Fake news. OAN has the same access and camara video stream as everybody else. Other media sources are just afraid to report on this story.

BULLSHIT. Other media sources are being BARRED from entry. Only OAN is in their. One journalist snuck in as a poll watcher, and she was barred from entry the second day, after they found out who she was.



A fake cyber security company is doing an "audit" of the votes, without the following the state guidelines for an audit, using untrained workers, using blue and black pens which spoil the ballots. All of this is being records by an fake new network, which is financing this fiasco, based on the Donald Trump's lie that the election was "stolen".

What could possibly go wrong???

The Press is barred entry? Geez...you'd think it was a tax payer funded ICE detention center....

Are you ok with a private firm being given access to ballots which they can alter with no oversight?

as opposed to a "public" firm? someone has to do the audit. I would imagine if they want to present their evidence in Court...since this part of a Court proceeding, they would have to swear under oath...just like anyone else presenting evidence, including "public" firms...So, I am fine with it

Oh? What court ordered this audit?

Maricopa County Superior Court.

The Senate order the audit...the Dems filed a lawsuit, the Court said, fine, you can have an injuction....but you have to pay the folks that were about to do the audit for the time and prep, or it will go forward. The Dems didn't pay. The Court Order the audit to go forward.

Not quite. The Republican Senate didn't just order the audit, they subpoenaed the ballots. That's not a court proceeding. Not even with a court denying Democrats' attempts in court to prevent the audit.

Well the Senate doesn't belong to one party or the other...it's just the Senate. The Senate order a forensic audit...the Dems filed a lawsuit, the Court said they could have an injuction if they payed the cost already expended by the companies retained, they didn't...and order the audit to continue

Their Senate is under Republican control. Who the fuck knows why you tried to ignore that? Still, it's not a court ordered audit. It was ordered by Arizona Republican Senators who first issued the subpoenas. All the court did was to affirm the Senate had the legal authority to issue the subpoenas. That in no way makes this a court ordered audit as the court never ordered it. At most, they allowed it and even then, only because Arizona law allows their state Senate to authorize it.

Still, it's a sham audit. Despite some 80% of all ballots in all of Arizona being mail-in ballots, this audit is examining only ballots from the state's most left-leaning county. Rather than hire a reputable and qualified firm to perform the audit, they hired a company with zero auditing experience, led by a conspiracy nut who himself promoted the Big Lie. Now they're in possession of the ballots where their reportedly marking them up illegally with wrong colored pens and there's no oversight. They could be destroying ballots by marking votes for all anyone knows. Who knows why you're ok with that?

The Senate is the Senate...but whatever..

The Senate order the audit, the elected representatives of the people. The Dems filed a lawsuit, the Judge granted the injunction, if they paid the cost to the companies for the cost of what they have spent, if not the audit was to go forward...they didn't, those the Court's Order for the audit to continue went forward.

This isn't rocket science.

No, it's not, which leaves me wondering why you lied and referred to the audit as "court ordered" when it was really ordered by Arizona's Republican-led state Senate?

Because it was...the Court Ordered that the Audit continue, unless the Dems paid the contractors. They didn't...thus the Order was enforced.

This really isn't hard to grasp.

The court did NOT order the audit be continued. He simply didn't order that it be stopped. Legally this is a HUGE distinction. There is no court order to continue the audit and to say otherwise, is just another flat out lie, which is all that has been going on since the process started.

Republican audit of Arizona election results gets off to chaotic start as journalists denied access

Reporters invited to the news conference by a Florida-based PR firm was allowed into the briefing, but those notified about the event by the state senate’s audit liaison, former Republican Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, were blocked at the door.​

​

All the reporters were later allowed to attend the briefing, but the mood was contentious.​

​

Mr Bennett said: “We want everyone down here observing and not reporting. Arguing and asking me about it is not going to change anything about it.”​

​

It was announced on Wednesday that reporters would have to sign up as observers and work 30 hours to cover the audit. That was later changed to a single six-hour shift, but reporters were not allowed to bring notepads or take pictures. Mr Bennett argued that the arena where the audit is taking place doesn’t have enough space to hold reporters as well. The arena has 14,870 seats.​

​

“We had hours of conversation about how are we going to keep cameras from zooming in on ballots and all kinds of stuff. We just came to the conclusion the best way to allow reporters is to let them be in the observer corps and write your story right afterwards,” Mr Bennett said, according to Pinal Central. ​

​

He said they would hold press briefings each afternoon. At county election offices, reporters are allowed in to take photographs and document the process.​

wrong, the court in fact ORDERed the injunction if the dems paid the contractors for the money they would have lost for preparing, if the dems djdnt the Order thus said the audit could continue.

