Arizona Elections Officials Launch Bipartisan Assault On GOP Audit

[Lastamender]

Give us a number....how many illegals? You seem to know that illegals voted....surely you know enough to have a number......................unless you are just a little liar.

I said illegal votes not votes by illegals. You are a very dumb troll.

Challenging an election is not a witch hunt. It is a Constitutional right.

It’s not a “challenge”. It’s an audit.

Well, it’s supposedly an audit but it’s really a witch hunt.

 

[bripat9643]

I understand you're angry.

That's what happens when you've been conned. You're really fallen for it.

Too bad.

I wasn't conned. You were.

 

[bripat9643]

The Arizona Senate also gave them 150 thousand dollars for the audit.

Do believe the shouldn't have been paid?

 

[bripat9643]

It’s not a “challenge”. It’s an audit.

Well, it’s supposedly an audit but it’s really a witch hunt.

Listen to the asshole who voted for the party that conducted witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt.

Listen to the asshole who voted for the party that conducted witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt.

It's not a witch hunt if you find actual crimes.

 

[bripat9643]

It's not a witch hunt if you find actual crimes.

What actual crimes did they find?

 

[colfax_m]

What actual crimes did they find?

Name a "witch hunt" and I'll tell you.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Thanks to Biden there are plenty of jihadis on their way.

And they have state sponsorship AND a deal with Biden's owners and backers at the CCP

 

[bripat9643]

Name a "witch hunt" and I'll tell you.

Trump's first and 2nd impeachments

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Taliban with Fauxi Wuhan bioweapons, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Lastamender]

It's no longer my call, hun.

You mean you lied because I never threatened anyone here. Troll is bad enough, lying troll is worse.

The Cyber Ninjas blamed Covid for not turning in their assignment yesterday. Sounds much more mature than the dog ate my homework excuse.

After reading Friday what they got wrong as explained by both our Secretary of State and County Recorder (folks with actual familiarity what election data), the Ninjas must of had a long weekend re-writing their script.

 

[candycorn]

You have no idea what "real' is.

306-232.

YOUR
BLOB
LOST

REALLY

 

[CowboyTed]

Why 6 months? Try no cooperation from Maricopa county. You dumb fuck.

They got the votes...What more did they want?

By the way there was reports of black and blue pens on the counting floor (using that term loosely)... If there is one mark on any vote I think we should expect Federal Charges for vote interference...

 

[CowboyTed]

Trump's first and 2nd impeachments

Are you saying he didn't ask a foreign leader for help against a political opponent?

Or

Going around asking other foreign leaders to announce chargers on you political opponents in not impeachable?

Rem any answer here applies to Biden too..

Awfully strange, isn't it?

With something this important -- the commies taking over our election and installing a puppet government -- you'd think something like a mild flu couldn't possibly stop them from at least telling us what they have found. They could probably at least do a Zoom meeting or sumpin'.

Yeah. Strange.

How Arizona Republicans' bizarre 'audit' managed to get even worse​

When it comes to the Arizona Republicans' election "audit," we were reminded yesterday that this dumpster fire is clearly more pitiful than powerful.

Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, center, works to move ballots from the 2020 general election at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, on May 1, 2021.

At Donald Trump's rally in Alabama over the weekend, there was a point at which the former president not only assured his followers that his election conspiracy theories are true, he also added, "You'll see the evidence starting to come out."
Nearly 10 months after the Republican's defeat, there is still no such evidence, and he didn't specify what kind of substantiation he believes is "starting to come out." My best guess, however, is that he was referring to an utterly bonkers "audit" created by GOP members of the Arizona state Senate, who are reportedly prepared to release their findings.

As NBC News reported late yesterday, that's not going especially well.

Arizona Republicans will get only partial findings from their partisan review of 2020 ballots Monday after three people from the private company leading the so-called audit tested positive for Covid-19, state Senate President Karen Fann said.

"The team expected to have the full draft ready for the Senate today, but unfortunately Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan and two other members of the five-person audit team have tested positive for COVID-19 and are quite sick," Fann said in a statement.
It's worth appreciating how we arrived at this point. As Rachel explained on last night's show, it was in April when Republican state senators, unmoved by the official election results and the findings of independent audits, thought it'd be a good idea to hand over Maricopa County's ballots and election equipment to a Florida-based outfit called Cyber Ninjas, led by a conspiracy theorist associated with the QAnon delusion.
The original plan was for Cyber Ninjas to take a few weeks to conduct an "audit." That was roughly five months ago.

As the outlandish review proceeded -- who can forget the bizarre search for bamboo fibers? -- we were told a final report would be available late last week. Then we were told to expect it yesterday.

As yesterday neared its end, Arizona Republicans said Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan and two other members of the five-person audit team have tested positive for COVID-19 and have fallen ill, which will delay the disclosure of the findings. One of the auditors has reportedly even been hospitalized with COVID-related pneumonia.

And while this was obviously horrible news, among the reasons this was so extraordinary was that this was the first public acknowledgement that a five-person audit team actually exists. Despite the fact that proponents of this ridiculous process have claimed the review is all about "transparency," key details like these have been kept under wraps for months.

Who comprises this five-person audit team, and what qualifications do they bring to the table? There are no answers to such questions because we still don't know who they are. One might be tempted to assume they're employed by Cyber Ninjas, but to date, there's little to suggest Cyber Ninjas has a roster of employees beyond its CEO.

Former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who has ostensibly served as a liaison for the "audit" process, and communicated with the public on behalf of the auditors, also expressed surprise yesterday -- not only because of the COVID-related developments, but also because he thought the audit team had nine members, not five.
Making matters just a little worse, aside from the COVID problem, Arizona Republican state senators also conceded yesterday that the report that was due to be released isn't actually done anyway.

In case this isn't obvious, Trump and other election conspiracy theorists have spent months not only touting the outlandish process in Arizona, but also preparing to use the investigation's findings as proof of 2020 wrongdoing. Far-right officials in other states intend to use the Arizona report to push for similar "audits" in other states in which Republicans disapproved of the voters' judgment.
In reality, however, Arizona's dumpster fire is clearly more pitiful than powerful.

There's no such crime as "asking a foreign leader for help against a political opponent." There's no legal term called "political opponent" in the law.

Going around asking other foreign leaders to announce chargers on you political opponents in not impeachable?

Rem any answer here applies to Biden too..

That may be sleazy, or may not be, but it's not a crime on the books.
