On November 30, 2020, lawyers for Trump’s team and Arizona lawmakers held a public hearing on election integrity in Phoenix.
Eddie Farnsworth, an Arizona Republican state senator, said on Monday that he would issue subpoenas to conduct a forensic audit of the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Maricopa County, home to more than half of Arizona’s population, during the 2020 election campaign.
According to KJZZ-TV, Farnsworth believes enough problems have been found with the accuracy and safety of the machines to justify the move, especially since Democratic Candidate Joe Biden won the state by a “narrow margin” of about 11,000 votes.
The announcement came after more than six hours of testimony Monday at a hearing of the Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee, which Farnsworth chairs. At the hearing, Republican state senators questioned Scott Jarrett, the director of elections for Maricopa County, about the reliability of the results.
“There is evidence of tampering,” Farnsworth said in announcing the move, according to the Arizona Mirror. “There is evidence of fraud.”
He added that the post-election audit was a necessary move to help restore confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of the elections, “and to try to see if we can inject some confidence back into our electoral process.”
“Let’s have an audit and see what happens,” he said. “Then we can fix this problem.”
Farnsworth added that he gets the impression from county officials that when it comes to fraud, they have no interest.
“I’m really concerned that the county is taking a position that it can’t happen.” “In the history of this country and this world, there has been a chain of white-collar crimes, digital crimes and some very complex people that the victims didn’t realize until some time later. I think it’s really, really dangerous for us to say, ‘This can’t happen.'”
Last week, Trump Allies conducted a similar forensic audit of the Domini voting machine in Antrim County, Mich., where 6,000 Votes for Trump were incorrectly reversed for Biden.
On Monday, a judge ordered the release of the audit. In the report, Russell Ramsland of Allied Security Operations Group, a network company that was audited under the supervision of county officials, said the devices were “intentionally and purposeful in design, with inherent errors designed to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
This conclusion has been challenged by state and Dominion officials, but “We Media” commentator Tim Pool argued that the state and Dominion are on the same side as the defendant in the case of election fraud, and their opinions do not come from an independent third party and cannot count.
