Derptacular-grade nutjobs running the third Arizona "audit"

[RandomGuy]

Holy crap the party formerly known as Republicans has gone off the derp-end.

After claiming a database was deleted, (it wasn't), and that these special purple lights would detect bamboo in the Sekrit Chineeze Ballots smuggled in (none), they are now going with ballot eating chickens.

But wait, it gets dumber.

The theory is that after the REAL ballots were destroyed by feeding them to chickens, the Republican on the board of supervisors SET FIRE TO THE CHICKENS TO COVER IT UP.

I shit you not.

---------------------------

We haven't talked enough about the chickens.

You see, one of the conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election in Arizona — the best one — is that, well, you see, on March 6, there was a big fire at a chicken farm in Maricopa County, specifically a chicken farm owned by family of one of the Republican members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. (The board, with its five members, is 80 percent Republican. Always remember that.) Clint Hickman, Republican board member and vice president of Hickman Family Farms, has had no patience for these BS stories about election fraud.

So, the fire. It killed 160,000 chickens. RIP chickens! But is it also RIP Arizona's real ballots? Because they were inside the chickens? Did somebody set the chicken coop on fire with the ballots inside the chickens? Were those chickens all "Ain't nobody here but us chickens AND THESE BALLOTS WE JUST ATE FOR LUNCH?"

As the Daily Beast reported a couple months ago, a weirdass group called the Arizona Patriot Party had done some amateur investigatin', and reported in its newsletter that it didn't smell like no burned up chickens out there, but rather "burned wood or paper." Was it BALLOTS?!?1!!!111? Joe Hoft, the stupidest brother of the stupidest man on the internet Jim Hoft, reported breathlessly at the time about "mysterious fire" and demanded to know "Did any shred catch fire in the chicken coops?" He meant BALLOT "shred," like from shredded ballots.

Inquiring minds needed to know.

In that spirit, you should know that Chemtrail Kelli Ward, Patron Saint of Batshit and actual chair of the Arizona GOP, went on the One America News Network earlier this week and threatened to arrest the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (80 percent Republican) for failing to take this very serious audit very seriously.


Kelli Ward, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, appeared on One America News, a far-right news network whose anchors launched a fundraiser for the audit, to imply that local officials might be arrested if they did not comply with legislators' demands.

"There have to be consequences," Ward said. "There could be arrests of people who are refusing to comply."

Local officials who refuse to comply and take Arizona GOP legislators and their fraudit seriously — what with all the obvious bamboo fraud and the chickens with the bellies full of the ballots burning mysteriously in the night! — they might just have to be arrested if they do not comply with the legislature's demands! How very dare they!

(To be clear, we have not heard reporting that the frauditors are personally trying to dissect burnt out chicken carcass to find the missing ballots, but this fraudit is going all summer, so give them a minute.)

Ward made that threat Monday, the same day the Maricopa board — the one that's 80 percent Republican — sent idiotass Arizona GOP Senate President Karen Fann that amazing letter reading the fraudit for filth and making fun of their bamboo X-rays. In that letter, they explained with small words and pictures how accusations that the board had deleted the Maricopa County voter database were horseshit. And what do you know, the frauditors admitted it was horseshit on Tuesday. They were just looking for it the wrong way, but now they found it! DERP.

But the damage had been done, as Donald Trump had already spent the weekend creaming his large golf pants over "DELETED!" and "UNBELIEVABLE ELECTION CRIME!"

Has anyone told the former president the story about the chickens? Somebody should tell him about the chickens.

Anyway, also Tuesday, the same day the frauditors admitted they were full of shit about the database, the county board responded to Ward's threats:

Kelli Ward responded back, and if you want to know what it's like to sniff bath salts, you can scroll through her Twitter and find it for yourself.

So everything is going well in Arizona, that's what this post is really about.

