You know when someone is cheating, they pre-empt findings of massive election fraud by claiming those machines were compromised. Democrats know what happened. Acting dumb and saying no fraud happened instead, of facilitating any ballot audits, calls into question, what really happened on November 3, 2020 elections? If you have nothing to hide, audits will confirm the results. The fact, you stonewall and try to subvert and obstruct the ballot audit, calls into question your motives. https://www.yahoo.com/news/pennsylvania-decertifies-countys-voting-machines-205156699.html
Democrats and Republicans did not prevent, block nor attacked the prior audits. Yet, after a few audits...you sore losers need to stop wishing for a miracle for a man with no moral courage to attack the Covid crisis, no moral courage to deal with social injustices, no moral courage to deal with climate change, no moral courage to embrace our Nato allies but he did have balls to pardon his criminal friends out of prison, then tell those that wanted to hang the Vice President / kidnap congressional members that "we love you"... I can go on with a hundred things and reasons why Donald Trump lost but you've already heard it all. There will be another audit in Arizona and it will be treated as a clown show like the current audit...rightfully so because there had already been a prior audit. The audit may reveal additional fraud that the prior audits did not catch but it will not be widespread fraud nor able to validate Trump fraud accusations that begin to scare away Republicans many months before November 2020. Trump saw America falling apart when the Pandemic hit...instead of being a savior...he became a lying coward. wrbtrader
These scammy non-professional audit firms which don't follow proper auditing processes for traceability should be forced to pay for all the voting machines they force to be dumped in the trash. In the case below one of fraudit firms, Wake TSI, involved in the Arizona "audit" forced all the voting machines in a Pennsylvania county to be decertified due to improper handling in their "audit". Pennsylvania county's voting machines decertified after audit https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...untys-voting-machines-decertified-after-audit A Pennsylvania county’s voting machines were decertified after they were subjected to an audit. In a letter to the Fulton County Board of Elections on Tuesday, acting Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Veronica Degraffenreid said the machines used during the November 2020 election were compromised as a result of the audit conducted by software company Wake TSI. Fulton County officials previously told Degraffenreid that they allowed Wake TSI to access certain components of their election system, including their “election database, results files, and Windows system logs,” the letter states. The county also allowed the company to use a “system imaging tool to take complete hard drive images of these computers” and “complete images of two USB thumb drives” used to transfer election results. Degraffenreid said the machines had been compromised as a result of the audit. She said neither the county, state officials, nor Dominion Voting Systems could “verify that the impacted components of Fulton County’s leased voting system are safe to use in future elections.” The Secretary further said the audit in question was taken in a manner that was “not transparent or bipartisan.” “I have no other choice but to decertify the use of Fulton County’s leased Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5A voting system last used in the November 2020 election,” Degraffenreid wrote. The decision almost certainly means that Fulton County, a rural area on the border with Maryland and home to 14,845 residents, will have to purchase or lease new voting machines from Dominion or another company. The decision to hand the machines over to Wake TSI came after a request from state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R), a staunch ally of former President Trump who promoted conspiracy theories about the election and arranged buses of supporters to head to the January 6 “stop the steal” rally that became an insurrection. Wake TSI is one of the companies involved in a post-election audit of Maricopa County ballots ordered by the Arizona state Senate’s Republican majority. Maricopa County supervisors, four out of five of whom are Republicans, voted last week to scrap their machines after they lost custody and to lease new ones, at a cost of nearly $3 million of taxpayer dollars. Mastriano and state Sen. Judy Ward (R), who represents Fulton County, made the formal request of county election administrators to hand over the machines. Fulton County officials have said they do not know who is paying for the Pennsylvania audit, though they say it is necessary to instill confidence in the 2020 election results. Several other Republican-led counties in Pennsylvania have refused Mastriano’s request for access to their ballot-counting machines for the same reason that Degraffenreid cited.
Actually once the fraudit firms have torn them apart with no documented traceability as per professional audit standards --- I and every reasonable voter want these particular voting machines replaced. We just think that the fraudit firms and their financial backers should be made to bear the cost.
It has already been decided...they will bear the financial costs. It's one of the reasons why they're now trying to complete their clown show to prevent running out of funds because the funders have political reasons...reasons that can be used against them in the 2022 mid-terms or 2024 elections. On Thursday, however, Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp pulled back the drapery, ordering that Fann and the Republican-controlled Senate make available “any and all” records, including communications, planning, procedures, as well as who exactly is paying for this fiasco, to the nonprofit group American Oversight, which sued Fann and the Senate under public records law. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opi...rtain-arizona-sham-election-audit/7990265002/ Now Cyber Ninjas is trying to wrap up the clown show audit now that the public has access to what really is going on behind the scenes. Unfortunately, it will plant the seeds for another clown show Arizona audit because they will argue that the prior audit was "rushed" and that they had been prevented from doing a proper audit. wrbtrader
However the counties are still bearing the costs for replacing the voting machines currently. At least in Arizona -- thanks to this ruling -- the county will know exactly who to sue to recover the costs of replacing the voting machines.
