That’s been the case all the long. If the election was clean why have they tried to shut down every attempt for transparency?

Arizona's top election official details 'a constant barrage of harassment' during unprecedented GOP-backed ballot recounting

  • Arizona's top election official is receiving harassment during continued election controversy.

  • Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told Insider that it's making it harder for her office to do its job.

  • A private firm is conducting a GOP-backed and widely-criticized "audit" of 2.1 million ballots.

More than six months and two audits after the 2020 presidential election, Arizona Republicans are still legitimizing election conspiracies by paying a private contractor to conduct what they describe as an audit and recount of all the votes cast in Maricopa County.

The high-profile and baseless questioning the integrity of the 2020 election has resulted in harassment directed at election officials that still persists over half a year later.

On Thursday, Arizona's Secretary of State Katie Hobbs tweeted that she had received a threatening call to her office from someone who said they wanted her dead. The next day, on Friday, 12 News/KPNX reported that Gov. Doug Ducey had deployed 24/7 state trooper protection for Hobbs, the second instance she's received official protection since November.

 

"The threats are bad, but there's also just a constant barrage of just harassment and attacks," Hobbs told Insider in a Friday interview, adding that the deluge of angry calls is spilling over into divisions of the Secretary of State's office that have nothing to do with elections.

"My biggest concern in terms of staff is that they're calling every line that they can get to in our office," she said. "And so it's disrupting business services, it's disrupting the museum. We're having to do again what we did, right after the election, and so it goes straight to voicemail and it just makes it harder for everyone to do their jobs serving our state."

The Republicans backing the ballot-counting exercise call it a recount and an audit. Both descriptors are ones that seasoned election officials bristle at.

"It certainly not either one of those things," Hobbs told Insider.

 

The state Senate, using its subpoena power, took control of 2.1 million ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election in the county and hundreds of ballot scanners and ballot marking devices. The Senate turned everything over to a controversial Florida-based firm called Cyber Ninjas that has no experience in election audits but has been tasked with overseeing the recounting of all ballots in the nation's second-largest voting jurisdiction.

Outside experts and officials, including Republican election officials like Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman, have spoken out against the procedures, which diverge significantly from the detailed procedural norms and mandate for bipartisan counters in Arizona's regular hand-count audits.

"Anyone who's conducted any type of audit, not even specific to elections, would tell you that you lay out the procedures, you have to have things done in a way that's going to produce valid and reliable results," Hobbs said.

In a detailed six-page letter to state Ken Bennett, the state Senate's liaison to the audit, Hobbs outlined problems her observers and others have seen with the exercise. They include inconsistent standards for the recounting and storage of ballots and documentation of the proceedings, which is compounded by a lack of transparency that led the Arizona Democratic Party to sue to get more access.

"They're throwing out different numbers to reporters every day about how many ballots they counted. And sometimes it's so nonsensical that it seems like they're going backwards counting," Hobbs said. "Our observers are completely shut out, nobody will talk to them."

In her letter to Bennett, Hobbs said the lack of standard counting and aggregation procedures is "a significant departure from standard best practices utilized by jurisdictions and experts across the county," and "raise[s] serious doubt about the accuracy and reliability of any result of this process."

The security lapses detailed in Hobbs' letter and other reports include "ballots left unattended on tables," "ballots being tallied using scrap paper rather than official tally sheets, and "forensics team computers left unlocked and unattended."

In response, the official @ArizonaAudit Twitter account said that Hobbs "continues to make baseless claims about this forensic audit but has never led an election audit in her entire career."

The procedures include examining ballots with UV lights to search for nonexistent watermarks and searching for bamboo fibers in ballots because of a baseless conspiracy that thousands of ballots were smuggled to Arizona from China.

Hobbs told Insider that the "so-called audit...is making a mockery of everything we do to conduct fair, secure, and accurate elections."

The counting exercise, much like the persistent lie that the 2020 was stolen itself, has no clear end date or resolution. As of Wednesday, only a little over 200,000 of the ballots have been recounted. Cyber Ninjas' lease on the facility ends on May 14, with high school graduation ceremonies scheduled to take place in the space shortly after.

Hobbs believes that no matter if or how the exercise ends, the goalposts for justifying false claims of fraud will keep shifting.