A Court speaks through its ORDERS

You're still lying. The court did not order the audit to continue. It allowed the audit to continue by not halting it as asked for by the plaintiff. In fact, the suit is still pending. The new judge can rule in favor of the plaintiff and bring the audit to a halt or he can rule in favor of the defendant which will allow the audit to proceed. There was no court order to audit the ballots or equipment.

Republican audit of Arizona election results gets off to chaotic start as journalists denied access

You really didn't need to submit more evidence that you're a fucking moron. Fucking moron, that's describing how reporters were allowed to report on a press conference the auditors gave. Except for OANN, they've not been allowed inside the Veterans Memorial Coliseum to report on the audit.

Maricopa County Superior Court.

The Senate order the audit...the Dems filed a lawsuit, the Court said, fine, you can have an injuction....but you have to pay the folks that were about to do the audit for the time and prep, or it will go forward. The Dems didn't pay. The Court Order the audit to go forward.

Not quite. The Republican Senate didn't just order the audit, they subpoenaed the ballots. That's not a court proceeding. Not even with a court denying Democrats' attempts in court to prevent the audit.

Well the Senate doesn't belong to one party or the other...it's just the Senate. The Senate order a forensic audit...the Dems filed a lawsuit, the Court said they could have an injuction if they payed the cost already expended by the companies retained, they didn't...and order the audit to continue

Their Senate is under Republican control. Who the fuck knows why you tried to ignore that? Still, it's not a court ordered audit. It was ordered by Arizona Republican Senators who first issued the subpoenas. All the court did was to affirm the Senate had the legal authority to issue the subpoenas. That in no way makes this a court ordered audit as the court never ordered it. At most, they allowed it and even then, only because Arizona law allows their state Senate to authorize it.

Still, it's a sham audit. Despite some 80% of all ballots in all of Arizona being mail-in ballots, this audit is examining only ballots from the state's most left-leaning county. Rather than hire a reputable and qualified firm to perform the audit, they hired a company with zero auditing experience, led by a conspiracy nut who himself promoted the Big Lie. Now they're in possession of the ballots where their reportedly marking them up illegally with wrong colored pens and there's no oversight. They could be destroying ballots by marking votes for all anyone knows. Who knows why you're ok with that?

The Senate is the Senate...but whatever..

The Senate order the audit, the elected representatives of the people. The Dems filed a lawsuit, the Judge granted the injunction, if they paid the cost to the companies for the cost of what they have spent, if not the audit was to go forward...they didn't, those the Court's Order for the audit to continue went forward.

This isn't rocket science.

No, it's not, which leaves me wondering why you lied and referred to the audit as "court ordered" when it was really ordered by Arizona's Republican-led state Senate?

Because it was...the Court Ordered that the Audit continue, unless the Dems paid the contractors. They didn't...thus the Order was enforced.

This really isn't hard to grasp.

The court did NOT order the audit be continued. He simply didn't order that it be stopped. Legally this is a HUGE distinction. There is no court order to continue the audit and to say otherwise, is just another flat out lie, which is all that has been going on since the process started.

wrong, the court in fact ORDERed the injunction if the dems paid the contractors for the money they would have lost for preparing, if the dems djdnt the Order thus said the audit could continue.

A Court speaks through its ORDERS

You just can't stop lying. There was no court order to audit ballots. There's no law that says a private company has to audit ballots so there's no court that can order Cyber Ninja's to do so.

No surprise this got moved to the conspiracy section,there’s that fascist censorship by our mods who censor facts and out just as much fascists as YouTube,Facebook and Twitter.

Spot on. Any lefty on this site can report a thread that is politically inconvenient for the left and request that a mod move it to the conspiracy subforum.

No wonder so many of these threads get suppressed the lefties report it to the leftie mods.

Now you understand why the Dims didn't want to examine the ballots. If they audit all the toss-up states, then there will be a call for Biden to stop down.

