This whole Maricopa County recount thing is a fraud. It cannot have any legal or moral standing. It is being conducted on a thoroughly partisan basis with "security" impersonating law enforcement, media not allowed in, partisan operatives running the whole thing with a company run by openly partisan operatives, all conducted on the taxpayers' dime and UNNAMED "donors."
The thing that concerns me the most is that these private contractors and partisans have access to the private information of voters which is supposed to be kept confidential by the state government. The morons running this fraud retracted their plans to pay voters personal visits, but their plans draw attention to the problem of some politicians revealing personal information to outsiders. Voters' personal information is supposed safeguarded by election officials. Anyone ever visited or contacted in any way by a private party should refuse to answer any questions, slam the door. I will refrain from suggesting that the folks at the door be given an ass full of buckshot.
This harkens back a few years when South Dakota politicians began forcing women who wanted abortions to attend, in person, some "counseling centers" run by who-knows-who and these people at these "counseling centers" pumped "clients" for extremely personal information, and it turned out that these organizations that the politicians forced these women into were not covered by the privacy protections of HIPAA and we don't know where this private information was circulated.
These examples show why we Americans need to strengthen the protections of our privacy from encroachment by government.
