The company that conducted Arizona’s sham review of the 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County during the 2020 presidential election is set Monday to deliver a report detailing their findings to the Republican state senators who ordered it up.
Elections experts in both parties have said for months that results of the so-called “audit” — conducted by the Florida-based company Cyber Ninjas, which had no experience auditing election results and is led by a man who has repeated wild conspiracy theories about election fraud — will not be credible.
The company and its volunteers and subcontractors did not follow standard auditing procedures. Observers from Democratic secretary of state Katie Hobbs’ office have repeatedly noted instances in which those conducting the audit have broken their own rules.
And the partisan nature of the audit and its funders — $5.7 million came from outside, conservative sources, compared to just $150,000 from the Arizona state Senate, which ordered the audit — has long cast serious doubt on its credibility.
No matter the results of the audit, the reality that Joe Biden is president and won Arizona’s 11 electoral votes last year will not change. But that hasn’t stopped former President Donald Trump and his allies — particularly far-right, pro-Trump propaganda outlets — from claiming otherwise and saying that other states should follow Arizona’s lead in conducting audits. Trump issued a raft of false statements ahead of a campaign-style rally in the state last month, and used the rally to repeat those lies.
“Does everybody here understand that the 2020 election was a total disgrace?” Trump said.
Trump’s allies have tried to export Arizona’s audit to other states — including Pennsylvania, where a state senator has sought to conduct his own review of individual counties’ results...

Boy, nothing like unbiased news sources.
An article apparently totally devoid of evidence.
There is very little actual journalism any longer. It’s all just propaganda.
If you wanted people to take the election results seriously the states shouldn’t have changed their election laws to make them less secure and then silence everyone who disagreed with it . Maybe Trump legitimately lost but if we are being honest the mail in ballots seem really dodgy,
Is Sham audit the official name?
They don’t even have any shame about it or try to hide it.
Many media outlets are fully, willingly, and voluntarily employed as propaganda arms of the Democrat party and their interests and allies.

CNN is ATT
ATT & Comcast — federally licensed telecom forcing its filthy hands all over a monopolized market.
They are as certain the election was stolen as we are, they just want to keep it that way and we don’t.
Just how many election audits have there ever been and who would have experience doing so?
The election was riddled with fraud.
FRAUD .
There is no way 81 million people voted for Biden. NO WAY !!!
Gee, it’s almost as though they believe the $hit’s about to hit the fan.
Pure Propaganda
Yet another example of media propaganda. I'd like to see a copy of the "standard auditing procedures" for elections. I doubt they actually exist. Most states have procedures for recounts, canvassing, etc. but those are not audits.
Somebody should do an open records request to the State of Arizona for their "standard auditing procedures".
Do the clowns at 'Local News 8' serve ANY real news with their tripe? Or do they view themselves as more of a 100% comedy troupe?
No bias there.
Subsidiary of Sham Wow!
They might be somewhat credible and a little bit believable if their product wasn't so biased and so one sidedly partisan.
You can read right through their prejudice and spin in what they are saying.
It is beyond fake news. It is laughable.
Very few, and no one person or organization may have experience in all aspects of such an effort. Each forensic election audit has to consider different issues, and the recent audit in Windham New Hampshire provides an example of the kinds of expertise required. In that case three academic experts in election technology teamed up with many volunteer election officials.
We are just seeing more media propaganda about the Arizona audit.
Let me explain to you how evil those in charge of our government are…. They are willing to have a debacle in Afghanistan, take down Biden, in order to create a narrative and news cycle that will marginalize this audit. Anyone with half a brain knows that if you are going to withdrawal… you get your people out before your combat power… this was not an accident and you can see that the folks put out in front to try and sell it all don’t believe a single word they are saying. Many of the people at the top of our Government believe they are good folks and still have a soul and the look on their faces is not because they are harried and overworked…it is because they know they are selling their souls in order maintain their security within the swamp. The ELECTION WAS RIGGED…and they all know it.
