Arizona Republicans hunt for bamboo-laced China ballots in 2020 āauditā
View attachment 487707Arizona Republicans are examining whether there is bamboo fiber in ballots that were used in the 2020 election, an activist assisting with the ongoing audit of the ballots told reporters this week. The latest claim underscores how rightwing conspiracy theories continue to fuel doubt about the results of the results.
āThereās accusation that 40,000 ballots were flown in to Arizona and it was stuffed into the box and it came from the south-east part of the world, Asia, and what theyāre doing is to find out whether thereās bamboo in the paper,ā John Brakey, a longtime election audit advocate, told reporters.
The search for bamboo fibers illustrates how the latest GOP audit of all 2.1m ballots cast in Maricopa county, home to a majority of Arizona voters, is elevating absurd claims about the 2020 election.
After election day, rightwing activists falsely claimed that China had imported ballots to tip the election for Biden and that those ballots could be identified because there was bamboo in the paper. Earlier, workers were using UV lights to examine ballots; while the purpose of doing so was never clear, there was a conspiracy theory after the election that Trump had watermarked ballots (the UV examinations have stopped).
Auditors did not have a clear process for tallying ballots, left laptops unattended, and clear procedures were not in place to hire unbiased counters. āEither do it right, or donāt do it at all,ā she wrote.
One of the people who spread the lie about China dumping ballots, according to Slate, was Javon Pulitzer, a treasure hunter and inventor, who is reportedly assisting with the Maricopa county audit. Though itās not clear in what capacity Pulitzer is assisting, Brakey told reporters on Tuesday that the machines capturing the microscopic images of the ballots were linked to Pulitzer. āThis guy is nuts,ā he said.
āHeās a fraudster ⦠Itās ridiculous that weāre doing some of this.ā
Democrats should play along:
Last November, a caravan of undocumented migrants rumored to have originated in Chinaās Yangtze Basin region crossed from Sonora, Mexico, eluding authorities in Pima County, and feasted on Biden ballots in Maracopa!
