Maricopa County Election Audit Result Are In!

• CNN gave us the word on Friday: Final report from partisan Arizona review confirms Biden defeated Trump in Maricopa County last November.
  
• Not to be outdone on the big news, the Wall Street Journal piped in on the news, too: Arizona GOP’s Election Audit Confirms Biden Win in State.
• Public Democracy America reported the results and took it up a notch:

The GOPS’ audit of Maricopa County, Arizona 2020 election confirms that American elections continue to be free, honest, and secure.

A hand recount, as required by Arizona Law, conducted by members of all three major parties found no evidence of voter fraud. On February 23, 2021, Maricopa County announced that forensic audits of its vote tabulation equipment, completed by U.S. Election Assistance Commission accredited Auditors, had found no irregularities in the machines. The GOP sponsored audit of the election by Cyber Ninjas found the same result. There is no election fraud in Arizona.

Their report took months to complete and millions of taxpayer dollars. But their findings confirm what we already knew—that American democracy is strong and our elections are secure.

Election integrity and American democracy remains intact—and a model for the rest of the world.

Every major news outlet reported the exact same news. Therefore, I’m sure you will not be shocked to learn that what they said is NOT what the audit showed at all!

Fact: Election Processes in Arizona are Rife with Fraud and Corruption

Here’s a story from Sunday that is full of “facts:”

Arizona Senate Report on the Maricopa County Election Audit Highlights 49,000 Questionable Votes, Asks AG to Investigate

The report of the Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit of the 2020 election released at a public hearing of the Arizona State Senate chaired by Senate President Karen Fann (R-1) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Warren Petersen (R-12) on Friday identified a number of significant election irregularities discovered during the audit.

Out of 3.4 million votes cast in Arizona in the November 3, 2020, presidential election, about 2.1 million were cast in Maricopa County. Of these, a little more than 1.9 million were early votes, either cast by mail or deposited in drop boxes.

Joe Biden was certified as the winner of Arizona’s 11 Electoral College votes over former President Donald Trump by Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) and Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) on November 30, 2020 by a margin of 10,457 votes. According to those certified results, Biden received 1,672,143 votes in the state, while Trump received 1,661,686 votes.

“The audit included a full hand-recount of all 2.1 million ballots from the 2020 General Election,” the report, Maricopa County Forensic Audit, Volume III: Result Details, began.

At the presidential ballot level, the report found very little difference between “the results of the hand-recount of the Presidential Race of the Maricopa County Forensic Audit” and the Official Maricopa County Canvass.”

Of 2,089,563 votes counted in the official Maricopa County Canvass of the November 3, 2020 election, 1,040,774 were cast for Joe Biden and 995,665 were cast for Donald Trump, a margin for Biden in the county of 45,109.

Of 2,088,569 votes counted in the Maricopa County Forensic Audit of the November 3, 2020 election, 1,040,873 were cast for Joe Biden and 995,404 were cast for Donald Trump, a margin in favor of Biden in the county of 45,469.

Establishment media outlets have celebrated the fact that the Maricopa County Forensic Audit hand count showed that Biden’s margin over Trump was 360 votes greater than the Maricopa County Official Canvass results. (Biden gained 99 votes, while Trump lost 261 votes in the audit hand count).

They have claimed these results confirm Biden “won” Arizona.

As Breitbart News reported, a draft of the executive summary, dated September 23, was leaked early Friday morning, and establishment media outlets focused on the statement in that leaked draft that, “there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the ballots provided and the official canvass results for the County.”

The official executive summary, Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit, Volume I: Executive Summary & Recommendations, as released by the Arizona State Senate on Friday afternoon and dated September 24, can be seen here.

The results of the audit, however, actually raise more doubts about the legitimacy of more than 49,000 votes included in the final counts of both the forensic audit and the Maricopa County Official Canvass results, a number that is more than four times greater than Biden’s 10,457 vote certified margin of victory.

Of these more than 2 million votes counted, the report stated the results of the audit found that there were questions about 49,718 of these votes that had a critical, high, or medium “potential impact the finding may have had on the election.”

The audit broke the election into four phases: “voter history, paper ballots, voting machines, and the certified results.”

Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit. Volume II: Operations & Methodology, stated:

The audit was designed to be a comprehensive review of the results from the Maricopa County 2020 General Election to confirm the effectiveness of existing legislation in governing elections, and to provide additional insights on possible areas of legislative reform that could ensure an even greater level of integrity and accuracy in how elections are conducted.