"They continue to say, 'Oh, voters have concerns.' And it's the same politicians who have created the concerns because they refuse to stand up for the integrity of our elections. And these are elections that were conducted according to laws that they passed as legislators. So it's just mind-boggling," she said.

The conduct of Cyber Ninjas is also now on the radar of federal law enforcement. Pamela Karlan, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, sent a letter to Arizona State Senate President Karen Fann warning that Cyber Ninjas having custody of the ballots for an undetermined amount of time may run afoul of federal elections laws requiring election officials to preserve ballots for 22 months after an election.

Hobbs worries that the precedent it sets could cause long-term damage.

"For the voters of Arizona, this is an exercise to continue to undermine their confidence in our election systems. And that's harmful potentially in perpetuity to our elections, in terms of voter participation," she said.

Hobbs said that fellow chief election officials around the country "are very concerned," adding that Cyber Ninjas and their backers in the Arizona legislature "are writing the playbook here and chomping at the bit to try to do this kind of thing in other states."

Sheriff Goes Ballistic After Arizona Recounters Demand Access To County Passwords

 
 
Mary Papenfuss
·Trends Reporter, HuffPost
Mon, May 10, 2021, 8:01 AM
 
 

The private company conducting the GOP 2020 election recount in Arizona is now demanding access to government internet routers and passwords, which the Maricopa County sheriff blasted as “mind-numbingly reckless and irresponsible” and a threat to law enforcement.

Sheriff Paul Penzone (D) said in a statement that providing router information to a shadowy private company led by a conspiracy-embracing CEO would compromise sensitive and highly classified law enforcement data and equipment.

“The Senate Republican Caucus’ audit of the Maricopa County votes from last November’s election has no stopping point,” Penzone said. “Now, its most recent demands jeopardize the entire mission of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.”

In addition, citizens’ private information, including voting histories, addresses, phone numbers and Social Security numbers, could fall into the hands of Cyber Ninjas, the company hired by the GOP-led Senate to conduct the recount.

In response to Senate subpoenas last week, county attorney Allister Adel explained in a letter that turning over the requested routers or “virtual images” of routers not only poses a significant security risk to the sheriff’s office, it also “puts sensitive, confidential data belonging to Maricopa County’s citizens — including Social Security numbers and protected health information — at risk as well,” reported the Arizona Republic.

Access to the routers “might compromise county and federal law enforcement efforts and put the lives of law enforcement personnel at risk,” Adel added.

The recount of 2020 races Democrats won in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, was launched last month by Cyber Ninjas, owned by conspiracy theorist Doug Logan, who retweeted messages months ago predicting that any Arizona audit would inevitably uncover hundreds of thousands of uncounted votes for Donald Trump.

Logan’s company is examining ballots using ultraviolet light in a crackpot hunt for “bamboo” particles that allegedly would suggest the ballots were planted by China.

One of the recounters is a former local lawmaker who was at the Capitol riot. Former state Rep. Anthony Kern’s name is also on the ballots he’s “auditing,” as both a candidate for reelection (he lost) and as an elector for Trump.

The county has already turned over all 2.1 million general election ballots, voter information and election equipment to the Cyber Ninjas in response to state Senate subpoenas.

Last week, the state Senate decided to delay the personal canvassing of voters, in which Cyber Ninjas operatives grilled residents about their voting. Republicans in the Senate backed off after receiving a complaint from the U.S. Department of Justice that such action could amount to illegal voter intimidation and civil rights violations.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann told the Justice Department that if that portion of the project is restarted, canvassers “will not carry a firearm or other weapons” when they knock on citizens’ doors.

Pamela Karlan, principal deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s
Civil Rights Division, also expressed concern in her letter to Fann that ballots were not secure, since they’re “no longer under the ultimate control of elections officials, are not being adequately safeguarded by contractors, and are at risk of damage or loss.”

It’s been almost six months since Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) certified the state’s election results, with Joe Biden beating Trump by 10,457 votes. Biden edged out Trump by more than 2 percentage points ― about 45,000 votes ― in Maricopa County.

Since then, multiple election audits have been conducted in the county, with no fraud or irregularities.

Trump, who persists in lying that he won the election and that it was stolen from him, has been telling guests at his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida that a vote “upset” in Arizona claimed by the Cyber Ninjas could be his road back to the White House.

