THAT was a shocker. I ASSUMED they would come out with Chinese bamboo, fake ballots, Communist takeovers or some such and THOUSANDS of votes missed for Trump.
All that BS, MONTHS long for NOTHING which HAS to tick off the ultrarightwingnutjobs.
They actually found several HUNDRED more votes for Biden missed by the first audit.

I heard they found over a thousand votes for Biden; that is hilarious. 😆
However, this whole recount thing could be a ploy for much worse.
@sonhouse saidWhy should anyone believe the Cyber Ninja result instead of the state of AZ electoral commission's result?

The discrepancy is so small as to be insignificant. Less than 0.02 %, well within tolerance for any election.
@sonhouse
And not only in America. The Russians are meddling in UK and German elections, too, instilling the same doubts about the process itself. Putin wants nothing more than to see democracy fail; he wants not to have to go through the charade of stuffing ballot boxes any more. He'd rather just have power w/o having to simulate legitimacy.
@moonbus saidAnd that's exactly the direction Trump wanted to go, but he was foiled by people who value the Constitution.

@mott-the-hoople saidAudit the audit and then audit that. Then after one more audit we'll get straight to the bottom of it.
that was the count, the count included the fraudulent votes described later in the article .
There were thousands, including duplicates, no signature ect.
Also it was stated the election should not have been certified.
Should not have been certified?
At some point you gotta accept the process can't be perfect but is fundamental to a functioning government.
@Mott-The-Hoople
So lets have yet another 'audit'. No, lets make it THREE more, that way MAYBE we get to the bottom of it.
Is that the gist of instructions from your Russian handlers?
@wildgrass saidat some point it has to be accurate...its telling that you dont think nothing of all the fraud covered here. would you feel the same if it was the other party?

the goal of this audit was not to overturn but identify fraud, and it did
@sonhouse saidyou perform like a well trained monkey...did all the investigations about russia only finding it was clinton and the democrats colluding with russia not register with you? they ingrained it in your brain didnt they? now that it has been proven false why do you continue with it?

<<GOP Senate President Karen Fann has said that the goal for the audit was not to overturn the election results but rather to evaluate the state's election processes and see if changes to state laws were needed. She noted the review found the official count matched the ballots. "This is the most important and encouraging finding of the audit," Fann wrote.>>
While not disputing the final tally (Biden won by 45,469 votes), Cyber Ninjas claimed there are lax procedures in the law.
<<Maricopa County Responds
The Cyber Ninjas report claims a number of shortcomings in election procedures and suggested the final tally still could not be relied upon. Several were challenged by election experts, while members of the Republican-led county Board of Supervisors, which oversees elections, disputed claims on Twitter.
“Unfortunately, the report is also littered with errors & faulty conclusions about how Maricopa County conducted the 2020 General Election,” county officials tweeted.
Election officials say that’s because the review team is biased, ignored the detailed vote-counting procedures in Arizona law and had no experience in the complex field of election audits.
On Friday, the County tweeted a "fact check" thread where it disputed most of the election issues brought up by auditors. Some of those disputes involve mail-in ballots, address mismatches and people voting in multiple counties. Election officials continue to refute those claims by stating those cases involve common names of multiple people, military and overseas voters, and recent address changes.>>
In short, Cyber Ninjas, who have no experience of voting law, simply did not understand the legal procedures in place to prevent fraud. There was no fraud. There may have been a FEW votes miscounted, but no fraud. "Fraud" means intent to steal an election. Did not happen. Get over it. Move on.

@mott-the-hoople saidThe entire point of an election is to pick a winner. Why would you audit an election result if you were not interested in whether the right winner was picked?

Were voting machines tampered with? No. Did dead people vote? No. Bamboo fibers? No. Forgeries? No. These were all claims made by the Trump team that turned out to be false. What additional fraud are you referring to?
It was accurate. Those changes in the vote totals were insignificant and well within a reasonable number given the millions of votes cast.
@mott-the-hoople saidRemember that time we hired a special prosecutor named Ken Starr to "investigate" Clinton's real estate deals but instead he spent 5 years and $52 million writing 450 pages about a BJ?

That politically-motivated investigation made "Russia collusion" look like child's play.
@wildgrass saidClinton did, Trump didnt…that is your error.
