The Arizona Democratic Party did not post the $1 million bond to protect the audit team from financial losses.
PHOENIX - A major political dispute over the results of last year's presidential election in Maricopa County is developing for now, the audit sponsored by the Arizona State Senate Republicans will continue.
A Maricopa County judge ordered a pause after state Democrats filed a lawsuit to block the audit.
Maricopa County delivered the first shipment of ballot-counting machines Wednesday for Arizona Senate Republicans' audit, but only after the Senate agreed to shield the county from any legal or financial liability connected to the audit, according to documents obtained by 12 News.
The handover of the machines on Wednesday and 2.1 million county ballots on Thursday are part of Senate Republicans' unprecedented audit of Maricopa County's 2020 presidential vote, won by Democrat Joe Biden.
Later in the afternoon, the Arizona Democratic Party and the sole Democrat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors are suing in an effort to block the Arizona Senate's ballot recount and audit of the county's 2020 election.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