“For this reason, the audit focused on four main areas of the election process: voter history, paper ballots, voting machines, and the certified results. These four areas enabled the audit team to focus on factors that impact elections in order to highlight areas of concern,” the report continued. (Emphasis added).

Of the 49,718 questionable votes of critical, high, or medium severity identified in Maricopa County Forensic Audit, Volume III: Result Details, 34,466 of these were in the voter history phase, 12,660 were in the certified results phase and 2,592 were in the ballot phase. The report did not identify any questionable votes in the voting machine phase.

Here is a breakdown of those 49,718 questionable votes:

• 23,344 mail-in ballots were counted from individuals who no longer lived at the address to which the mail-in ballot was sent. The audit called these “mail-in ballots voted from prior address” in the voter history phase. (critical impact)
• 9,041 more ballots were returned by voters than received in the voter history phase. (high impact)
• 5,295 voters that potentially voted in multiple counties in the certified results phase.  (high impact)
• 3,432 more ballots were cast than the list of people who show as having cast a vote. The audit called this group of ballots “official results does not match who voted,” in the certified results phase. (medium impact)
• 2,592 more duplicates than original ballots in the ballot phase. (medium impact)
• 2,382 in-person voters who had moved out of Maricopa County in the certified results phase. (medium impact)
• 2,081 voters moved out of state during the 29 days preceding election in the voter history phase. (medium impact)
• 1,551 votes counted in excess of voters who voted in the certified results phase. (medium impact)

An additional 3,587 votes were in the “low impact” category across 14 findings.

Section 5.1 of Volume III of the report identified the ballot scoring methodology used to separate ballot findings into the four categories of severity as to their impact on the election results: critical, high, medium, or low:

Ballot related findings are scored based on the total number of potential ballots impacted by the finding. Based on the range in which this falls within, a Severity is assigned . . . In these circumstances a severity will still be assigned to the finding based on the potential impact the finding may have had on the election.

If a ballot finding impacted more than 10,000 potential votes, its severity level was classified as critical. If a ballot finding impacted more than 5,000 potential votes, but less than 10,000 potential votes its severity level was classified as high. If a ballot finding impacted more than 1,500 potential votes, but less than 5,000 potential votes, its severity level was classified as medium. If a ballot finding impacted less than 1,500 potential votes, its severity level was classified as low.

A separate report, Pattern Recognition of Early Voting Ballot (EVP) Return Envelope Images for Signature Presence Detection, was prepared by EchoMail and presented to the panel by its lead investigator, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. The findings of that report included the following:

• Maricopa County allowed 9,589 more Early Vote Ballot return envelopes (EVBs) to move forward to the signature verification process than the audit determined were eligible.
• Maricopa County counted 1,917,008 EVBs as eligible to move on to the signature verification process. The audit determined that only 1,907,419 EVBs should have been eligible to move on to the signature verification process. (Early voting ballots were contained within EVB return envelopes, which required a signature of the voter on the outside envelope prior to moving it forward to the signature verification process).
• 34,448 Early Vote Ballot return envelopes (EVBs) were duplicates, submitted by 17,126 individual voters, most of whom submitted two ballots, but some of whom submitted either three or four.

A third report on cybersecurity from a firm called CyFir, Digital Findings, was delivered by Ben Cotton. Key findings of that report included:

• Maricopa County failed to perform basic OS Patch Management;
• Maricopa County failed to update antivirus definitions;
• Maricopa County failed to preserve security logs;
• Maricopa County failed to establish and monitor host baseline; and,
• Maricopa County failed to establish and monitor network communications baseline.

The Fake News is lying about the Arizona audit report! The leaked report conclusively shows there were enough fraudulent votes, mystery votes, and fake votes to change the outcome of the election 4 or 5 times over. The number includes 23,344 mail-in ballots, despite the person no longer living at that address. Phantom voters! The official canvass does not even match who voted, off by 11,592—more than the entire Presidential Election margin. Voters who voted in multiple counties totaled 10,342, and 2,382 ballots came from people who no longer lived in Maricopa County. There were also 2,592 “more duplicate ballots than original ballots.” Just those fraudulent ballots alone total 50,252, and is fraud many more times than the so-called margin of “victory,” which was only 10,457. In addition, election data appears to have been intentionally deleted, and ballot images were “corrupt or missing.” This is not even the whole state of Arizona, but only Maricopa County. It would only get worse!

