    CORRECT AF---The election was likely stolen long before any votes were cast.

    Unless it applies to your Party--then it's fair game.

    The comment I made to your paste

    The cheating is in the voter rolls
    Just because the votes cast match the voter rolls doesn't prove lack of fraud


    Do you believe that

    Arizona Republic: “A contractor hired by the Arizona Senate is reviewing Maricopa County’s 2020 election data from an undisclosed location in Montana, with no oversight from state or county officials.”

    Arizona Sec. of State Says Audit Could 'Produce the Result That They Want'
    https://www.newsweek.com/arizona-sec-state-says-audit-could-produce-result-that-they-want-1597484

    Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has said that the ongoing election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, has created an atmosphere "prime for cooking the books" in order to produce the organizers' desired outcome.


    Hobbs, a Democrat, spoke to CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday about the controversial audit of the 2020 presidential election results and discussed how it is being conducted.

    The Republican-controlled state legislature ordered the audit and it's being carried out by a company called Cyber Ninjas, which has no previous experience auditing elections.

    Tapper told Hobbs, "So let's talk about this 'fraudit' going on," before highlighting that organizers had been using blue and black pens as part of the process.

    "Your office thinks this is serious," Tapper said.

    "If you go into any tabulation center, you will not find a black or blue pen anywhere," Hobbs said.

    "You cannot have that color ink around live ballots. It can potentially alter a ballot. To avoid any error, there's only red pens in those rooms. We alerted early on a list of security measures we sent and said these should be followed when handling these ballots and equipment," she said.

    Hobbs added that her office had raised the issue of blue and black pens early in the audit but that they were still seeing the pens used, saying the audit was "continuing to ignore that and continuing to do this."

    The Democrat, who recently announced a run for governor of Arizona, told Tapper she wanted to highlight "the lack of procedures, the lack of best practices, the lack of anything in place that will lend to the credibility of whatever results they produce."

    "This does not even closely resemble what you would see in a legitimate post-election audit that was trying to verify election results," Hobbs said.

    "And we know that they are creating an atmosphere that is prime for cooking the books so that they can produce the result that they want to produce," she said.

    Organizers of the Maricopa County audit have been accused of pursuing conspiracy theories, including looking for bamboo fibers in ballots based on an unfounded claim that some ballots were shipped in from Asia. Two previous audits found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Maricopa County.

    Hobbs faced harassment and death threats as she attempted to defend the integrity of the election in Arizona. As secretary of state, she is the state's top election official. President Joe Biden won Arizona in 2020 by around 10,000 votes.

    Arizona Audit: 'Voting system data' was sent to a 'lab' in Montana and we don't know why
    An affiliate company of a subcontractor of the Maricopa County audit is reviewing county "voting system data" in a "lab" in Montana, prompting questions on security.

    Another strange twist in the 2020 Maricopa County Election audit has brought us to a remote location in Montana, for reasons that aren't abundantly clear at this point.

    What we know: A copy of the election data from Maricopa County's servers and hard drives was sent by controversial contractor CyberNinjas to the Montana home of a technology company president who accused the county of deleting a voter database.

    According to a note on the Arizona Secretary of State website, an observer for Katie Hobbs' office noted that the state Senate audit liaison, Ken Bennett, confirmed on May 24 that copies of voting system data were sent to a lab in Montana.

    “Something new comes up every single day," Hobbs said Thursday night. "This is one more thing.”

    The observer noted that Bennett did not specify what security measures were in place, what the lab in Montana is doing with the data or how long it will have the copies of voting system data.

    Thursday, Bennett confirmed to 12 News the data was shipped to Montana.

    The data is, according to Bennett, a copy of the data created by Dominion Voting Services from hard drives and servers that Maricopa County delivered to the state Senate in response to a subpoena. The data was then handed over to Cyber Ninjas, the controversial firm that is "auditing" the election records.

    "The original evidence was left completely intact," Bennett told 12 News. "A copy was taken to do whatever evaluation they are doing for Cyber Ninjas."

    It was shipped to a company called Cyber Technology Services.

    Azcentral.com Maricopa County reporter Jen Fifield reported on June 1 that Cyber Technology Services (CyTech) is an affiliate company of CyFIR LLC. CyFIR is a digital security company working as a subcontractor for Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based cybersecurity company that the Arizona Senate Republicans chose to run the audit.

    CyFIR CEO Ben Cotton is also listed as the CEO of CyTech, first pointed out by Fifield. CyTech is based in Montana, according to its website.

    Cotton is an election auditor who made and then later recanted a claim that Maricopa County officials might have deleted election files from their computers before handing them over as part of a legislative subpoena.


    NBC Montana reporter Maritsa Georgiou told 12 News on Thursday that the address to CyTech, listed on their website, shows up as a remote cabin in a part of Montana that doesn't have cell service.

    From Montana taxes, 12 News found that the incorporated address listed for CyTech is Cotton's home in Montana; however, the registered office for CyTech is in Manassas, Virginia.

    Where exactly this lab is located is not known.

    Georgiou of NBC Montana contacted Cotton, who said he couldn't answer any questions because he signed a non-disclosure agreement.

    12 News has reached out to Cotton for comment.

    "They're making it up as they go along," Hobbs said. "These things are all very concerning, and really undermine whatever results they might come up with."

    Hope a law enforcement agency or two is retooling to investigate these folks for potential fraud after they release their "findings."

    Don't they realize Trump can't pardon them?