Oh, hey, the Daily Beast also reported on a fun thing we missed from earlier this week. Want to hear an Arizona GOP state senator talk in a normal voice like she doesn't need to immediately see a neurologist about how cool and wonderful it is that they are scratch 'n' sniffing the ballots to find the bamboo? She thinks it is cool and wonderful, just really great.

Her name is Kelly Rogers, and she is a real person, and she went on some wingnut Seth Leibsohn's radio show to talk about BAMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.


ROGERS: The most fascinating aspect [of getting to see the fraudit firsthand] was the table with cameras that have microscopic ability to look at each ballot to determine if the fibers of the ballot are made of wood or — I know there's a rumor out there that ballots were shipped in from overseas that were made of bamboo — this process can determine that!

The wingnut host was like WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MIND BLOWN.

Ain't none of THESE people gonna get BAMBOO-zled! Get it? Get it? Do you get it?

BAMBOO-zled!

Seriously, these people are fucking amazing, we would like to give them a medal or a gift certificate for talk therapy in recognition of how good they are at life.

Paul Manafort served on the Trump Campaign, including a period as campaign chairman, from March to August 2016. Manafort had connections to Russia through his prior work for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and later through his work for a pro-Russian regime in Ukraine. Manafort stayed in touch with these contacts during the campaign period through Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime Manafort employee who previously ran Manafort’s office in Kiev and who the FBI assesses to have ties to Russian intelligence.

The investigation did not always yield admissible information or testimony, or a complete picture of the activities undertaken by subjects of the investigation. Some individuals invoked their Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination and were not, in the Office’s judgment, appropriate candidates for grants of immunity. The Office limited its pursuit of other witnesses and information — such as information known to attorneys or individuals claiming to be members of the media — in light of internal Department of Justice policies. See, e.g., Justice Manual §§ 9-13.400, 13.410. Some of the information obtained via court process, moreover, was presumptively covered by legal privilege and was screened from investigators by a filter (or “taint”) team. Even when individuals testified or agreed to be interviewed, they sometimes provided information that was false or incomplete, leading to some of the false-statements charges described above. And the Office faced practical limits on its ability to access relevant evidence as well — numerous witnesses and subjects lived abroad, and documents were held outside the United States.

Further, the Office learned that some of the individuals we interviewed or whose conduct we investigated — including some associated with the Trump Campaign — deleted relevant communications or communicated during the relevant period using applications that feature encryption or that do not provide for long-term retention of data or communications records. In such cases, the Office was not able to corroborate witness statements through comparison to contemporaneous communications or fully question witnesses about statements that appeared inconsistent with other known facts.

Arizona audit loses tech company that was leading hand recount
(https://www.rawstory.com/arizona-forensic-audit-2653105315/)
An information technology company has backed out of running the hand recount of ballots in the infamous Arizona election audit.

The contract with Pennsylvania-based Wake TSI ended as scheduled on May 14, the original completion date for the hand count of ballots cast in Maricopa County, and the company chose not to renew its contract, reported AZCentral (https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/05/25/cyber-ninjas-subcontractor-strattech-solutions-takes-over-arizona-election-audit-hand-count/7429980002/).

"They were done," said Randy Pullen, an audit spokesperson and former state GOP chair. "They didn't want to come back."

The Scottsdale-based technology company StratTech Solutions is now in charge of the hand count,

although it's not clear the firm has any election or auditing experience.

Arizona’s Recount Has Identified Serious Discrepancies

On a lighter note, Matt Gaetz has arrived to ensure the recounts keep on truckin’

For those of you who may have forgotten, the amount of votes that Republicans are convinced to be tainted is 2.1 million.

an elections expert, Jennifer Morrell,

Morrell, had the privilege recently to be invited by the Arizona secretary of state to observe the unquestionably biased recounting of

those votes that “could no way, no how have been cast for Biden, we’re all Trump people out here, get it?”

Ms. Morrell had this to say about the audit:


The idea of a government handing over control of ballots to an outside group, as the state Senate did when hiring a Florida contractor with no elections experience (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/arizona-recount-cyber-ninjas/2021/04/16/b3cbbf08-996e-11eb-962b-78c1d8228819_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_2), was bizarre.