THIS IS HUGE! — BREAKING NEWS FROM ARIZONA AUDIT: The Number Of Illegal Votes In Maricopa County...​

​

On Saturday, the Arizona forensic audit continued at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in downtown Phoenix.​

​

In Arizona, for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in this large and crucial county.​

​

The Board members guaranteed everything was fine but they won’t let anyone get close to their results.​

​

They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results.​

​

However, regardless of their efforts to prevent an audit of the Maricopa County results the forensic audit is now taking place at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.​

​

The audit is being live-streamed from 9 different angles from the arena floor at azaudit.org.​

​

The election workers are running true forensic testing on the ballots!​

​

Something HUGE is being revealed there right now!​

​

Here’s what we’ve received on Sunday morning: ​

SNIP

Worthy Politics isn't reputable.

LOL, and you are?

They haven't been around long and they are hard right Christian conservatives.. Lying is acceptable. See if you can find any other sources.

You're not saying that "Worthy Politics dot com" isn't a top-notch, objective and honest news source, are you?

As opposed to CNN or TNYT or WAPO or any other "reputable" site that constantly gets caught in publishing or reporting LIES?

Try and imagine a group screaming that Trump stole the election in 2016 given the authority by a Democratic legislature to count all the ballots in 2017, and arguing that nobody should oversee what they are doing, including any pesky judges.

I’m sure the Trump cult would have been down with that.

Hmmmm, isn’t that what Democrat vote counters did in the past election, after they kicked out Republican observers? I think so.

The ONE independent reporter who had some minimal access noted that the "auditors" were all given black and blue pens.

That believe it or not is a huge no no. In any real audit black and blue colored pens are allowed nowhere near ballots . Red pens are THE pens used.

Why?

Because scanners only read black and blue and not red. If you want to mark a ballot as counted, you make a red mark on it and there's no way a scanner can "misread" that mark.

If you want to SPOIL or change ballots of course...you need a pen that scanners will see.

Or, during the election you kick out opposition observers and pull out single line ballots from under tables and continue the count.
Or you set the crooked machines to count Trump votes as Biden votes.
Or you have mysterious truck loads of ballots trucked from NY, to PA.
etc...

Now OANN is involved in Arizona's Senate election audit? Can this thing get any more absurd?
Opinion: The Arizona Senate's auditors have selected their broadcast partner for the election audit, a right-wing cable TV network renowned for spreading conspiracy theories. Why am I not surprised?

OANN will livestream Arizona's election audit? That's just absurd (azcentral.com)

The channel is known for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[41] On November 24, 2020, YouTube suspended and demonetized OANN's channel for one week as a first strike under its three-strike community guideline violation policy for advertising a false cure for COVID-19.[39]
One America News Network - Wikipedia

Fake news. OAN has the same access and camara video stream as everybody else. Other media sources are just afraid to report on this story.

BULLSHIT. Other media sources are being BARRED from entry. Only OAN is in their. One journalist snuck in as a poll watcher, and she was barred from entry the second day, after they found out who she was.



A fake cyber security company is doing an "audit" of the votes, without the following the state guidelines for an audit, using untrained workers, using blue and black pens which spoil the ballots. All of this is being records by an fake new network, which is financing this fiasco, based on the Donald Trump's lie that the election was "stolen".

What could possibly go wrong???

The Press is barred entry? Geez...you'd think it was a tax payer funded ICE detention center....

Are you ok with a private firm being given access to ballots which they can alter with no oversight?

as opposed to a "public" firm? someone has to do the audit. I would imagine if they want to present their evidence in Court...since this part of a Court proceeding, they would have to swear under oath...just like anyone else presenting evidence, including "public" firms...So, I am fine with it

I never said there was a law that requred cyber ninja to do the audit...why do you think there has to be a law for a Court to have an Order for someone to do something?

What I said was totally factual correct...the Senate speaking for the people that elected them order the audit, the Dems objected and filed a lawsuit..the Court speaking through it's Orders, Ordered the injuction the Dems requested, on condition they paid the company for money they would have lost preparing for the audit, and if they didn't Ordered the audit to continue

 

[Care4all]

The pro Trump, conspiracy pushing Cyber Ninja is set to go on to Michigan, for an audit there....after Arizona... Funny how these Republican legislatures all choose the same Cyber Ninja Firm to do their so called independent audits in all these different states.....

that surely is not an independent audit,

too bad the Republicans didn't hire an independent, professional election Auditing Service to run their audits, so the entire state could trust the results....

The republicans missed their chance to unite their state, and get to the truth...

BUT we all know, by this move of theirs, the truth is the last thing they want....