There is fraud and cheating in Arizona and it must be criminally investigated! More is coming out in the hearing today.

As the hearing began on Friday afternoon, Trump added this statement:

CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, and other Lamestream Media are feeding large-scale misinformation to the public about the Arizona Audit. The Audit was a big win for democracy and a big win for us. Shows how corrupt the Election was. Arizona State Senate hearing going on now and the information about what took place is terrible—a bigger Scam even than anticipated!

Midway through the hearing, Trump sent a third email:

It is not even believable the dishonesty of the Fake News Media on the Arizona Audit results, which shows incomprehensible Fraud at an Election Changing level, many times more votes than is needed. The Fake News Media refuses to write the facts, thereby being complicit in the Crime of the Century. They are so dishonest, but Patriots know the truth! Arizona must immediately decertify their 2020 Presidential Election Results.

Saturday morning Trump sent out a fourth email that read, “44,000 Ballots the Left Wants You to Ignore,” and included an image of the “Finding Summary Table” included in Section 5.2 of the report, Maricopa County Forensic Audit, Volume III: Result Details.

The theme that Maricopa County refused to cooperate with the audit was highlighted by each presenter during the hearing.

“I’m very disappointed to see that Maricopa County refused to cooperate with us. Not only did they not cooperate with us, they even went so far as to sue us,” State Senate President Fann said at the beginning of the hearing.

Fann added:

What you have not seen and not heard is about the statutes that were broken, how chain of custody was not followed, how we had a number of issues, which is why people questioned the ballots and the election. So I ask that you please keep an open mind, I ask that you please listen to this, because the reality of this is that this is all about making sure your vote counts.

At the close of the hearing, it was clear the State Senate expected the Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich to follow up on the results of the report aggressively. Brnovich signaled his intent to do so even before Friday’s afternoon hearing began.

Judiciary Chairman Petersen identified eight key points at the close of the hearing:

• The county’s obstructionism must be addressed. Their willingness to spend resources to block this audit;
• The numbers don’t reconcile. We should be able to pull up these election results and be able to come up with a reconciliation so everything balances;
• It appears they broke the law with duplicate ballots;
• Churning of logs. we need to find out why that happened. Who did it;
• Chain of custody;
• Failure to preserve data files;
• Cybersecurity weaknesses; and,
• The envelopes with blank signatures. We have a lot of questions there that need to be answered.

“I look forward to working with the Attorney General,” Petersen concluded.

Fann also highlighted the follow-up by the Attorney General.

“I have already transmitted a letter to our AG’s office with those reports. We are asking him to open up a formal investigation … perhaps get some of the missing things we were unable to get. I have every confidence he will be doing that,” Fann concluded.

Summary

Every mainstream media and Democrat in party leadership at the national and state levels are desperately hoping that NO Americans take the time or effort to look past the headlines published in every Mainstream newspaper, broadcast on every Mainstream television news and talk show, and promoted by Democrat Party mind-numbed robots trying to make names for themselves.

There was rampant cheating and the election results as reported are grossly incorrect. And these are from ONE county in Arizona.

So here’s the salient question: What is going to happen now? The Governor of Arizona swore in an affidavit presented to the United States Electoral College guaranteeing the final results on that affidavit represented the “actual” voters of every Arizonan who cast their ballot. Arizona’s panel of electors cast their votes in the electoral college based on that affidavit.

Will Arizona Governor Doug Ducey notify the Electoral College he will withdraw that affidavit?

There are many things that come to mind about this issue, but there are two really important ones:

1. If Ducey DOES withdraw his “official” election results affidavit, what will be the results be?
2. Worse, however, if Ducey DOES NOT withdraw his “official” election results affidavit, what will the results be?

With this conundrum swirling above his head, I’m certain the Governor had a tough weekend when it comes to sleep. Can you imagine the number of texts, emails, and phone calls he’s received about this?

There is a plethora of unanswered questions about U.S. election integrity. The questions about Maricopa County and Phoenix have only just begun to be answered. But what about those same questions about the election “irregularity AND fraud” in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and, OMG, Georgia?
