Arizona's latest election 'audit' is a prime example of a GOP political 'fraudit'

Not surprising to learn that above what the GOP Senate of Arizona stipulated as their $150,000 budget for conducting such (which is completely inexplicable given that it was previously audited twice by highly trained, educated and accredited officials) that those providing greater financial funding beyond such are all politically aligned with Trump in trying to overturn an election he legitimately LOST.

Thankfully there's still some Republicans out there that place a higher value on honestly, ethics, and integrity rather than blindly supporting their own (blatantly corrupt) party at all costs. Those individuals, I will always respect.

Can we get some real ninjas on this?

"Thankfully there's still some Republicans out there that place a higher value on honestly, ethics, and integrity rather than blindly supporting their own (blatantly corrupt) party at all costs. Those individuals, I will always respect."

Those aren't republicans buttercup

You do realise, don't you, that you basically just said that to be a republican one must always place party over principles (which is exactly what we're seeing with most GOP Senators and Reps these days) rather than the other way around. That is exactly why the party's become foundationally corrupt.

Republicans with principles over party get condemned as being "RINO". On reality those "RINO"s are the GOP's only hope of getting away from Trump's King-Midas-In-Reverse act.

Yep. Remarkably, in this day and age wherein global knowledge it literally at everyone's fingertips instantly, most republicans never bother to investigate whether the propaganda from Trump, Fox, et al, is actually true, or complete BS. Even more shockingly, they fail to recognise Trump's used the exact same propaganda playbook that Hitler and Goebel did decades ago in Germany.

If they weren't so allergic to education, they'd have the perspective to do that.

Cyber Ninjas are politically aligned with Trump. Whatever result they come up with is suspect.

So if they come up with no fraud, they did a good job. But if they do, it's suspect? Exactly what I've been saying you guys would claim.

Why are Cyber Ninjas, run by a dedicated Trump supporter, even involved?

I'm sure that a proper businessperson can set aside political bias in order to perform a job.

Just because he can doesn't mean he will.

Doesn't mean he won't

If he's anything like Trump he won't.

Based on personal experience, MiniApplets is a whole lot wiser than you are.

Everyone is allowed their own opinion.

There's a whole lot of assumption on your part going on there.

And there's a whole lot of assumptions on you guys as well

Everyone in the world's prone to assumptions but unlike many others, I have a propensity to seek out irrefutable documentary facts that would hold up in a court of law that either supports or negates such.

If they come up with no fraud, it merely reinforces two prior forensic audits conducted post election - by highly trained, accredited and non-partisan election auditors (unlike Cyber Ningas themselves) - but should they claim to find mass fraud, it will most definitely become suspect and will be challenged in court, which they will surely lose, just like the other 64 post election BS cases GOP lost.

There were no prior forensic audits. There were recounts by volunteers. Not highly trained accredited auditors. But as I suspected, any result that doesnt match what you think you know will be fraudulent right? No matter who does it. Biden himself could "find fraud" and psaki would say something along the lines of 'he must have seen an error, let me circle back".

Wrong. There was both a hand recount and forensic audits conducted by two separate companies - Pro V&V and SLI Compliance - both of which are certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (unlike Cyber Ninjas) back in February.

Here's an article pertaining to such...

And here Maricopa's reporting about such plus the actual audit reports from each company...

I will look into that information. Thank you for that. However, I have a question that you might be able to answer... The election officials claim to have done a forensic audit of the equipment as you so claim in your links, but they told the people performing this current audit that they didnt have the administrative passwords to get into the machines. So were they lying to try and prevent them from investigating the machines, stalling for time, or did they not do a complete forensic audit yet claimed to do so?

Further to my previous reply with regards to the passwords, the information is contained in a response letter dated May 17, 2021 from the AZ's Secretary of State to the Senate President. You will find the information on page 10, section 3" "We cannot produce what we do not possess; and, we do not possess additional passwords."

Ok. Thank you

Happy to oblige. Hope you're now beginning to realise - based on irrefutable facts - that the current AZ "audit" is in actuality a GOP political scam designed to advance Trump's bogus claims about a stolen election while also using it as an excuse to justify and introduce new voter suppression laws.

That information was previously reported on as well. I can't currently recall where I saw that issue previously addressed but it was either in correspondence between AZ Secretary of State, the Senate President and/or Maricopas Board of Election Supervisors or alternatively, public interviews conducted by the SoS and/or Board members. I'll have to go back and look through my bookmarks pertaining to the audit to know for sure.

From what I can recall though, the Board could not provide the passwords to the machines because they don't possess them, only Dominion does and Dominion refuses to hand them over because Cyber Ninjas are not governmentally accredited election auditors and have no certifications to even be able to perform such.

When I find the information that addresses that, I will provide you with the link to same.
