What’s wrong with Arizona’s 2020 audit? A lot, experts say

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — A cybersecurity firm plucked from relative obscurity to conduct an unprecedented review of ballots in Arizona’s largest country is readying to present its findings to Republican lawmakers. Republicans in the state Senate launched the review of the county ballots in April in an effort to find irregularities that could support former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election. A broad coalition of government and industry officials called the presidential election “the most secure in American history.” Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, said, “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” In Arizona, the number of problematic ballots reported was nowhere near Democrat Joe Biden’s winning margin of 10,400 votes. Among those leading the fundraising groups are Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security advisor; Sidney Powell, a onetime Trump lawyer who filed a number of baseless lawsuits challenging election results; Patrick Byrne, a former chief executive of Overstock.com; and correspondents from the pro-Trump One America News Network. Cyber Ninja’s Logan has said, citing no evidence, that he believes the CIA or its former employees may be involved with “disinformation” about election fraud, according to the Arizona Mirror.
