Retired election experts again offer Senate a way to check Maricopa County ballot counts https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...up-reiterates-offer-check-ballots/7941340002/ Three retired election experts who have assailed the review of Maricopa County ballots by a Florida company with no experience are again offering their work as a check on a new tally sought by the Arizona state Senate. For more than a month, a Pima County Republican and two former officials with Boston-based Clear Ballot Group have sought to have Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, compare their box-by-box breakdown of Maricopa County’s ballots to the box counts put together by Cyber Ninjas. Last week Fann ordered a separate count of the 2.1 million ballots from the county using high-speed paper counters as a way to roughly check the Cyber Ninjas’ work. It will only count the number of ballots, not tally the votes for each candidate. In a letter Monday, the retired officials praised Fann for seeking more independent corroboration but again suggested Arizona make use of their more sophisticated method. Neither Fann nor former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who is serving as the media liaison to the ballot review, could be reached Monday to comment on whether Fann has any interest in the latest offer. Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the Senate review effort, chuckled at the offer and declined. “We already did that,” he said, adding the audit team has a complete spreadsheet laid out with all the numbers of ballots in the boxes. “This is not complicated." The officials have offered the reconstruction of Maricopa County’s certified results in a way that accounts for all the votes in all 1,600 boxes — a way the county didn’t track. “Without independent ballot and vote counts by box, the Cyber Ninja’s two-month-long recount cannot be audited,” their letter said. “However, all is not lost. We have taken it upon ourselves to create an independent comparison against the official results. “Using only publicly available data and with no access to the ballots, we have assigned 2,089,563 ballots into 10,341 batches (of approximately 200 ballots each) and grouped them into 1,634 storage boxes that now sit on 45 pallets.” If the ballots were put back in the boxes the same way Cyber Ninjas’ workers took them out, the numbers should perfectly match Clear Ballot’s count, the letter predicted. The letter came from Benny White, a prominent Pima County Republican data analyst; Larry Moore, the founder of Clear Ballot; and Tim Halvorsen, Clear Ballot's retired chief technology officer. Does recount show doubts exist? The ballot review of the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona’s most populous county has served as a national political spectacle during the ongoing efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to undermine the result of the election. As a sign of what they are offering, the letter-writers included some of the data they have analyzed. In an interview Monday, Moore said he thinks Fann's decision to seek a count of the number of ballots in each box itself is a sign of concern over what the Cyber Ninjas might report for results. "If you read between the lines, they don't trust the Ninjas' count," he said. Moore said the Senate's purchase of the paper counters, along with a comparison to the box-by-box results Clear Ballot produced, would spotlight any disparities with the Cyber Ninjas results when they are published. The group initially offered to let the Senate Republicans running the audit select an unopened box of ballots (any box), and the team would within minutes provide an accurate count of each race on all 1,000 or so ballots inside. They proposed to do this without ever opening it or stepping foot in Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where the Cyber Ninjas' ballot review unfolded. Fann's ballot count is taking place at the Wesley Bolin building. The Senate did not take them up on the challenge.
According to Joe, 150 Americans voted in the election. Seems like it should be easy to do a recount and audit then.
House Dems decide they've given the Cyber Ninjas enough rope... House Oversight Dems Request Records From Arizona ‘Auditor’ Cyber Ninjas https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...est-records-from-arizona-auditor-cyber-ninjas Two senior Democrats on the House Oversight Committee want answers from the company running the politicized “audit” of Maricopa County, Arizona’s 2020 election results. House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who chairs the panel’s subcommittee on civil rights to civil liberties, wrote to Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan — who before this past election had no experience in the world of election administration — with a lengthy request for information. “We are concerned about your company’s role in this highly unusual effort, given Cyber Ninjas’ apparent lack of experience in conducting election-related audits; reports that the company engaged in sloppy and insecure audit practices that compromised the integrity of ballots and voting equipment and were questioned by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ); and evidence that you and other individuals funding the audit have sought to advance the ‘big lie’ of debunked voter fraud allegations in the November 2020 presidential election,” they wrote. The audit has, in fact, been a disaster, running on weeks past its initial deadline, and costing Maricopa County millions of dollars in voting machines that the county decided to replace due to concerns about the auditors’ handling of them. Logan, who’s posted wild conspiracy theories online about the 2020 election and had previous ties to the QAnon-supporting pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, hasn’t been shy about his views — even appearing in a conspiracy theory documentary starring one of the primary fundraisers for the audit, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne. “Your company’s actions also may have introduced significant errors into the audit process,” Maloney and Raskin wrote to Logan, noting recent comments from state Senate President Karen Fann (R) — who authorized the audit and selected Cyber Ninjas for the job in the first place — said Tuesday that the “audit” vote numbers don’t match the county’s sum. The committee asked for more than two pages of materials from Cyber Ninjas, including records on the company’s ownership and past election experience, funding mechanisms for the audit, and “all documents and communications related to conducting the Maricopa County Audit.” It also asked for all communications the company had with a long list of people, including the former president and members of his administration, campaign, legal team or political action committee, representatives of the various groups privately fundraising for the audit, and others including Sidney Poewll, Michael Flynn and Mike Lindell. They also asked for records related to allegations that Cyber Ninjas has investigated as part of the audit — including searching for bamboo and watermarks in ballot paper. A spokesperson for Cyber Ninjas didn’t respond to TPM’s request for comment on the letter. The Oversight Committee set a July 28 deadline to produce the requested documents.
