Who made those laws and who is having the audit done? Answer, the State Legislature. We're done with this.Name those laws that the legislature made. How is it against the law?You see anyone putting up massive sheets of cardboard to block the view?
Has there been a fake toilet overflow and everyone has to evacuate the building?
Have they had anyone removed from the reviewing process?
No, no, no... so what the fuck is your problem?
No one is going to believe anything coming out of this recount because it hasn’t been conducted in a legal fashion. State law mandates how an audit of the election ballots has to be conducted in these people aren’t doing it.
But you believe the election was stolen so it really doesn’t matter what happens in this audit. Nothing will change your little Trump cult mind.
Start with this:
Audit Law Database – Arizona

Experts call for federal monitors of Arizona Senate election audit, citing violations of voting laws
Election security specialists with high-powered policy groups are calling for federal monitors to oversee the Arizona Senate's election audit.www.azcentral.com
Where is "Naricopa" county, dumbass?Apparently the standards for the audit are lower than that for the election.This isn't an election, moron. It's an audit. Different standards.
Given the audit is less reliable, begs the question why they’re doing it at all.
Cheating rigging election stealing Dems telling others how to conduct an audit lol.
Naricopa County Republicans disagree with you.
I will remember you said that next time I am asked for a link,,so no link,,figures,,got a link to back that up??
Yes I do. It is so quick and easy these days to research things and learn for oneself if not dumb and lazy.
Did someone break your lazy fucking fingers FuckBoi?
What a lazy, clueless, waste of skin you are.
It's sort of like Professional Wrestling.Knew I'd be entertained by this circus...

Rotten to the core.
Republicans dominate the Maricopa County Board of Elections. They have said the election was fair. The Republican governor of Arizona said it was fair. You are just sore losers.
Trump's AG says there was no cheating.
He's swamp.
He told every US Attorney to be on the lookout for election fraud. They saw no evidence of fraud. That includes 2 US ttorneys in Georgia.
That is your typical excuse. Barr claimed that Mueller's report exonerated Trump when it did not. Barr was a partisan AG who protected Trump. He was a part of the Trump swamp.

Lying with open eyes
Elected Republicans are lying with open eyes. Their excuses are disgraceful. - “The GOP is increasingly defined not by its shared beliefs, but by its shared delusions…To be a loyal Republican, one must be either a sucker or a liar.” Michael Gerson
“Lord, Lord, how this world is given to lying!”
— “Henry IV,” Part 1, Act 5
For the activist base of the Republican Party, affirming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential contest has become a qualification for membership in good standing. For the party’s elected leaders, accepting the clear result of a fair election is to be a rogue Republican like the indomitable Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) — a target for Trump’s anger, public censure and primary threats.
Nothing about this is normal. The GOP is increasingly defined not by its shared beliefs, but by its shared delusions. To be a loyal Republican, one must be either a sucker or a liar. And because this defining falsehood is so obviously and laughably false, we can safely assume that most Republican leaders who embrace it fall into the second category. Knowingly repeating a lie — an act of immorality — is now the evidence of Republican fidelity.
This kind of determined mendacity requires rolling out the big guns. Said the prophet Isaiah: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.”
Moral clarity against lying is sometimes made harder by our loose application of the term. When public figures disagree with you in their analyses of tax policy, or welfare spending or Social Security reform, they’re generally not lying. They’re disagreeing. When it’s revealed that someone was previously wrong about an issue — even on a grave matter of national security — it doesn’t mean he or she was lying all along. It means that person was wrong.
“To preserve the meaning of words,” said Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), “is the first responsibility of liberalism.” Precisely because principled disagreement is essential in a democracy, we can’t attribute every difference to deception. This form of false witness is a tool of polarization and a method of dehumanization.
It’s important to keep perspective about the stakes of any given lie. There is reason the English language has so many words to describe the shades of culpability in a deception. You can equivocate, or dissemble, or palter, or mislead, or prevaricate, or fib, or perjure. There are mortal lies and venial lies, cruel lies and merciful lies. Context matters.
Speaking of perjury, almost any GOP response to charges of deception will eventually include the words “Bill Clinton.” In a time of rampant whataboutism, Republicans often point out that Clinton was a spectacular liar defended by his party. What they fail to acknowledge is that many elected Democrats criticized his lying under oath, even as they opposed his impeachment. Clinton was not insisting his supporters share in his immorality to show their loyalty (though that might have had some appeal when it came to other human failures).
The context for Trump’s lies has been particularly damning. When Trump falsely asserted that Barack Obama was born in Africa and thus illegitimate as president, it was permission for racism. When he claimed he saw Muslims in New Jersey celebrating on Sept. 11, 2001, it was a vicious lie to feed a prejudice.
But the lie of a stolen election is the foundational falsehood of a political worldview. Believing it requires Trump’s followers to affirm the existence of a nationwide plot against him and his supporters — a plot led by ruthless Democrats and traitorous Republicans, and ignored or endorsed by useless courts and a complicit media. The claim’s plausibility is not the point. Does it really make sense that Attorney General William P. Barr, who found no evidence of election fraud that could have changed the result, was in on the plot? Were the conservative judges Trump appointed who dismissed his rubbish lawsuits really out to get him?
Such considerations don’t seem to matter. In the 1930s and ’40s, was it plausible that the democratic leaders of Weimar Germany had stabbed their own country in the back and betrayed its people? Or that an international conspiracy of powerful Jews was controlling world events?
Trump’s lie is not the moral equivalent of fascist propaganda. But it serves the same political function. A founding lie is intended to remove followers from the messy world of facts and evidence. It is designed to replace critical judgment with personal loyalty. It is supposed to encourage distrust of every source of social authority opposed to the leader’s shifting will.
The people who accepted this political mythology and stormed the Capitol were not lying about their views. They seemed quite sincere. And who knows what Trump really thinks? When a congenital liar surrounds himself with sycophantic liars, he can easily lose radio contact with reality.
No, it is the elected Republicans who are lying with open eyes, out of fear or cynicism, who have the most to atone for. With the health of U.S. democracy at stake, their excuses are disgraceful.
RINOS are not strong, independent or intelligent--they are typical democrats.Lying with open eyes

