Maricopa County officials decry 2020 recount as a sham
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/maricopa-county-2020-audit/2021/05/17/28292932-b74a-11eb-a6b1-81296da0339b_story.htmlThe Republican-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Monday denounced an ongoing audit of the 2020 election vote as a “sham” and a “con,” calling on the GOP-led state Senate to end the controversial recount that has been championed by former president Donald Trump.
.
In a fiery public meeting and subsequent letter to state Senate President Karen Fann, the board members said the audit has been inept, promoted falsehoods and defamed the public servants who ran the fall election.
.
Calling the process a “spectacle that is harming all of us,” the five members of the board — including four Republicans — asked the state Senate to recognize that it is essential to call off the audit, which officials have said is only about one-quarter complete.
.
“It is time to make a choice to defend the Constitution and the Republic,” they wrote. “We stand united together to defend the Constitution and the Republic in our opposition to the Big Lie. We ask everyone to join us in standing for the truth,” they added, using a term that refers to the false claim that the election was stolen.
.
In a calculated show of unity, they were joined by Maricopa’s other elected officials: the sheriff, a Democrat; and the Republican county recorder, who leads the elections office.

...Jointly, the county officials agreed that they would refuse to attend a meeting that had been called Tuesday by [state Senate majority leader] Fann to discuss what she had termed “serious issues” with the vote that Cyber Ninjas claims to have identified.

“I will not be responding to any more requests from this sham process. Finish your audit and be ready to defend what you’re finding in a court of law,” Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers (R) said at the public meeting.
.
Supervisor Bill Gates (R) said at Monday’s meeting that no county official would attend Fann’s meeting.
.
“This board was going to be part of a political theater broadcast on live stream by OAN,” he said, referring to the pro-Trump news outlet One America News, whose hosts have been covering the audit while some have also simultaneously raised private donations to pay for it. “We’re not going to be a part of that.” -
Wasnt it the Hitler Nazi guy who said that “if you keep telling a lie long enough and loud enough, eventually some people will start to believe it”?
That is kind of how I about the claims against the US election.

Why did the county delete their database?

"BTW, anybody watch the Stossel piece with Crowder?"When was that, and do you have a link? I thought Crowder had been kicked off YouTube.

@jolly Thanks. I watched for 10 minutes, will come back to it later today. It's the same story, he said the wrong things even though he was correct. So, demonitized and then silenced.

What I find interesting, is the fairly high percentage (at least IMO) of false addresses on the voting rolls.
People can say what they wish, but Florida has led the nation in trying to increase the integrity of their viting system since 2000. I think the current vote-by-mail law just passed is certainly the right step...In an effort to decrease ballot-harvesting, all mail-in ballots must be requested individually, with a signature.
Works for me.

Election officials in Arizona announced Friday that they had identified just 182 cases of potential voter fraud among the 3.4 million ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election. Of the 182 cases referred to investigators, only four have led to charges against those involved, and no one has been convicted. That’s .005 percent of the votes cast. Two of the four cases that resulted in charges were Democratic votes, and two were Republican. …
No one has been convicted. No person’s vote was counted twice. …
The Pima County Recorder’s Office has a practice of referring all cases with even a hint of potential fraud to prosecutors for review, something the state’s 14 other county recorders do not do. Pima County officials forwarded 151 cases to prosecutors. They did not refer 25 others from voters over age 70 because there was a greater chance those errors — typically attempts to vote twice — were the result of memory lapses or confusion, not criminal intent, an election official said.
…
Didn’t know that before, people older than 70 get a pass because the the county consider it more likely that their mistakes are due to memory lapses.About the few cases where some voters appeared to have attempted to vote twice … ”Franklin noted several factors at play, including worries about U.S. Postal Service delays. In addition, Trump at one point encouraged voters who cast their ballots early by mail to show up at their polling places on Election Day and vote again if poll workers couldn’t confirm their mail ballots had been received.”