This firm, Cyber Ninjas (https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/26/republicans-arizona-vote-audit-florida-484737), insisted that it would recount and examine all 2.1 million ballots (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-arizona-recount/2021/04/29/bcd8d832-a798-11eb-bca5-048b2759a489_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_2) cast in the county in the 2020 general election.

So I figured it would be unconventional.

But it was so much worse than that.

In more than a decade working on elections, audits and recounts across the country,

I’ve never seen one this mismanaged


The orange-clad observers were steeped in the art of “there is a conspiracy everywhere, just to look hard enough” and followed Ms. Morrell everywhere.

They also made it their business to report everything they found odd about her like the one time her foot entered by chance into the taped-off “no go” zone.


Several times someone asked to test my pen, to ensure it really had red ink.

Once, they even demanded that I empty my pockets, in which I carried that pen and a pair of reading glasses.

I was allowed to ask only procedural questions of the Cyber Ninjas attorney;

I couldn’t talk to anyone else performing the work.

The atmosphere was tense


the Ninjas, who knew long before the audit commenced that Trump had been cheated out of his rightful re-election victory ...

had evidence that thousands of falsified ballots were flown in from South Korea.

paper used in the US so scales were brought in to weigh paper.


The fourth reason was folding.

The auditors reasoned that only absentee voters would fold their ballots;

an in-person, Election Day voter would take a flat ballot, mark it in the booth and submit it, perfectly pristine.

I almost had to laugh:

In my experience (My comment: Experience is a fool’s paradise to rightwingers),

voters will fold ballots every which way, no matter where they vote or what the ballot instructs them to do.

Chalk it up to privacy concerns or individual quirks —

but no experienced elections official would call that suspicious

Nothing can change the certified result — nothing will because no fraud will ever be found.

The only fraud lies with Cyber Ninjas and their over-the-top “scientific” methods.

They don't believe that anymore than they believe in small government or democracy.

Any argument that is expedient to help them cling to power. Any lie.

Hell even when they don't have to lie, they still lie, just for the fun of it.

Inside observers say the Arizona 'auditors' are backtracking —

and the reality only supports Biden's win

Among their early findings (https://www.nationalmemo.com/arizona-forensic-audit-2653074322) were tens of thousands of ballots where most of the votes were cast for Republicans, but not for Trump —

and many were cast for Biden, which provided a factual explanation for Trump's loss.

what the contractors are doing in private, behind locked doors in a Phoenix warehouse, is the opposite of what they have been saying in public, which is pedaling vote-theft conspiracies.

the issues raised have little to do with validating voters, ballots and votes.

It is not headline news that election administration is complex, that officials do make mistakes, and — crucially — that the process usually catches and corrects them.

But what is going on here is But, publicly, the Senate contractors are not telling anyone what is going on. Instead, they are suggesting with bluster that they are hot on the election theft evidence trail.

Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann reciting her oft-stated disclaimer (https://ktar.com/story/4358700/senate-president-fann-says-finding-answers-goal-of-maricopa-county-audit/) that

the inquiry was not about overturning her state's 2020 presidential results,

but merely addressing the doubts of Republican voters.

"At no time have we ever implied or inferred that there is any intentional misdoings here in any way whatsoever,

and, in fact, we certainly hope not," she said (https://youtu.be/q5PI_QvbOiw?t=7414).

"But we do need to have this information and answer these questions."

Pulitzer praised the patriotism of the donors who have funded the inquiry and the 1,500 volunteers who "made this happen," saying,

"The Arizona Senate only paid $150,000 for what ends up being a $9 million audit." :lol billionaires trying to buy "fraud" and Trash's reelection

they also keep pointing toward the conclusion that

Biden won Arizona's presidential election, and

that Maricopa County's administration of that election,

while not perfect, was not fraudulent.
