It's far from over. This is a ploy by the Democrats to make everyone forget about the issue and dismiss it, but none of the questions about b****t integrity have been answered except for GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. The only thing resolved has been an accurate count of the b****t numbers. It doesn't address fraudulent b****ts or multiple b****ts from v**ers and a whole host of other questions that bring doubt on the integrity of the e******n.
Dan Bongino had a good analogy for this. He weighs himself on the same scale each day and the scale records the same result each day. The scale is consistently accurate in this respect. However, the scale is off by several pounds when checked for calibration to actual weight. His scale accurately and consistently weighs him at 10 pounds more than he really is. The Democrats want this to be the end and will portray it as such, but the only question answered so far is, of the b****ts cast what was the final count.
Here is the Democrats' version of the results.

A widely criticized, GOP-led review of the 2020 e******n in Maricopa County concluded that Joe Biden received more v**es for president than Donald Trump.
According to a draft copy of the findings obtained by KJZZ, a hand recount of the nearly 2.1 million b****ts cast in Maricopa County hewed closely to the official canvass of the results approved by county leaders.
In fact, the hand recount for Biden exceeded the county’s tally by 99 v**es, while Trump received 261 fewer v**es than the official results.
Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the e******n review, confirmed the validity of the draft.
“It’s not the final report, but it’s close,” he said.
The leak comes less than 24 hours before a scheduled presentation in the Arizona Senate, where President Karen Fann and Sen. Warren Petersen, the Republicans who issued subpoenas that obtained the b****ts and v****g materials needed for the investigation, are giving the contractors they hired to conduct the review a platform to explain their findings.
Trump’s supporters, and even the former president himself, have latched on to the so-called Arizona audit as evidence the e******n was r****d. Even before the scheduled release of the findings at 1 p.m. Friday, some Republicans have already claimed there’s enough evidence to “decertify” or overturn Trump’s loss in Arizona — a prospect resoundingly dismissed by legal scholars. Others, like GOP gubernatorial candidate Matt Salmon, have called for more investigations of the 2020 v**e, and not just in Maricopa County.
But the report itself throws cold water on the grandest claims of fraud.
“What has been found is both encouraging and alarming. On the positive side there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the b****ts provided and the official canvass results for the county,” the draft states.
Pullen confirmed that the hand recount was “relatively close” to the official tally.
“Was there massive fraud or anything? It doesn’t look like it,” he added.
However, the draft report raises concerns about the county’s e******ns systems and record-keeping, and accuses Maricopa County officials of stonewalling their effort to perform “a complete audit.”
“Had Maricopa County chosen to cooperate with the audit, the majority of these obstacles would have easily been overcome,” the report states.
Pullen said other reports that will be presented in detail tomorrow have not yet been leaked, and that “anomalies” found in v****g records are vast enough to cast doubt on the final v**e count — despite the hand recount’s confirmation of the result.
Maricopa County supervisors have refused to aid the contractors hired by Fann, accusing them of bias and inexperience after errant claims were made about the county’s e******n.
“The contractors hired by the Senate President are not auditors, and they are not certified by the U.S. E******n Assistance Commission,” Maricopa County Board Chairman Jack Sellers, a Republican, said in May. “It's clearer by the day: the people hired by the Senate are in way over their heads. This is not funny; this is dangerous.”
It’s a sentiment shared by e******n experts across the country, who’ve warned any findings by Cyber Ninjas — a Florida-based cybersecurity firm that has no prior experience in e******ns and is led by a CEO who's embraced conspiracies of e******n f***d — can’t be trusted. The same goes for subcontractors conducting other aspects of the Senate’s review, they say.
As the Arizona Republic reported earlier this week, the man hired to oversee the entire review, Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan, was already involved with Trump allies attempting to sow doubts about the e******n, and block Biden’s victory, long before he was hired in Arizona.
“This partisan effort in Arizona appears to be ending the same as it begun — highly biased, incompetent individuals running the process, delay after delay after delay, and very importantly, completely unt***sparent,” David Becker, founder of the Center for E******n Innovation and Research, said earlier Thursday.
In the months since the review first began in late August, contractors and Senate Republicans have drawn the scrutiny of the U.S. Justice Department, made errant claims about illegitimate v**es that were promptly debunked, and disclosed that prominent Trump supporters engaged in efforts to delegitimize the former president's defeat provided millions of dollars to fund the process.

Ten months after the bitterly contested 2020 e******n, the Arizona Senate's long-anticipated forensic audit of b****ts in the state's largest county will be released Friday during a live-streaming event certain to rekindle the passionate debate in America over v****g integrity.
Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, will be briefed at 1 p.m. EDT in public on the findings from Cyber Ninjas and CyFIR, two contractors hired by the Senate to inspect v****g machines and review the 2.1 million b****ts cast in Maricopa County, home to the city of Phoenix.
President Joe Biden was declared the winner in that state by a narrow 10,000 v**es last November.
Fann told Just the News earlier this summer she did not expect the audit to turn up evidence of widespread fraud that would warrant overturning the e******n results in that battleground state, but rather she anticipated finding ways to make v****g and b****t counting easier, safer and more trusted by the public.
"If we do in fact find some major irregularities or problems then our job is to fix it and make sure this doesn't happen again so people can go to the polls ... and know that it's gonna be on the up and up, and nobody's playing any games," Fann told Just the News in May. "The Senate has no authority and nor are we looking to overturn an e******n or decertify. That's not our job. Our job is to make sure we have safe, secure e******ns in the state of Arizona."
You can listen to that interview here:
Democrats have long tried to impugn the audit, as did some GOP members of the Maricopa County Board, which resisted the audit every step of the way.
Even before the audit was released, it claimed its first victim earlier this week when Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri announced he would be resigning after recordings surfaced of him deriding two of his colleagues on the board as "too self-serving" and suggesting they wouldn't support the audit for fear it might affect their e******n outcomes. Chucri apologized for the comments.
Part of the audit — related to digital counting capabilities — won't be released tomorrow, in part because the Senate and the county just struck a deal for contractors to gain access to the county's computer routers and e******n related data that might be stored on them.
But the general performance of the v**e counting machines, the reliability of paper b****ts, and the regularity of integrity measures like signature matching are expected to be evaluated during the Friday session.
Here are 10 meaningful questions the audit could answer:
Did e******n b****ts that were mailed in get lost or damaged before they were counted?
Did all mail-in b****ts have required signatures that matched eligible v**ers?
Were E******n Day b****ts treated differently during the counting process than mail-in b****ts?
How many b****ts were f**gged by v**e counting machines — and why were they f**gged — to undergo a separate review known as digital adjudication, where humans looked on screens to confirm the intent of the v**ers? Republicans have said they believe as many 200,000 b****ts went through this process.
Did e******n clerks handle duplicate b****ts correctly? These are b****ts that didn't scan properly and required a clerk to manually make a replica of the b****t to run through the scanners a second time. Maricopa County officials told Just the News that 27,000 such duplicate b****ts were made and counted in the November e******n.
Was there any evidence of illegal b****t harvesting, where a third party collect multiple b****ts from v**ers and delivered them?
Were all paper b****ts on the required security-enhancing paper and identified by requisite serial numbers? Cyber Ninjas has told the Senate it was making an effort to "identify any b****ts that are suspicious and potentially counterfeit."
Did Arizona's SiteBook system, used for checking in and tracking v**ers, work properly, and did any v**ers improperly skip through that security check?
Were there any v**ers who cast b****ts but aren't listed as v****g or who weren't listed in the poll books as legally allowed to v**e?
Were there any discrepancies in v**e tallies during the various stages of the process, from registration through v**e casting, v**e counting and adjudication of disputed or provisional b****ts?
Kelli Ward, the chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, told Just the News this week that while Friday's long-awaited release of the audit was essential it was not the end of the process. She suggested an official canvas of v**ers conducted by the state attorney general is still needed to survey whether any people cast b****ts that never got counted or whether b****ts sent to departed residents were instead filled out by other people.
"The report from the Arizona Audit team that is scheduled to be released this Friday is just the beginning of our e******n integrity journey," Ward said. "The digital portion of the 2020 e******n must be audited. After months'-long delays from Maricopa County, the Arizona State Senate is only now getting access to the e******n system router and splunk log data that is critical to completing a full forensic audit.
"Finally, after seeing the report from an AZ grassroots group, it is clear that an official canvass must be done by the E******n Integrity Unit at the state Attorney General's office. In order to restore v**er confidence, all three segments of the process must be reviewed: the paper b****ts, the digital process & tabulation, and an on the ground canvass of 2020 v**ers."
In her earlier interview, Fann said she hoped the audit would quell growing doubts about v**e counting, noting a poll found 45% of her state's residents didn't trust e******n results.
"That means at least 45% of people think that there's a problem," she said. So that's not acceptable. This was not a polling as to whether you take your milk in your coffee in the morning. This is e******n integrity, that number should either be zero or 2%, not 45%. So when asked why I'm doing this, this is exactly why we are doing this."
