Democratic officials in Arizona are sweating over the upcoming results of the 2020 election audit, and have launched a pair of preemptive strikes against a report that could come as soon as next week according to Politico.
In a Thursday rebuttal, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs tried to poke as many holes as possible in the audit - while also trying to reassure people that ballot equipment was tested before and after the election.
Hobbs called the GOP Senate-led effort "Secretive and disorganized," and claimed that they routinely failed to follow best practices for an audit.
One Republican, Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer, joined Hobbs with a lengthy rebuttal of his own - an open letter to state Republicans casting doubt on the credentials of the auditors, while also defending his own reputation.
Since late April, contractors hired by the Republican-controlled state Senate have been reviewing all the ballots cast in Maricopa County, which President Joe Biden won en route to flipping the state, along with examining election equipment.
Julie Fischer, a "Deputy Senate liaison" for the effort, told POLITICO that the contractors' report - the firm leading the effort is called Cyber Ninjas - is expected to be submitted to the state Senate on Monday, and a hearing will be scheduled after that.
Election officials in the state have opposed it nearly every step of the way, including Richer, Hobbs and the GOP-controlled Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
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.
