| 2021-03-21 |
| [Just the news] "The audit will be broad and detailed," state Senate President Karen Fann says. Republicans in the Arizona legislature will perform a full hand recount of the nearly 2.1 million votes cast in Maricopa County in the 2020 presidential election of, a state GOP leader announced this week. Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said in a statement released by Arizona Senate Republicans that state GOP leaders have decided on a "preferred forensic audit" the final details of which are currently being worked out. "The audit will be broad and detailed," Fann said. "[T]he team will include, but is not limited to, testing the machines, scanning the ballots, performing a full hand count and checking for any IT breaches.

| #14 I don't like it but I can't imagine they'd do anything to undo the election at this point. I'd like to see it, but just can't imagine it happening. SO the next best thing is to prevent it happening again and that starts with proving as much as possible and making sure it can't happen again. |

| #13 So in essence, the donks get a free pass for this election and we are told "it won't happen again". I'd much prefer to see some punishment for high crimes and misdemeanors. |

| #12 CrankyOldYankee, At this point the hope is not to over-turn but to ensure it doesn't happen again. |

| #11 We will be a laughingstock so long as absentee ballots decide our elections, period. No advanced nation with more than a few million voters relies on such an obviously shaky and fraud-prone way of voting. |

| #10 According to the Epoch Times (behind the paywall) are a number of bills working through the Arizona reconciliation process — passed in the state House or the state Senate earlier in March— to require sensible things like: Incidentally, Georgia’s House and Senate passed omnibus bills that include a number of these and other items earlier this month, and now need to be reconciled, as well as number of single item bills, which among other things would take supervision of elections away from the secretary of state. It appears the state Republicans there are highly displeased with being made an international laughingstock by the Progressive Democrat-supporting cabal, as the Newsweek report described it. |

| #9 OK so let's assume they find significant fraud and a recount shows Trump took the county and maybe the State...and then? and then? Ayuh, thought so. |

| #8 Although I have little faith a recount in a number of the areas would be helpful (without full signature verification and other things hit have been muddle up by now) I'm not sure about Maricopa and hope the Arizona GOP has some insight that this isn't a waste of time. |

| #5 Let's see how many of the 2.1M ballots turn up missing. |

| #4 Kabuki. How do you audit absentee ballots? There's no signature verification. There's no chain of custody. There is no audit process at all. |

| #3 Actually, if the recount turns out to not be very different from the official ... Whom are I'm kidding? |

| #1 One of the lowest points in this nation's history. Even the election of 1876 was resolved more intelligently than this shitshow. How much longer will we tolerate this ridiculous shit? |