Should be interesting when they do a machine recount using other machines, not those of Dominion Voting Systems. No wonder, the RINOs and Democrats were objecting to a ballot audit, as discrepancies with the count have come out. https://www.yahoo.com/news/arizona-senate-president-says-2020-012100677.html
Hilarious, You guys still looking for a miracle to save the man that guided you down this path you're currently trapped in...trapped in a cult...blindly following the village idiot that has no moral courage. Reminder, there have been prior Arizona Audits and that's why many are laughing at this current audit and will continue laughing at the next audits in Arizona after the current one. By the way, currently, some Republicans are trying to put the foundation for "another audit in Arizona" as I stated and laughed about such that it would happen when the current audit finds "no widespread fraud" to overturn the Arizona election results. The Arizona Audit is just a way to keep the Big Lie alive and the energize the crazies going into the 2022 mid-terms. Oh...the prior audits also found discrepancies...less than 100 votes and many on the Republican side...another reason for the laughter. Simply, the shit hit the fan the first week of the election when sore losers can't accept getting their butt kicked by Democrats and Republicans that didn't like Trump...they actually encourage other Republicans to vote Trump out of office in hopes they can get a better start in 2024 without bullshit. More idiots that encourage an insurrection on Democracy on January 6th, 2021 via not willing to accept whom the majority voted for nor willing to accept the prior audit results nor accept recounts. In the meantime, I highly recommend you spend your time defeating Covid before the Delta Variant causes more problems for people under 50 years old and a crisis in the hospital system...too many people and businesses not doing their patriotic duty to defeat Covid. #stopconspiracytheories #stopthebiglie #cyberninjacomedy #stopthecrazies wrbtrader
Fraudit Fallout Arizona Ballot Review Splits GOP Arizona Voter Registration Data 2021: Republicans...17,467 have left the party Democrats....2,445 have left the party Independents...increased 52,216 That difference if it remains similar going into the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election...guarantees that Arizona will again go BLUE. All of it thanks to the circus show audit that Democrats are not worried about...they're laughing and may send Christmas cards to the Cyber Ninja firm in December 2024. ---------- The nationwide story is similar. In California, more than 33,000 registered Republicans left the party during the three weeks after the Washington riot. In Pennsylvania, more than 12,000 voters left the G.O.P. in the past month and more than 10,000 Republicans changed their registration in Arizona. An analysis of January voting records by The New York Times found that nearly 140,000 Republicans had quit the party in 25 states that had readily available data (19 states do not have registration by party). Voting experts said the data indicated a stronger-than-usual flight from a political party after a presidential election, as well as the potential start of a damaging period for G.O.P. registrations as voters recoil from the Capitol violence and its fallout. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/politics/republicans-leaving-party.html ---------- I say there should be more fraudit through the 2022 mid-terms and into the 2024 Presidential Elections. wrbtrader
People do cheat in US elections and this is one more reason, we need more safeguards and not less. You cannot trust people to do the right thing. How can you not know that you already cast your vote? These people need to be locked up in jail to teach them a lesson as well as other cheaters out there. Chances are good that more people vote more than once. Democrat activists caught by Project Veritas admitted on video that they cheated and voted multiple times. Of course, they did not know they were being videotaped at the time they were being interviewed. https://www.yahoo.com/news/orono-woman-denies-voting-twice-001000598.html
