The Arizona "Audit"

If it were not for the RINO liberals involved in various states who hate President Donald Trump, they actually allowed cheating on a massive scale, sometimes thru their own hands. The Maricopa county officials in Arizona is one group. The RINO governor and Secretary of State in Georgia is another. Numerous irregularities were allowed to happen which all favored Joe Biden. That is what we should be concerned about in the coming midterm elections. Although, President Donald Trump is out of the picture, candidates who he endorsed for Congress could be the next victims. None of these perpetrators even investigated, the Arizona audit was incomplete because the electronic devices were not surrendered by Maricopa county officials to the Arizona auditors even today. They wasted tens of millions of dollars fighting the Arizona audit instead, of just cooperating? What are they hiding? I expect the same culprits to do the same thing in the coming midterm elections. That is the safest assumption we can make. I just hope Republicans thrash the Democrats soundly, in other states with honest election officials.

EXCELLENT ANALYSIS

Democrats tied the Senate at 50-50 with the wins by Ossoff, Warnock in Georgia and Kelly in Arizona. That is why honest elections are important. Republicans probably, should still have the majority in the Senate if the votes cast were properly counted, the invalid votes (voters who moved and still cast votes, dead people voting, signatures does not match those in voter records, etc.) invalidated for both the states of Arizona and Georgia. RINO election officials in both states had a heavy hand in the elections and stymied efforts to investigate the voting irregularities. Why?

76 Out of 77 Claims Made By Cyber Ninjas in Arizona Audit Were Bullshit, Maricopa County Officials Find
"At the heart of these inaccuracies is a basic misunderstanding or ignorance of election laws and procedures,"election offical wrote in a 93-page rebuttal
https://gizmodo.com/76-out-of-77-claims-made-by-cyber-ninjas-in-arizona-aud-1848315798

Cyber Ninjas, the questionably ninja-like company that failed to prove Donald Trump’s bullshit claims that he lost the state of Arizona during the 2020 elections thanks to voter fraud in Maricopa County, may have consigned itself to the dustbin of history for now. But before you forget about it entirely, the county’s election officials released a lengthy report this week savaging the firm for breathtaking incompetence.

For those whose memory needs a jog, the Cyber Ninjas situation was thus: Republicans in the Arizona Senate, eager to win favor from Trump, commissioned an “audit” of the state’s vote over the opposition of Maricopa County election officials who had already verified the integrity of the vote (and who themselves are mostly Republicans). As there was no legitimate reason to suspect any kind of mass voter fraud in the county—but voters there were critical to Joe Biden’s victory in the state—it was clear from the start that said audit would be little more than an exercise in delegitimizing the outcome. Notably, the 2020 vote had already been certified by state officials, meaning it couldn’t be retroactively changed under any circumstances.

Senate Republicans didn’t do themselves any favors by contracting Cyber Ninjas, a little-known political firm run by QAnon aficionado Doug Logan, to pull off the audit. Cyber Ninjas initially tried to keep their process for the audit secret, and it was very apparent why: It involved major security lapses, use of untrained and partisan volunteers to scan for nonexistent UV watermarks, racist boogeymen like allegedly bamboo-tainted ballots from China, invocation of questionable science about “kinematic markers” on ballots, and both bitter bouts with local election officials and internal infighting. After months of wasting everyone’s time and blowing a reported $9 million in funds, Cyber Ninjas eventually released a report basically affirming the outcome of the vote. (However, it continued to fight in court to withhold records on the process used to write it.)

The 93-page Maricopa County rebuttal makes clear that Cyber Ninjas’s final findings remained riddled with flaws. According to CNN, in the presentation to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, local election officials said that the audit had revealed one genuine screwup: Some 50 ballots had been double-counted by a temp worker. But Cyber Ninjas advanced some 76 other claims in the report—among other things, finding that roughly 53,000 ballots out of 2.1 million cast were suspect in some manner, including over 23,000 ballots the firm said were from people who had changed addresses.

Of those 76 other claims, the report by Maricopa County election officials states, 22 were misleading, 41 were inaccurate, and 13 were “demonstrably false and can be proven false using materials provided to the Senate.” For example, to come up with the 23,000 figure, officials said that Cyber Ninjas simply ignored that some residents of Arizona have the same name and birth date.

