    Observers of Maricopa County recount report procedural problems

    Ballots have been left unattended on counting tables.

    Laptop computers sit abandoned, at times open, unlocked and unmonitored.

    Procedures are constantly shifting, with untrained workers using different rules to count ballots.

    Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, on Wednesday sent a letter outlining a string of problems that she said observers from her office have witnessed at a Republican-led recount of the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona’s largest county.
    In the six-page letter, Hobbs wrote that elections are “governed by a complex framework of laws and procedures designed to ensure accuracy, security, and transparency” but that the procedures governing the ongoing recount in Phoenix “ensure none of those things.”

    Former Arizona secretary of state Ken Bennett, a Republican who is acting as a spokesman for the audit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the audit’s Twitter account, @ArizonaAudit, tweeted that Hobbs’s allegations were “baseless claimes [sic].”

    “The audit continues!” read the tweet.

    The recount of Maricopa County’s nearly 2.1 million ballots was ordered by the GOP-led state Senate, despite the fact that county officials, as well as state and federal judges, found no merit to claims that the vote was tainted by fraud or other problems.
    Republicans hired a Florida-based private contractor called Cyber Ninjas, whose chief executive has echoed former president Donald Trump’s false allegations of fraud, to handle the recount.

    The company has been criticized for running an opaque process and not following state rules for elections and recounts. Its audit has been embraced by Trump and his allies as the key to overturning his election loss, and it has spawned a wave of unfounded theories about how the Maricopa vote could have been rigged.

    Fueling the speculation has been the unorthodox practices of the contractors, who have been conducting physical examinations of the ballots, including inspecting their weight and thickness and examining folds on ballots under microscopes. At one point, workers were holding ballots up to ultraviolet lights.

    The purpose of such inspections has not been clear. Bennett at one point said the workers were hunting for watermarks - though county officials have said the Maricopa County ballots do not bear watermarks.
    In her letter, Hobbs wrote that the paper analysis is “completely unnecessary” and does “little other than further marginalize the professionalism and intent of this ‘audit.’ ”

    In an interview Wednesday with a local CBS affiliate, John Brakey - an assistant to Bennett who has described himself as a Democrat who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2020 - said workers were looking for traces of bamboo.

    Brakey cited unfounded accusations that 40,000 ballots were flown from Asia into Arizona. He added that he does not believe that theory.

    “What they’re doing is to find out if there’s bamboo in the paper,” he said, adding: “They’re doing all sorts of testing to prove if it was or wasn’t, and that’s very important, because the only way you’re going to persuade people on changing is having facts, and we’re on a mission for facts.”

    Bennett did not immediately respond to a question about whether workers are searching for traces of bamboo.

    The sloppiness of the audit and lack of professionalism of the auditors goes straight back to the folks who hired them.

    Why wouldn't we be surprised that they auditors would be criticized after the County refused to turn over information, tried to sue and did everything they could do to block the audit. That was before they started to find so many problems and inconsistencies.

    There is no doubt that the left will try to discredit the auditors, because they know that they will not like the result of the audit.

    That is probably putting it very mildly based on what I have seen so far.

    Some will fight to support the lie. Others may have to lay down their lives for a lie.

    The audit will find nothing. But to save face they will say there is a lot of suspicious things they found.


    The AZ Cyber Ninja audit is not a real audit. Its a stunt designed to keep the big lie alive and justify making it harder to vote for democrats. Here are just a few reasons why the AZ audit is untrustworthy...
    • This is the first Audit they have EVER done.
    • They have no certification for counting/auditing in elections.
    • It is being run by a QAnon conspiracy theorist who has already repeatedly tweeted his bias about how the election is rigged.
    • They have been screwing up with chain of custody.
    • They have been screwing up with security.
    • They have been screwing up with allowing blue and black pens in the counting room (red and green pens cannot be picked up by scanners scanners)
    • Observers are not trained,
    • Observers must sign NDAs. Whats the point of observing, then?
    • Reporters are no longer allowed. Except for a useless distant camera from NewsMax
    • Republican State Senators are back peddling about the legitimacy of this audit...
    “It makes us look like idiots,” Republican State Senator Paul Boyer told The New York Times. “Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”
    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/republican-backed-arizona-audit-based-223254419.html


    There have already been THREE other reviews by certified auditors.

    They couldn't find anything less than Team Mueller and for a fraction of the cost. Proceed.
