A day before Arizona Senate President Karen Fann's special meeting on the Maricopa County election audit, county officials tried to portray the Republican leader's effort as amateurish at best.
Maricopa County's Twitter feed joined the fray, sharing portions from a formal letter signed by the five supervisors, Recorder Stephen Richer and Sheriff Paul Penzone, responding to Fann's May 12 letter.
"NO chain of custody issues. We provided what they asked for except for routers, for security reasons. 'Auditors' trouble locating info we provided is THEIR problem." Neither Fann's office nor the Senate Republican Caucus responded to Just the News queries seeking more information about one of her letter's more explosive claims: that contractors found a "Significant number of instances" where the number of ballots in a batch did not match the total on its "Pink report slip." According to the county's response letter, the discrepancies are the result of damaged ballots that cannot be read by tabulation machines and are duplicated for bipartisan review boards.
"Maricopa County did not spoil any evidence," and the issues identified by Fann "Are either incorrect" or have a "Reasonable and valid explanation," the letter says.
The recorder blasted Fann for claiming she doesn't control the official election audit Twitter account, whose pinned tweet as of Monday accused the county of deleting election databases before turning over equipment.
"Zero election files." The 14-page letter released by the county late Monday fleshed out many of Richer's brief responses to several issues identified in Fann's May 12 letter.
Finally, the county will not turn over its routers because they "Provide a blueprint" to the entire network, no different than burglars obtaining a blueprint to a house that marks "a hidden wall safe." Sharing the blueprint could put the county at risk for a ransomware attack and endanger "Data related to the most sensitive law enforcement programs," the letter says.
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.
