The much-anticipated audit of Maricopa County ballots in Arizona has been underway for more than a week. As of last Friday (April 30), the auditors announced that they had collected data from all relevant voting machines and that the audit would move into its second phase.
In a tweet posted last Friday night, audit officials said, “Big news! Today we returned half of the voting machines to (Maricopa) County after capturing all the data. We are now moving into phase 2 and beginning our forensic analysis. The audit continues.”
Former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who was appointed audit director, said in an interview with the Gateway Pundit on the evening of the 30th that they had increased the number of counting sites from 20 to 46 overnight. It is hoped that in the next day or two, the workflow of “three shifts” to double the speed to complete the audit work.
When asked by reporters whether any fraudulent votes were found, Bennett said that the audit process, will not update any relevant details, but wait until the end of the audit, the final conclusions issued by the report.
On April 23, Arizona officially launched work on a comprehensive forensic audit of nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County’s 2020 general election.
The day before the audit began, state Democratic lawyers filed an emergency lawsuit asking a judge to order a temporary halt to the audit on the grounds that “Senate Republicans did not have proper procedures in place to ensure the security of the ballots,” but the judge, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin, ruled that there was “no substantial evidence” that the audit had been conducted. “The state Democratic Party’s request was rejected by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin as “not supported by substantial evidence.
During the audit, Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs asked the state Department of Justice to intervene, citing “irregularities” in the audit, which was denied by Attorney General Mark Brnovich. After that, several leftist groups began petitioning the Biden administration’s Justice Department to stop the audit.
On May 1, audit officials wrote in a tweet, “Many so-called political groups are working to stop us, but the audit continues. What exactly are they (the left) trying to hide?”
Another tweet named Hobbs for using his authority as secretary of state to block the audit and post ballot photos on his private Twitter account.
Earlier, President Trump said in a statement, “Why are Democrats so desperate to stop this election fraud from coming to light? The answer to this is obvious!” “Thank you to the Senator from Arizona and others for beginning this comprehensive forensic audit. I predict the results will be shocking.”
To date, more than $1 million in private donations have been raised to support the audit. The entire audit team’s staff will resume work on the audit at 8 a.m. Monday (3) after a short break on Sunday.
In a newly released video, Bennett said, “Of the 2,595,272 voters eligible to vote in the November 2020 election (in Maricopa, which was audited), 2,089,563 cast ballots. We will verify until every ballot is confirmed.”
