Maricopa audit has processed over 1 million ballots to date. They added a 3rd shift yesterday. They are considering expanding the audit to include down ballots in Maricopa and possibly extending the audit to the entire state. It has been suggested by those involved in the audit that every county in the country that used the machines (Dominion and others) should do a similar audit.

Pennsylvania state senate leaders are in Arizona meeting with the AZ legislators and doing a review of the audit process.

NH, WI, GA are currently proceeding. PA, MI and others are on deck.

It's going to be a hot summer. Truth will be revealed.

Weird, sure, but not suspicious. I’m sure you know of plenty of never-Trump republicans. You should have expected a lot of split-ticket voting. Heck, I voted for 3 parties on mine.

Yes, but he got so many more votes second time? Biden numbers seem way to high. Heck he couldn't even draw a crowd at a rally. I'm ready for 2022 midterms.

And people weren’t really excited to vote for Biden, that’s why they weren’t at his rallies. They were very excited to vote against Trump. Pre-election polls confirmed this.

If you still think Biden was a better choice .... wow :lol:

I’m not claiming that as a personal opinion, but a large chunk of Americans saw and see Trump as an existential threat to the country, both on the right and the left. If you have watched the escalation following his election loss, I’d say those people have been validated. Trump was willing to rip the country apart to protect his ego.

So @TH Spangler will Trump be back in the White House by August? Mike Lindell and crew seem to think so. I mean since you're buying this whole election is stolen narrative, I'd imagine you're also buying into this. Maybe not :D

The probably-poorly-kept secret is that women’s public bathrooms are disgusting stink-pits. The men’s room will be cleaner and smell better, guaranteed.

I've been very slow to call foul after the last election, other than some advance, planned vote harvesting by the democrats. But I’m starting to wonder if it went deeper. I think the next election will be cleaner and we should find out then. Everyone who voted against socialism, defunding the police and boys playing in girls sports can’t wait for 2022 and 24.

The Venn Diagram of #stolenelection supporters and QAnon followers who believe lizards run the world more closely resembles one circle as opposed to two circles that partially overlap.

The hand counting of 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa county was completed on Friday. An initial report will be released this week and possibly on Monday (tomorrow). Voter canvas and machine evaluation remain to be completed. The final report is expected to be available in approximately 4 weeks.

20 or more states visited the audit site to learn about the process. Every interview that I have seen showed the visitors were very impressed with the professionalism, security, process and transparency of the audit. I expect to see more of these audits beginning this summer and through the fall in other states. This is the first time in the history of the world that a forensic audit has been done. Personally, I believe every state should conduct a forensic audit of each national election for 2022 and beyond.

I read this about a month ago but didn’t post it because I was just going to let it go. Since then I’ve read several similar reports from people familiar with election security audits. Obviously, any source has an agenda, so I’m not going to claim some superiority here, but if all of the interviews you have heard have been glowing reviews, you might want to think about varying your media consumption. We can get lost down many rabbit holes if we don’t peek our heads out and try to hear from different perspectives from time to time.

Of course influence watch is run by the conservative group, Capital Research Center, so like @stokesjokes said any source has an agenda. Which is why it is important to find different voices. It is pretty easy to get stuck in our own echo chambers in 2021.

Edit: This is why I appreciate www.allsides.com so much. It makes it pretty easy to read the same stories from several different perspectives.

Honestly, other than repeating the words “left-leaning” a bunch of times, it’s a pretty glowing bio. This is a person who knows election integrity and is well-qualified to criticize this audit, certainly more qualified than the people running it.

Also of note- if we can disregard her observations because she has a “left-leaning” bias, certainly we can disregard the results of an audit conducted by a company who were vocal Trump supporters and endorsed his election conspiracies long before being hired to conduct this audit.

As long as there are winners and losers there will always be conspiracies. Hanging chads come to mind, and don’t forget that the current conspiracy du jour in Maricopa is about paper ballots being sent in from China.

I do think there’s a general distrust of technology, especially from folks who remember a time before the tech, but I don’t think rolling the tech back is going to quiet the noise.
