PHOENIX (AP) —
Arizona Republicans’ partisan review of the 2020 e******n results got off to a rocky start when their contractors broke rules for counting b****ts and e******n experts warned the work was dangerous for democracy.
When the auditors stopped the counting and returned the b****ts this week, it hadn't gotten better. In the last week alone, the only audit leader with substantial e******n experience was locked out of the building, went on the radio to say he was quitting, then reversed course hours later. The review's Twitter accounts were suspended for breaking the rules. A conservative Republican senator withdrew her support, calling the process “botched.” And the lead auditor confirmed what was long suspected: that his work was almost entirely paid for by supporters of Donald Trump who were active in the former president’s movement to spread false narratives of fraud.
All this came nearly 100 days into a process that was supposed to take “about 60 days," according to the Senate Republicans who launched it. And it's not over yet. Contractors are now producing a report on the findings that could take weeks or more to write.
The turmoil casts even more doubt on the conclusions of what backers describe as a “forensic audit" but what experts and critics say is a deeply flawed, partisan process.
“Not even a shred of being salvaged at this point,” said Sen. Paul Boyer, the first Republican state senator to publicly come out against the audit in May. “They’ve botched it at so many points along the way that it's irrecoverable.”
This is a fraudulent audit. I heard that some of the bsllots were changed. You see, one has to use a red pen at an audit blue and black pens as are used by v**ers. The Ninjas used black or blue pens. The Ninjas also destroyed nine million dollars of v****g machines.shuch a waste of time and tax dollars.

Yep, I've said it before an honest audit would be done by elected e******n officials, in the public, with both parties watching. A private company who's never done anything e******n oriented, counting only part of the states v**es, payed for by trump supporters will only come out with one corrupt answer.
When you say "False narrative" you are expressing an opinion, but stating it as a fact. No reason to listen to anything else you say.

But you'll listen the the unfounded, dribbles of an angry ex-president spouting falsehoods of a f********t e******n without a scrap of proof. Not Surprising.
