The Republican overseeing the controversial GOP-backed election audit in Arizona has reportedly been banned from entering the building where the recount process is ongoing, after he shared some data with experts that showed the results match the officially certified numbers in Maricopa County.
The Arizona Republic…newspaper reported that Ken Bennett had shared some of the audit data with outside experts showing that the ballot recount was tracking “very closely” with Maricopa County’s certified results…(which is – TRUMP LOST!)…
Although Trump and many of his Republican allies continue to claim that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election, they have not provided evidence to substantiate this extraordinary allegation. On the contrary, dozens of election challenge lawsuits have failed in state and federal courts. Even judges appointed by Trump and other Republicans have rejected the often bizarre claims.
The truth shall set you free. Bubba!

In a development that’s sure to fan the flames of a thousand conspiracy theories, a report from the $6M presidential election “audit” in Arizona has been delayed because COVID-19 has reportedly swept through the private company running the show. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/three-cyber-ninjas-got-covid-delaying-6m-arizona-vote-audit/

“Regardless of what the report says, Republican efforts to conduct similar reviews are underway. Republicans in both the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania legislatures are moving forward with similar investigations into the 2020 race. And on Thursday, Trump called for a review of the 2020 race in Texas, a state he carried in 2020 by nearly six points. Experts worry that the reviews suggest a new normal, where the losers of elections simply refuse to accept the results.”
