AUDIT UPDATE WITH DR. KELLI WARD 7/10/21- Arizona Senate Conducting New Count of Maricopa County Ballots Arizona Senate Conducting New Count of Maricopa County Ballots BY ZACHARY STIEBER July 10, 2021 Updated: July 10, AUDIT UPDATE WITH DR. KELLI WARD 7/10/21- Arizona Senate Conducting New Count of Maricopa County Ballots https://www.theepochtimes.com/arizona-senate-conducting-new-count-of-maricopa-county-ballots_3895508.html 2021 The ballots cast in Arizona’s largest county in the 2020 election will be counted for a third time on orders from the state’s Senate. Nearly 2.1 million ballots submitted in Maricopa County for the presidential contest were tabulated, as normal, by election officials. They were recounted by hand by audit teams hired by the Arizona Senate in a process that was completed late last month. Now the Senate will do its own recount that will provide a number to compare to those from the county and from the auditors. “Maricopa County says there’s 2,089,563 ballots. We did the hand count, and they’re finalizing that number, but we just wanted a third number to tie everything together, make sure we have more—the more data points, the better,” former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, the Senate’s audit liaison, told The Epoch Times. The new count will focus on the number of ballots and will not count the actual votes, unlike the first two tabulations. The Senate will use two counting machines that it purchased to complete the count, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, told the Arizona Republic. ”We’re going to run all the ballots through to see how they match up,” she said. “If there ends up being a difference, we’d have another count.” The machines arrived on Friday. They appeared to be from U.S. Paper Counters. The machines are said to be able to count up to 2,000 sheets per minute. The count will go quickly, likely wrapping up in under a week, audit officials say. Audit teams, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, began counting ballots and doing other work in April. They finished recounting and examining the ballots at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix in late June. The state Senate is paying $150,000 for the audit, which likely costs much more. A nonprofit and the Republic have asked courts to compel the body to make public records detailing outside parties helping shoulder the cost. County officials oppose the audit. The county Board of Supervisors called for it to end in May. County officials announced recently that they would replace all of the election machines because of concerns about the equipment being probed by auditors. A fourth ballot count is still on the table. That would involve contracting with a California-based nonprofit called Citizens’ Oversight, which uses what founder Ray Lutz describes as a set of computers that would do “a total retabulation of the election.” “We’re still working on that,” Bennett said. The audit has run past the projected time. Cyber Ninjas said in a document from March that its work should be done in 35 days, followed by a five-day period to produce a final report on its findings. Teams have other duties besides the third ballot count. They’re working on a process to check signatures from mail-in ballot envelopes using images from the county. Auditors are “double- and triple-checking everything,” Pullen said. The final report is still expected in August.
