The review is being conducted by Cyber Ninjas, a cybersecurity firm that has no experience in e******n auditing. And the company's chief executive officer, Doug Logan, made some Thursday claims that were immediately called into question by the county and independent experts.
Here's a brief look at two of them.
Facts First: There is no evidence of either fraud or any significant error with these b****ts, and certainly not "magically appearing b****ts." Both Maricopa County and outside experts say there is a simple explanation for the gap Logan claimed had not been explained: the existence of in-person early v****g. Contrary to Logan's claims, the b****t lists he was talking about include not only mail-in b****ts but also b****ts cast early in person.
Here's why it's entirely normal for Maricopa County's submitted-b****ts list to include a significant number of v**es that do not match up with entries on the requested-b****ts list. After the deadline to request a mail-in b****t, which was October 23 in 2020, the requested-b****t list doesn't get updated by the county. But the submitted-b****ts list does get updated after that October 23 deadline -- with the v**es of in-person early v**ers.
Logan's suggestion of some sort of unsolved mystery was definitively debunked by Garrett Archer, an e******n analyst at ABC15 television in Phoenix and a former official in the Arizona secretary of state's office, who is known locally and on Twitter for his mastery of the state's e******ns data.
Archer explained that the county stops updating the requested-b****ts list, known as "EV32," after the last day people can request a mail b****t, October 23. So b****ts cast in person after October 23, Archer said, were included on the submitted-b****ts list, known as "EV33," but did not have a corresponding item on the "EV32" requested-b****ts list.
Archer analyzed the files and found that there were 74,241 b****ts on the submitted-b****ts list without a corresponding entry on the requested-b****ts list -- nearly identical to the figure Logan cited, "74,243." But Archer found that more than 99.9% of the b****ts in question were recorded in the submitted-b****ts list on October 26 or later.
That is in line with the October 23 cut-off date Archer had previously noted for the requested-b****ts list.
The explanation: October 24 and 25 were weekend days when county clerks didn't update the submitted-b****t list, Archer said, so they added the b****ts cast by in-person v**ers on those weekend days to the submitted-b****t totals starting on October 26.
"This is a glaring omission in the analysis," Archer tweeted of the auditors. "It is either grossly negligent for failing to see a pattern of b****ts being returned after a certain date or the statements were deliberately misleading."
Tammy Patrick, an e******ns expert who spent more than a decade working at Maricopa County's e******ns department, also said on Twitter that the requested-b****ts list stops getting updated 11 days before E******n Day but the submitted-b****ts list continues to get updated until the day before E******n Day.
Patrick tweeted of the auditors: "AGAIN: They don't know what they're looking at."
Facts First: The office of Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, a Republican elected in 2020, strongly denied this claim. "At no point during the 2020 e******n cycle did Maricopa County modify the rigorous signature verification requirements. Any suggestion to the contrary is categorically false," the recorder's office said on Twitter.