What is amazing is that Cheney has not gone along with anything Biden has proposed. She has voted in lockstep with other Republicans. Yet she has committed 2 sins. She refuses to lie about the election and she was civil with Biden during his speech. Now they want a political whore to replace her. No one is allowed to disagree with Trump. It reminds me of WW II when the German generals were too afraid to tell truth about the war so Hitler thought he was winn9intg when Allied forces were moving through Europe. Now they want a political whore to replace her. Strong independent women are not welcome in the Republican Party. That will really play well with suburban women.

The FBI received information from another country that led tgo the investigation. The investigation was justified and even the IG agreed. Flynn lied under oath. No one forced him to do it.

Such considerations don’t seem to matter. In the 1930s and ’40s, was it plausible that the democratic leaders of Weimar Germany had stabbed their own country in the back and betrayed its people? Or that an international conspiracy of powerful Jews was controlling world events?
Trump’s lie is not the moral equivalent of fascist propaganda. But it serves the same political function. A founding lie is intended to remove followers from the messy world of facts and evidence. It is designed to replace critical judgment with personal loyalty. It is supposed to encourage distrust of every source of social authority opposed to the leader’s shifting will.
The people who accepted this political mythology and stormed the Capitol were not lying about their views. They seemed quite sincere. And who knows what Trump really thinks? When a congenital liar surrounds himself with sycophantic liars, he can easily lose radio contact with reality.
No, it is the elected Republicans who are lying with open eyes, out of fear or cynicism, who have the most to atone for. With the health of U.S. democracy at stake, their excuses are disgraceful.
What is amazing is that Cheney has not gone along with anything Biden has proposed. She has voted in lockstep with other Republicans. Yet she has committed 2 sins. She refuses to lie about the election and she was civil with Biden during his speech. Now they want a political whore to replace her. No one is allowed to disagree with Trump. It reminds me of WW II when the German generals were too afraid to tell truth about the war so Hitler thought he was winn9intg when Allied forces were moving through Europe. Now they want a political whore to replace her. Strong independent women are not welcome in the Republican Party. That will really play well with suburban women.
Trump and his supporters are the RINOs. Cheney has integrity which is something you pieces of garbage are unfamiliar with. She is strong, intelligent and apparently independent, She re4fuse3s to lie about the election.
