Ignore the Mainstream Media: Here’s What the 2020 Maricopa County Election Audit Actually Says
PJ Media ^ | 09/24/2021 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 09/24/2021 9:06:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A draft copy of the 2020 Maricopa County election audit has been leaked to KJZZ, a Phoenix-based radio station.

The validity of the draft report they obtained was confirmed by audit spokesman Randy Pullen, who said, “It’s not the final report, but it’s close.”

The media is already spinning the findings of the audit.

“The partisan review of Maricopa County’s 2.1 million ballots cast in the 2020 election found a vote count nearly identical to what the county had previously reported,” CNN reported. Like other liberal outlets, CNN focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit. As we know, hand recounts may account for slight discrepancies in counting but do not address irregularities or potentially illegally cast ballots.

So, let’s look into what the audit actually says.

“What has been found is both encouraging and alarming,” the report summary reads. “On the positive side there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the ballots provided and the official canvass results for the County.”

The summary continues:

However, while it is encouraging for voters, it does not allay all of the concerns:

Why do these matter? Because, according to the state-certified results, Joe Biden barely won the state by a 10,457-vote margin. The tiny margin of victory in the state-certified results means that these discrepancies are very troubling. There were 42,727 impacted ballots ranked as “high” or “critical” severity—that’s four times the certified margin of victory. If you include “medium” severity discrepancies, there were 53,214 impacted ballots—more than five times the certified margin of victory. Overall, there were 57,734 impacted ballots.

These findings don’t prove fraud, but certainly demonstrate the potential for fraud. And these impacted ballots have not been vetted.

...so the hand-recount of the fake ballots match, almost identically, the original tally of the fake ballots.

We shall see what the true final report says, but this is yet another indication that good old fashioned ballot box stuffing stole this election, not hacked Dominion voting machines.

Is there a conclusion in the actual audit report, or just findings?

Normally, there should be an opinion about if the results are a fair reflection of the activity, or if other steps need to be taken to conclude that the reported results accurately reflect the activity and "management" claims that the reported vote totals are accurate. Findings should be used to support the conclusion, not be the end of the story.

In other words, it cannot be certified. Nice.

RE: In other words, it cannot be certified.

OK, is there a law that says that a once certified election can, upon completion of a through audit, be DE-CERTIFIED?

This is what the propaganda media will focus on. They only care about the count of the fake ballots.

ranked as “high” or “critical” severity—that’s four times the certified margin of victory.


It seems clear that the severity ranking is closely related to how many ballots it affects, so that ratio is rather a circular argument. It is the total there that counts, and as you said it is multiples of the certified margin of victory. It also shows definitively that the County-run ‘audit’ was junk.

That actual report is not released yet. This was just a leak of a draft.

The actual report is due to be discussed and released this afternoon, in a couple of hours now.

Like LBJ did in the "Box 13" scandal in 1948.

Like JFK did in Chicago and West Virginia in 1960.

Who knows how many other times.

In those two cases, the election was stolen by the Democrats.

The GOP legislature has come this far. But there is a very slim majority and there are one or two who have definitely shown they will not support. But I am not sure who decertifies, the legislature or the Governor.

The state senate owns it, they can pass a law.

Bottom line is, a government employee 'certified' the election was held lawfully, within the tolerances of error required by Federal law. That is being proven as a lie and a criminal offense, leading to a charge of election fraud. With fraud, a quo warranto (by what authority) action can be filed in Fed court to de-seat federal officer holders as a result of the fraudulent election. And as fraud vitiates everything, any legislation passed in Congress would likely be void, and need to be redone without the representation of the states caught in '"... the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Today’s audit hearing will reveal there there were more than enough ballots illegally cast to shatter the approximately 10,000-vote “win” attributed to the Biden-Harris ticket.

It is extremely important to understand and spread this finding because many on both sides of the aisle will only read or hear the headlines that will say something to the effect of “hand recount confirms Biden victory” without comprehending the details. We knew there was a likelihood going into the audit that the hand-count wouldn’t be the real juice. Unfortunately, that nugget was a necessary inclusion and will be the only part that mainstream media reports.

Twitter is already trending with the topic titled, “State audit confirms that President Joe Biden won in Arizona’s Maricopa county, draft report says.” Sadly, this alone will prevent many from watching the audit hearing or reading analyses of the results. After all, if Twitter says Biden won, what’s the point in hearing anything else, right?

Here’s the part that the media will not tell the world. The draft report reveals there are at least 42,727 ballots that are categorized as “critical” or “high” impact discrepancies. These include ballots mailed from addresses where the voters no longer live (23,344), voters who voted in multiple counties (10,342), and more ballots returned by voters than received (9,041).

To all those trying to spin the Arizona Audit, spin this:

The number of illegal ballots found in Maricopa County alone is over 4 times the current amount separating President Trump and Joe Biden in Arizona as a whole.

Should have never been certified.

You want to know what this country desperately needs?

We need an organization that can set up a national voter integrity check system and that can raise tens of millions of dollars towards that national effort.

Just sitting back and somehow relying on the corrupt FBI or any other federal agency is absurd. We need a MAGA organization dedicated to this type of effort, and it needs to start now in advance of 2022 or even 2024.

I would most certainly donate to such an credible organization.

I am slightly surprised that someone like Elon Musk has not quietly created a voting system that (although nothing is ever perfect) would be extremely difficult to hack, would guarantee chain of custody, and would be perfectly auditable.

Machinery should be simple.

Software should be open source and should explicitly block anything other than additive functions based on the integer 1 (you can’t subtract votes, you can’t give partial votes). Logs should be kept so that the vote tally over time can be easily viewed (why were 5678 votes registered at precisely 5:12 PM on this machine? How is that possible?).

Additionally, recommendations should be made about Voter ID, purple fingers, and periodic purging of old voter lists.

It wouldn’t be hard.

Once a system were put out there by an entrepreneur, the current batch of politicians in each state may be reluctant to adopt the new system. And the voters in each state should ask “Why?” And political outsiders should run on a platform of “I’ll vote for that system and give you honest elections”.