I will just drop this right here.....According to the US Census Bureau Biden's Winning is Impossible according to the Numbers.

 

https://libertyonenews.com/us-census-bureau-confirms-huge-conflict-in-total-number-of-voters-in-2020-election/?fbclid=IwAR31ZmMAPXP63vDML3UDhrYIYhh6no18heFsSfyiUi-1nQU83dYNNAvkn0s

 

One of the questions the Census Bureau asks is if you voted in the last presidential election. The numbers have usually been very close and the times it wasn’t close, the Census count was much higher (By as much as 9 million).

But this time it was much lower than the census count by 4 million votes.

It is just one of the many hard things to explain about the 2020 election. Four million votes could have made all the difference in the world as far as outcome goes.

Check out this chart:

Trump-Obama-Biden.jpg

Via Election Wiz:

US Census data released last week called into question the official vote tally from the 2020 election. As part of the Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report as having voted in presidential elections. The collected data shows an unusual anomaly in the reported results.

According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.

Speaking to pollster Richard Baris during an episode of “Inside the Numbers,” lawyer Robert Barnes said historically, the Census tends to “pin on the nose” the recorded vote numbers with the actual results. In other words, often the two data sets reasonably match.

VIDEO OF THE DAY

Barnes is right. For example, the bureau was nearly spot-on in 2008, slightly under-reporting that 131,100,000 voted, while the official results showed 131,300,000 ballots cast.

Of course, sometimes the Census has missed the mark. But for decades, in almost every case where the Census grossly botched the results, it was because the bureau over-recorded the number of those who voted.

Consider the following: In 1992, the Census over recorded the official results by slightly more than nine million. In 1996, the Census again over recorded the number of reported voters by roughly nine million. Similarly, the bureau recorded the number of those who voted in the 2004 election as 125 million, while official results placed the total at 122 million.

Since the routers don’t record and save the information transferred to and from the County it is not possible to see any data with social security numbers and health info in routers.  This is total BS – said one of our experts who looked at this.

Pretty obvious what has happened. There is something wrong if certain people believe stealing an election is ok.

Like him or not President Trump was making America great again. This dementia laden idiot posing as President 

 is ruining our great country. Obvious biden is just the puppet being controlled by probably bama and his minions.

No because the "expert" in the article said so.  Do you know anything about routers? I do and I'm not an expert and I know they don't log that kind of information.  The Democrats are stalling and lying to the Court.

Routers are pretty much the same all over the world, some have more security features than others, but none of them store data that is transmitted through them.  It is pretty common sense if you sit down and think about it.  All the data that gets transmitted runs into the terabytes, the routers don't have enough memory to store that much information.

Jordan Klepper Shows Arizona Auditors How Easy It Is To Spread Election BS

 
 
Ed Mazza
·Overnight Editor, HuffPost
Thu, May 13, 2021, 4:36 AM
 
 

Jordan Klepper of “The Daily Show” received a first-hand look at the Arizona audit: a Republican-led examination of the 2020 election ballots carried out by an inexperienced company run by a conspiracy theorist who supports former President Donald Trump.

He also found out that the carnival next door was being run more professionally.

Two auditors insisted that they were just trying to debunk conspiracy theories. They explained the wild claims involving secret watermarks and hidden bamboo and said that they were looking into these issues because people believed it. But Klepper wasn’t buying it.

“Is there is a chance people believe this because people add fuel to the fire by elevating this and therefore letting that be part of the conversation?” Klepper asked.

Then, he offered up a taste of their own medicine.

“Are you looking into the Hungarian vector?” he asked.

“I didn’t know about that one,” one of the auditors said.

“What’s the Hungarian vector?” the other asked.

“It’s a bullshit thing I just made up that sounds cool and a little bit spooky,” Klepper shot back.

By the end of the interview, things were getting a little tense:

 

“Cyber Ninjas,” a firm with no experience in conducting voter audits, is performing the audit. So far, witnesses said it looks like a haphazard process. One reporter spotted auditors using pens with black and blue ink, which would alter ballots and were not supposed to be used as a result.

One Republican who initially supported the audit now regrets it.

“It makes us look like idiots,” state Sen. Paul Boyer of suburban Phoenix told The New York Times in an article published Sunday. “I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”
