Father, thank You for those who painstakingly engaged in this audit. We ask for a higher level of integrity in all of our elections, and that breaches in the process will be corrected.I think all of us–both sides–may have misunderstood what the audit of the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County, AZ intended to do and what it accomplished…I expected it to tell us who won the election…
Detractors of the audit claimed this fact confirmed Joe Biden had won the election.
It did not. The number of ACTUAL ballots is irrelevant. What matters—and what the audit was concerned with—was how many of those ballots were LEGAL…
AZ State Senate President Karen Fann made it clear what was at issue was…the integrity of the processes used in determining the results of that election…
What it did confirm was that there were serious anomalies…which should have rendered a significant number of those ballots invalid…[F]uture elections need to make changes to prevent illegal and invalid ballots like these from being counted…
It was also the most thorough and…secure audit in history. All people involved had to pass background checks…Chain of custody was overseen by video cameras covering nine areas of the process, with guards inside and outside the building…At no time was a box of ballots unattended. Every time one was moved, it had to be signed in and out by the worker that handled or transported it. Everything was locked up and stored at night, under guard.
Examination of the materials used by voters included comparisons of every signature—or lack thereof, on every return envelope. At the ‘paper exam’ table high definition cameras and even microscopes were used to examine the fiber used in the paper mail-in ballots were printed on…whether the “presidential oval” next to a presidential candidate’s name had been filled in by ball-point pen, a Sharpie—or stamped perfectly by a computer.
Anomalies of all kinds were found: At least 17,000 duplicate ballots. A total of 23,344 ballots from those who had moved out of Maricopa County but voted there anyway. Thousands of ballots “verified and approved” as having matching signatures despite no signatures at all or…ineligible “scribbles.” Voters—9.041 of them—who returned more ballots than they were sent…
Computers used in the counting and certifying of votes were all insecure…thus allowing people outside the election hall…anywhere in the world, to change the numbers or apply them to an opposing candidate. That…alone should have invalidated every single ballot run through them…
In spite of the county’s refusal to provide…documents, there was enough evidence found in the…examination of the computers to show probable intent to hide and destroy evidence. Internet history was recovered from unallocated space in the computers, including “artifacts” significantly different from the claim that the computers “were never connected to the internet.” EVIDENCE OF SIGNIFICANT NET ACCESS THROUGH THOUSANDS OF CONNECTIONS…Remote access enabled.
Examination of the machines also recovered evidence that substantial 2020- election-related information–TOTALING 85,673 FILES–had been deleted over a period of days, SOME OF THEM THE DAY BEFORE THE AUDIT, MATERIAL THAT HAD BEEN SUBPOENAED…
To date the County has not yet complied with the subpoenas. The Arizona Senate Republicans have asked…[for] access to all the rest of the relevant documentation–routers, splunk logs, scanned images, DVD files–which has been subpoenaed from Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BoS)…
