This is just the start of the overall information that has come out. So stay tuned for additional information. To those that have already jumped on the band wagon that Biden won AZ, there are a number things you have not taken into consideration.

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 ballot integrity have been answered except for GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. The only thing resolved has been an accurate count of the ballot numbers. It doesn't address fraudulent ballots or multiple ballots from voters and a whole host of other questions that bring doubt on the integrity of the election.

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 ballots cast what was the final count.


Here is the Democrats' version of the results.

Arizona Election Audit Confirms Biden's Win In Maricopa County, But Also Casts Doubts
By Ben Giles

Updated: Thursday, September 23, 2021 - 7:23pm

A widely criticized, GOP-led review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County concluded that Joe Biden received more votes 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 ballots 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 votes, while Trump received 261 fewer votes than the official results.

Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the election 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 ballots and voting 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 election was rigged. 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 vote, 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 ballots 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 elections 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 voting records are vast enough to cast doubt on the final vote 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 election.

“The contractors hired by the Senate President are not auditors, and they are not certified by the U.S. Election 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 election experts across the country, who’ve warned any findings by Cyber Ninjas — a Florida-based cybersecurity firm that has no prior experience in elections and is led by a CEO who's embraced conspiracies of election fraud — 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 election, 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 untransparent,” David Becker, founder of the Center for Election 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 votes 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 questions the Arizona election audit could answer Friday
From ballot papers and serial numbers to poll books, a forensic audit has examined almost every imaginable aspect of voting in Arizona's largest county.

Ten months after the bitterly contested 2020 election, the Arizona Senate's long-anticipated forensic audit of ballots in the state's largest county will be released Friday during a live-streaming event certain to rekindle the passionate debate in America over voting 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 voting machines and review the 2.1 million ballots 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 votes 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 election results in that battleground state, but rather she anticipated finding ways to make voting and ballot 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 election or decertify. That's not our job. Our job is to make sure we have safe, secure elections 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 election 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 election related data that might be stored on them.

But the general performance of the vote counting machines, the reliability of paper ballots, 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 election ballots that were mailed in get lost or damaged before they were counted?
Did all mail-in ballots have required signatures that matched eligible voters?
Were Election Day ballots treated differently during the counting process than mail-in ballots?
How many ballots were flagged by vote counting machines — and why were they flagged — to undergo a separate review known as digital adjudication, where humans looked on screens to confirm the intent of the voters? Republicans have said they believe as many 200,000 ballots went through this process.
Did election clerks handle duplicate ballots correctly? These are ballots that didn't scan properly and required a clerk to manually make a replica of the ballot to run through the scanners a second time. Maricopa County officials told Just the News that 27,000 such duplicate ballots were made and counted in the November election.
Was there any evidence of illegal ballot harvesting, where a third party collect multiple ballots from voters and delivered them?
Were all paper ballots 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 ballots that are suspicious and potentially counterfeit."
Did Arizona's SiteBook system, used for checking in and tracking voters, work properly, and did any voters improperly skip through that security check?
Were there any voters who cast ballots but aren't listed as voting or who weren't listed in the poll books as legally allowed to vote?
Were there any discrepancies in vote tallies during the various stages of the process, from registration through vote casting, vote counting and adjudication of disputed or provisional ballots?
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 voters conducted by the state attorney general is still needed to survey whether any people cast ballots that never got counted or whether ballots 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 election integrity journey," Ward said. "The digital portion of the 2020 election must be audited. After months'-long delays from Maricopa County, the Arizona State Senate is only now getting access to the election 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 Election Integrity Unit at the state Attorney General's office. In order to restore voter confidence, all three segments of the process must be reviewed: the paper ballots, the digital process & tabulation, and an on the ground canvass of 2020 voters."

In her earlier interview, Fann said she hoped the audit would quell growing doubts about vote counting, noting a poll found 45% of her state's residents didn't trust election 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 election 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."

