They tried the same crap with the killer named Kyle Rittenhouse...fought to keep the donors to his legal defense fund...private. I understand why too because when it became "public" info...the damn police and government officials donated to his legal defense along with a few less-known celebrities. What's so amazing by these idiots...they typically use their work email addresses to make these types of donations because they assumed it's part of the privacy. Common sense should have told them to use a throwaway email address (e.g. yahoo, gmail) and do not make such types of donations on your job's work computers considering they work in law enforcement. I don't care what crime they've committed...law enforcement should not be donating to the legal defense fund of those that have been arrested and accused of murder. ---------- He is charged with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety in the fatal shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, during the August protest in Kenosha. He is also charged with attempted reckless homicide in a shooting that same night that left protester Gaige Grosskreutz severely wounded. wrbtrader
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/07/trump-declares-victory-arizona-audit-debunked.html We Now Know Exactly What the Trump-Backed Arizona “Audit” Is Going to Do The breadcrumbs that Logan, Petersen, and Fann laid out in the hearing were enough to preview what is likely in store when Logan releases his report in the weeks ahead.* Without specifically challenging the vote count, Logan spent much of the hearing dropping outrageous-sounding numbers of suspicious vote tallies to insinuate fraud without actually proving anything. This appears to be Logan’s ultimate game plan, straight out of the Kraken playbook: Drop dozens of disproven or easily disprovable charges into a report, claim there is a massive cover-up of election fraud, and wave his hands at the big picture even as his charges are easily shown, one by one, to be lies.
This tactic will be primetime in 2022 Democrats will will have big losses in 2022. They will not accept the election as fair and blame Republican voter suppression This will be a never ending cycle from both sides...until they get back to solid rules
Election Audit To Continue, With More Subpoenas And Possible Voter Survey https://kjzz.org/content/1699842/election-audit-continue-more-subpoenas-and-possible-voter-survey? Claiming to have found discrepancies in Maricopa County’s voting records, vendors hired by state Senate Republicans said more subpoenas should be issued to the county and recommended going door-to-door to ask voters about their ballot. But the rationale for the recommendation to survey voters, as well as a series of other claims made during a briefing before two GOP senators at the Arizona Capitol, are founded on misunderstandings about the county’s election process, and in some instances flat out wrong. Critics say the errant claims are another example of the vendor's lack of election-related experience and expertise. Maricopa County board Chairman Jack Sellers said the vendors, led by the Florida-based cybersecurity firm Cyber Ninjas, portrayed “an alternate reality that has veered out of control since the November General Election.” “The Senate’s uncertified contractors asked a lot of open-ended questions, portraying as suspicious what is actually normal and well known to people who work in elections,” Sellers said in a written statement. But top state senators appear ready to follow the lead of Cyber Ninjas and other vendors who say their questions can only be answered if Senate Republicans subpoena more county records and conduct a canvass of voters. Senate President Karen Fann scuttled plans for auditors to go door-to-door in May after the U.S. Justice Department raised concerns a canvass could violate federal laws barring voter intimidation. The U.S House Oversight Committee also recently launched an investigation of the Arizona election review, ensuring further scrutiny of the GOP-led effort. On Thursday, Fann didn’t commit to a canvass, but didn’t rule it out, and suggested the Justice Department should help. “I thought this was our number one important thing in the United States is to make sure that we have voter integrity and we know that our system is working right,” Fann said. “So I would think the Department of Justice would want to work with us to make sure that our elections are safe and secure.” Fann and Sen. Warren Petersen, a Republican chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, compiled notes on data and records Cyber CEO Doug Logan and CyFIR founder Ben Cotton said were needed to complete their election review. Petersen said it was important to follow through. “I think there’s some really important things that we need to get today to finish a complete forensic audit,” he said. Documents the vendors requested for another Senate subpoena include records on mailed early ballots, reports surrounding a previously announced breach of Maricopa County’s voter registration database — information that’s kept separate from the county election systems — and diagrams of the county’s computer network. Logan said information about mailed ballots was necessary to explain a discrepancy in the total number of early ballots sent to voters and the total