“The County reviewed voters from these seven data sets and found that the methodologies and claims were inaccurate” using additional information like social security numbers,the rebuttal reads. “The analysis that Cyber Ninjas performed relied on the use of a third-party commercial database. The combination of the use of this commercial database and the soft matching techniques are likely a key reason Cyber Ninjas made incorrect conclusions.”

Election officials wrote that Cyber Ninja’s analysis relied on “faulty conclusions about voters who moved, early voting files, certified results, voter registration information, the County’s ballot duplication processes, and ballots for military and overseas voters. At the heart of these inaccuracies is a basic misunderstanding or ignorance of election laws and procedures.”

Later, the report attacks methodology introduced by Shiva Ayyadurai, a self-proclaimed election fraud expert who has launched lawsuits (including one against former Gizmodo parent company Gawker Media that was settled for $750,000 in 2016, and a failed one against TechDirt) against those who question his claim to be the original inventor of email. Ayyadurai has run for Congress twice, according to the Daily Beast, which reported his campaigns involved cozying up to white nationalists and false claims of destroyed ballots. The Cyber Ninjas audit team quietly enlisted his firm, EchoMail, to help with the effort.

“EchoMail’s analysis of the early ballot affidavit images is misleading at best,” local election officials wrote. “The ‘anomalies’ EchoMail uncovered are due to a flawed understanding of signature verification laws and practices.”

“EchoMail’s analysis did not consider the signature curing process, which is when a voter corrects a signature issue by contacting the Elections Department,” the report continued. “The thousands of ‘duplicate’ early ballot envelope images that EchoMail claimed were ‘anomalies’ have a simple answer. As voters cure signature issues, the Elections Department takes another image of the envelope. Only one ballot was counted for each envelope.”

Election officials added that EchoMail’s findings included “misleading claims” about the way county officials verify signatures on ballots, “which has been proven accurate in court,” and are based on misunderstandings of Arizona election laws.

“It’s been debunked and it was written by people who are not experts in the field,” Bill Gates, the chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, told CNN. “We’re done. This is the end of the 2020 election. We have addressed the issues; we have debunked them.”

CNN wrote that representatives for Doug Logan did not respond to their request for comment, while a communications director for Arizona Senate president and key audit backer Karen Fann said she hadn’t yet watched the presentation.

While this should serve as a huge embarrassment to all parties involved, Republican legislators in Arizona probably aren’t sweating it much. According to the Phoenix New Times, redrawn state electoral maps for the next decade have the GOP set to dominate the state legislature and U.S. House of Representatives delegation, drawing accusations of gerrymandering.

I now understand and support CyberNinja's shutting down even though they did give us all some great laughs.

Their funding must have dried up very fast after their audit verified that Trump was the loser because its something that's unacceptable by the cult supporters of Trump that continues to this day using the BIG LIE to divide America and weaken Democracy.

Let's see what Arizona idiot, Wendy Rogers, is up to...

Arizona Lawmaker Retweets Push to Celebrate Confederate Generals on MLK Day, Days After Speaking at Trump Rally
https://www.mediaite.com/politics/a...n-mlk-day-days-after-speaking-at-trump-rally/

Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-AZ) retweeted white nationalist Scott Greer on Monday calling for celebrating Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

Greers’ call to celebrate Confederate generals came on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, in an apparent message to his supporters that he believes in the tenants of the Confederacy over those the slain civil rights leader.

Rogers retweeted the controversial message just days after she spoke at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Florence, Arizona.

“Arizona is a red state,” Rogers declared during the rally. “We are not turning purple.”

The Arizona lawmaker, who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory and pushed allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, also led the crowd in chanting “decertify” during the rally.

Rogers, a freshman legislator who is running for re-election, announced last week that she raised an eye-popping $2.5 million in 2021.

No stranger to controversy the former Air Force pilot and die-hard Trump supporter has previously shared posts from notorious white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

Of course things are not complete without a few comments from this idiot...

Prison sentences for this but not for violent rioters in 2020? Very anti-American view.

I support lengthy prison sentences for these GOP fraudsters who undermine our democracy, the violent BLM/ANTIFA rioters in 2020, and the violent January 6th insurrectionists. Lock them all up.

Put them all together in prison on an island including those like Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani, and Trump...

I wonder which of them will start a riot in prison ???

My bet is on ANTIFA and Rudy Giuliani becoming the queen bitches in prison that control all the other prisoners.

If a Republican wins the 2024 Presidential election...the person will pardon everyone at that island prison except for BLM/ANTIFA and then announce their decision about the pardons containing no bias.