But the general performance of the vote counting machines, the reliability of paper ballots, 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 election ballots that were mailed in get lost or damaged before they were counted?
Did all mail-in ballots have required signatures that matched eligible voters?
Were Election Day ballots treated differently during the counting process than mail-in ballots?
How many ballots were flagged by vote counting machines — and why were they flagged — to undergo a separate review known as digital adjudication, where humans looked on screens to confirm the intent of the voters? Republicans have said they believe as many 200,000 ballots went through this process.
Did election clerks handle duplicate ballots correctly? These are ballots that didn't scan properly and required a clerk to manually make a replica of the ballot to run through the scanners a second time. Maricopa County officials told Just the News that 27,000 such duplicate ballots were made and counted in the November election.
Was there any evidence of illegal ballot harvesting, where a third party collect multiple ballots from voters and delivered them?
Were all paper ballots 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 ballots that are suspicious and potentially counterfeit."
Did Arizona's SiteBook system, used for checking in and tracking voters, work properly, and did any voters improperly skip through that security check?
Were there any voters who cast ballots but aren't listed as voting or who weren't listed in the poll books as legally allowed to vote?
Were there any discrepancies in vote tallies during the various stages of the process, from registration through vote casting, vote counting and adjudication of disputed or provisional ballots?
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 voters conducted by the state attorney general is still needed to survey whether any people cast ballots that never got counted or whether ballots 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 election integrity journey," Ward said. "The digital portion of the 2020 election must be audited. After months'-long delays from Maricopa County, the Arizona State Senate is only now getting access to the election 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 Election Integrity Unit at the state Attorney General's office. In order to restore voter confidence, all three segments of the process must be reviewed: the paper ballots, the digital process & tabulation, and an on the ground canvass of 2020 voters."

In her earlier interview, Fann said she hoped the audit would quell growing doubts about vote counting, noting a poll found 45% of her state's residents didn't trust election 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 election 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."
It's far from over. This is a ploy by the Democra... (show quote)


I watched that whole production and as a production, it stunk. Audio and video so far off that it was hard to concentrate. They also had a hard time getting their power point working right the whole damn time. And on my computer monitor, it was impossible to read what was being shown, when it got up there in sink with the talker.

Beyond that. The first guy talked about the integrity of the mail in ballots. Not who they voted for, but all along it was said that this is more of a Democrat thing. But duplicate ballots which by law should be thrown out but were counted. That was over 34,000 and presumably more Democrat votes. Some people voted more then two times, but all of these ballots were counted. The AG needs to investigate those as definite crimes.

The Cyber Ninjas did a good job of integrity in what they did. They really counted those ballots. But there were anomalies there with batch numbers in various boxes. And of course Maricopa County was an absticle the whole way.

The Dominion machines and their reliability is another issue. There didn't seem to be anything that the County did right. As a matter of fact they couldn't have screwed it up more, even with intent. A lot of credit to the guy who directed that investigation.

Was the election stolen? Not proven yet. But the integrity of those numbers is as questionable now as they ever were. Maybe more so.

Take your own advice. No one who voted for the Senile Shitweasel can be considered a "responsible citizen;" except in the sense that you are in part responsible for the mess we are in today.

No! Not because I say so. Youz fooz balls keep coming up empty handed .
It isn’t everyone else’s fault that youz are Wrong. The Big Lie is always going to be The Big Lie. It cannot be transformed into truth. It’s a lie. It will be always be a lie.
Fools who carry this lie around as Truth will find everyday day their minions becoming smaller and insignificant.
This isn’t everyone else’s fault.
Youz haven’t any proof. Only more lies to try justify the Big Lie.
Could you imagine the left playing baseball with the right ? Really , think about that.
When one team cannot color inside the lines
And whine and complain about everything
Along with declaring they already won the game before the first pitch was thrown.
Who in their right minds would want to play against a team like this.
This is not everyone else’s fault.

You just can’t, can’t base fair and honest
On Lies.
It screws up the whole balance of the universe.
They’re your lies coming out of your cheating throats.

What mess are we in today that you just cannot deal with. ?
Biden is a Democratically Elected President.
Your Fascistic responses To Democratic Government assumes you are trying to poke your own eye out with a stick.

What about the 184,000 who didn’t vote.
Could they all be Teapublicans ?

Trump was the democratically elected President in 2016 and that didn't stop the evil satanic fascistic Democrat Party from doing everything they could to overturn his presidency. An eye for an eye. Just using the left's own tactics against themselves because turnabout is fair play and it's the only thing these reprobates understand.

Trumplicans will never accept Biden’s win and are completely sanguine ignoring facts, evidence: even the constitution so until the next Presidential election in Nov., 2024 we’ll just have to deal with the reality a large minority of the voting US population can’t handle the truth. In the meantime, as in GA last Jan. the desperate zeal to prove everyone else wrong, as well as intellectually inferior provides sufficient distraction so some of the more legitimate Trump syncopates lose elections they should actually win.
