more than 2 percentage points ― about 45,000 votes ― in Maricopa County.
Dear Leader must be thinking as long as he's making money of his base , then why not. Pennsylvania's first election 'audit' hearing flops after testimony 'didn’t actually find any election issues' On Thursday, Pennsylvania kicked off the latest GOP-backed partisan ballot "audit" seeking to find voting irregularities in a state that former President Donald Trump narrowly lost. But according to BuzzFeed News, the first day of hearings ended in an awkward failure for proponents of Trump's "Big Lie," as their key witness "didn't actually find any election issues." This comes as Arizona is wrapping up its state senate-backed "audit" of Maricopa County, where a hired pro-Trump Florida security company known as "Cyber Ninjas" chased conspiracy theories like hunting for bamboo in the ballots.
Thats why one investigates....Its binary...either something or nothing there...... You should be concerned with those who proclaim "nothing to investigate , its a big lie" without actually investigating...those are usually the suspects...
Then get some competent people to do the investigating.........at the least. Trump's 'wildly incompetent' Arizona audit hits a new low: report "These people are wildly incompetent," Flach commented. The Trump-backed Arizona "audit" of the 2020 presidential election is still not over, but a political analyst at local Arizona news station ABC 15 this week caught the "auditors" in an embarrassing new error. As reported by Vice News, one of the auditors this week released a report claiming that two of the votes cast in the 2020 election were mailed in from what she claimed was a vacant lot in the Maricopa County city of Goodyear. However, ABC 15's Garrett Archer quickly discovered that the supposed vacant lot was not vacant at all, and actually features a large house with a swimming pool. Tuscon resident Andy Flach followed up on Archer's reporting and used the Maricopa Assessor's website to learn that the address listed as a supposedly "vacant lot" is "a single family residence" whose owners' names match up with voter registration records. "These people are wildly incompetent," Flach commented.
We've seen this script before...call it a rigged election before the election so that you can then request an audit if you lose the election. https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article254078633.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...n-newsom-donald-trump-voter-fraud/5778088001/ https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/09/trump-california-recall-rigged-511025 It's good money into the pockets of the GOP but bad for membership because the GOP typically loses members as fraud allegations are prolonged...let this play out.