number of early ballots cast. That discrepancy, a difference of roughly 74,000 ballots, was his primary reason for recommending a canvass of voters. “I think when we've got 74,000, it's, you know, it merits knocking on a door and validating some of this information,” Logan said during the briefing. Election experts and county officials quickly pointed out a simple explanation for the different totals: The county stopped mailing early ballots to voters on Oct. 23, but voters could still cast early ballots in person at any time before the election, without having a ballot mailed to them. “This is not a new practice, so it’s not unusual that we would have more early votes than mail-in ballots sent,” county officials tweeted. It’s not the first time Senate’s vendors have made errant claims about the county, and even Fann has helped spread misinformation. Earlier this week, the Senate president told conservative radio host Mike Broomhead a previous, partial hand recount of Maricopa County votes — overseen by county officials immediately after the Nov. 3 election — wasn’t good enough. “You talk about Maricopa County doing a hand count, they did a very small amount, if you remember, this was an extremely tight race. They also pre picked which boxes they were going to do the hand count,” Fann said on KTAR. She was repeating a claim about “pre-selected” ballots made by Randy Pullen, a former chair of the Arizona Republican Party and Fann’s designated spokesperson for the audit. However, the county doesn’t preselect which ballots will be used for the statutorily-required recount. Appointees from county political party’s randomly selected batches of early ballots, and randomly chose what vote centers will be used for a recount of election day votes. Trey Grayson, a Republican and former secretary of state of Kentucky who helped author a report criticizing the Arizona audit, said the misunderstandings shows Logan and the audit team aren’t qualified to review the election. “If you’re trying to hire somebody to do a job, relevant experience is an important criteria. It’s not the only criteria, but it’s an important one, and clearly they didn’t do this,” Grayson said. “But even by hiring somebody who didn’t have the experience, it doesn’t look like they went out and did their homework.” Logan has cast the blame on Maricopa County officials, who’ve criticized Cyber Ninjas and other vendors and refused to coordinate with the Senate beyond handing over records under a subpoena. Logan said that lack of help is why a planned two-month audit has taken months longer to complete. Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, a Republican, said the county has no interest in assisting in any way. “If we were dealing with serious auditors who had elections experience, that would be one thing. But that's not what we're dealing with. We're dealing with people who have preconceived notions,” Gates said. Logan has spread conspiracies about the election on social media and authored a document for elected officials that promoted debunked election fraud theories. He also appeared in a conspiracy film that claims to show the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. On Thursday, Logan and Cotton rehashed some debunked conspiracies about the vote in Maricopa County, including a claim that ink that bleeds through from one side of the ballot to another could mean votes were wrongfully tossed. A judge already vetted that claim, and county officials explained back in November that ballots are designed with offset columns to ensure bleeding ink doesn’t jeopardize election equipments’ ability to count votes. Cotton also claimed it was alarming that antivirus software on county voting equipment hasn’t been updated since 2019, when Dominion Voting Systems software was installed. County officials explained that Microsoft antivirus software only updates when connected to the internet — election equipment is permanently disconnected, or “air-gapped,” to avoid hackers. This reinforces the county’s claim that voting equipment was never connected to the internet, something Cotton said he’s been unable to verify without further information from the county. While the audit now appears far from over, it’s still unclear who’s picking up the tab for Cyber Ninjas, CyFIR and other vendors still at work. The Senate agreed to pay Cyber Ninjas $150,000, and the firm has refused to disclose who else has funded their effort and how much it’s cost.
Hilarious, These are the people from the same Republicans that are offended by people knocking on doors to remind citizens where the vaccination centers are located, remind citizens about the importance of vaccines... Now the Fraud Auditors seem OK with them knocking on the doors of citizens to ask them about their ballot. Fraud Audit - Knock Knock Knock... The homeowner answers the door. Fraud Audit - We would like to know if this ballot belongs to you and that you did in fact vote for Joe Biden ? The homeowner - Yes, that's my ballot and I can see the strawberry stain is still on it when I drop some strawberries on it because I was eating when I filled out my ballot. Fraud Audit - Thank you, sir. Oh, by the way, ignore the vaccination people when they come knocking on your door to give you brochures about Covid vaccines because it's an invasion of your privacy. wrbtrader
