That's what started all of this... GOP appointed judges or GOP election officials said "show me evidence of widespread fraud" if you're going to stand in front of me and complain about widespread election fraud. Those with their conspiracy theories either had no evidence or the only evidence they had was NOT widespread nor could it impact any election results. One example was Rudy Giuliani talking about 1700 fraud ballots on CNN and other news networks...court realized his BIG LIE when it was discover to only be just ONE. The result...eventually Rudy Giuliani lost his law license, his son got ZERO votes in a challenge for New York Governor even with the support of Trump and Giuliani himself is being investigated concerning his dealings when he represented Trump in foreign affairs. The conspiracy theorists then decided if the judges and election officials don't like our hearsay evidence...lets than do our own partisan audits (clown shows) by our own conspiracy theorist so that we can gather whatever evidence we find...to hopefully then take the evidence back to the GOP appointed judges. Other's tried a different route as a publicity stunt...offering 1 million dollar bounties for proof of widespread election fraud. Unfortunately for them, the only takers were by people that had proof that Trump supporters were primarily doing the fraud although not widespread. I think they should have done what some states are currently doing with the Covid Vaccinations... Offer the possibility to win a free college education if someone can find evidence (not hearsay) of widespread voter fraud that can change the election result. I think they're afraid to do something like that considering the then President Trump back in 2020 that publicly stated at several rallies to his followers to go to the polls "twice" with a shitty grin on his face as he said it. Later double down on the comments by Donald Trump Jr. #bonehead Now they're making threats...threatening to cause violence and civil war like some temper tantrum crybaby on the floor of Walmart if Trump is not reinstated by August. They're doing all this crap in 2021 because they know what will happen if they do this in 2022... GOP will lose seats in the mid-term elections. wrbtrader
A proper, professional election auditing firm properly documents a clear chain of custody and provides a complete change list for each machine in compliance with auditing standards. Cyber Ninjas did none of this and now all the voting machines need to be tossed in the trash. GOP audit forces Arizona county to replace all machines compromised by Cyber Ninjas https://www.rawstory.com/arizona-audit-machines/ The controversial Arizona audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County is forcing the state's largest jurisdiction to replace voting equipment before the November, 2021 election. "The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors informed Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs that any equipment that was handed over for the State Senate's audit of the 2020 General Election will not be used in future elections," ABC 15 reports. In May, Hobbs had written to express her concerns that the legitimacy of the machines had been compromised. "I am writing to express my concerns about Maricopa County's election equipment that was turned over to Senate President Karen Fann and Senator Warren Petersen and their agent, Cyber Ninjas, pursuant to the January 12, 2021 subpoena, including components of the certified Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5B voting system," Hobbs wrote. "I have grave concerns regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas' control." In responding to Hobbs, Maricopa County said, "The Board shares your concerns." It is not known how much it will cost the county to replace the machines.
They should sue Cyber Ninjas, Senate President Karen Fann and Senator Warren Petersen for the replacement cost.
I hope Cyber Ninjas tells the GOP that's its not going to pay for any replacement machines that they tamper (open up) with during their audit. Next, hopefully the GOP will say no problem...will just bill the Arizona tax payers for the costs. wrbtrader
I seem to recall reading one of the disenfranchisement strategies of this recount was precisely that, to reduce the total number of voting machines by compromising them. Basically the DeJoy mail sorting/mail box strategy.
Unless CyberNinjas got some competent Russian help in rigging the machines for the next election -- then the best they could do is drool and smear boogers all over them.
I'll be breathless waiting for the release of the final report from the Arizona Audit. I just can't wait to find out if bamboo fibers were found in some of the paper the ballots were printed on.
At the next so called "Forensic Audit"...they'll be looking for fingerprints on the ballots that do not match the person that signed the ballot. wrbtrader
