Quote For that reason, even though an IRS audit might annoy you and cause you some stress, you’d eventually realize that you have nothing to fear as long as the audit is done fairly and properly. But you’d likely feel differently if the IRS outsourced the audit to someone who: Had no applicable professional credentials Had never previously run a tax audit Believed that Hugo Chavez had nefariously controlled your tax-auditing software Had publicly stated prior to examining your taxes that you’d certainly committed tax fraud That is what is happening to elections in Maricopa County, Ariz. — the home of almost two-thirds of Arizona’s voting population.

June 2, 20214 yr Observers of the Arizona audit say they were mocked over shirt color and witnessed software malfunctions, security violations, and personnel issues with the controversial GOP-led ballot count https://www.businessinsider.com/observers-of-arizona-audit-allege-software-malfunctions-security-violations-2021-6 Quote In the past week, those experts said they have reportedly witnessed security gates left open and unattended, confidential materials being left in the open, prohibited pens near the ballots multiple times, unauthorized cell phones on the counting floor, and confirmation that concealed firearms are allowed on the counting floor. Observers noted Cyber Ninjas software malfunctions that forced the company to roll back an update in the middle of the day. Witnesses also allege Senate Liaison Ken Bennett confirmed that copies of the voting system data were sent to an unspecified lab in Montana, with no mention of what they intend to do with copies of the data or for how long they will keep the data. Staggering incompetence.
June 3, 20214 yr Controversial audit of Arizona ballots continues amid new allegations of incompetence A partisan audit of the 2020 election in Arizona continued this week, with further accusations of ineptitude against the firm running it and a gubernatorial campaign launch from a top Democrat opposing it. The audit of votes in Maricopa County, which has drawn criticism from a number of local Republican officials, will not affect the actual results of November’s election but has been used in right-wing media to justify the widespread belief among Republicans that the 2020 results were fraudulent. It’s being spearheaded by Cyber Ninjas, an obscure Florida-based cybersecurity firm whose CEO has promoted election conspiracies, and which was hired by the GOP-controlled state Senate to handle the process. On Tuesday, the office of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs released a report detailing what it described as serious problems with the audit that had arisen over the last week. Among the issues listed were a Monday software update "that created so many errors and problems during the first shift that they stated they were going to roll back to the old software during the afternoon shift” and the fact that "copies of voting system data [were] sent to a lab in Montana.” Per Hobbs’s office, there were no specifications on "what security measures were in place, or what the lab in Montana will do with the data or how long it will be in possession of the copies.” Contractors working for Cyber Ninjas recount ballots from the 2020 election in Phoenix after two election audits found no evidence of widespread fraud. (Courtney Pedroza/Getty Images) "Observers saw that at least three people who are not residents of Maricopa County rifling through thousands of military and overseas ballots,” read the report. "Observers had been previously told that only Maricopa County residents would be allowed to handle any ballots, yet all three people were not residents.” The report accused workers of carrying black pens on the floor, which is not allowed because the pens can be used to alter ballots. Observers quoted in the report also stated that "audit co-chair Randy Pullen told an observer that the shirt he was required to wear on the floor made him ‘look like a transgender’ because of the color of his shirt.” Maricopa County — the state’s largest — is where the most Arizonans reside. Biden narrowly won Arizona in November, becoming the first Democrat to do so since Bill Clinton took the state in 1996. With the highly suspect audit stretching past the initial deadline set by Cyber Ninjas, the stadium where it is taking place has been visited by Republicans who are promoting former President Donald Trump’s baseless claim that the election was stolen from him. This week, three Republican state legislators from Pennsylvania, including one who had been a leading advocate for Trump’s false allegations, visited the stadium. Last month, embattled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., held a rally in Maricopa County, where the audit was a key topic of discussion. The actual process was on pause at the time because the building was being used that weekend for high school graduations. "So, let me just check and make sure with all of you: Who do you think won in Arizona on Nov. 3?” Greene asked, with Gaetz adding, "We are here in solidarity with the Arizona election audit.”
June 4, 20214 yr Trumplicans want to recount in PA at taxpayers expense. What a scam. Pa. Republican lawmakers travel to Arizona for GOP election audit https://www.pennlive.com/news/2021/06/pa-republican-lawmakers-travel-to-arizona-for-gop-election-audit.html Three Pennsylvania lawmakers will be in Arizona Wednesday to check out the state Senate GOP’s partisan audit of the 2020 election. They’re the latest Republicans to make a pilgrimage to Phoenix, Ground Zero in the "stop the steal” movement’s push to find support for the far-fetched conspiracy theories suggesting the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. The latest visitors are Pennsylvania Sens. Doug Mastriano and Cris Dush, and Rep. Rob Kauffman. They’ll meet with Arizona legislators at the Capitol before touring the site and getting a briefing from the auditors, according to a terse statement from the audit team Tuesday. None responded to interview requests on Tuesday. Mastriano has become a one-man force in conservative politics in Pennsylvania, leading anti-mask protests last year, pushing to overturn Trump’s reelection loss and showing up outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot. In November, Mastriano organized a hearing in Gettysburg that featured Rudy Giuliani and a phone call appearance by Trump in which the president claimed the election was rigged and urged state lawmakers to overturn the result. All three visiting Pennsylvania lawmakers were among the 64 Republican legislators who signed a letter asking the state’s congressional delegation to object to Pennsylvania’s electoral college votes being cast for Biden.

June 30, 20214 yr Questioning election results is crazy. By KAREN MATTHEWS and DEEPTI HAJELA Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The Democratic primary for mayor of New York City was thrown into a state of confusion Tuesday when elections officials abruptly retracted their latest report on the vote count. As evening fell, New York City's Board of Election withdrew data it had released earlier purporting to be a first round of results from the city's new ranked choice voting system. That data had shown Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain who would be the city’s second Black mayor, had lost much of his lead and was ahead of former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by fewer than 16,000 votes, a lead of about 2%. Then the Board of Elections tweeted that it was aware of "a discrepancy” in its report on ranked choice voting results. It didn't explain what that discrepancy was or how big an impact it had on the tally. "We are working with our RCV technical staff to identify where the discrepancy occurred. We ask the public, elected officials and candidates to have patience,” it said. Reached by phone, a spokesperson for the board wouldn’t elaborate. Then, without any further explanation, the board withdrew the vote data entirely and replaced it with a message saying results would be updated Wednesday. The confusion was a black mark on New York City's first major foray into ranked choice voting, and seemed to confirm worries beforehand that the Board of Election, which operates independently from City Hall, was unprepared for the election. The results initially released Tuesday, and then apparently withdrawn, were incomplete to begin with because they didn’t include any of the nearly 125,000 absentee ballots cast in the Democratic primary. The Associated Press removed Tuesday’s vote update from its published vote count after the board of elections pulled the results. The numbers had shown that civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley was also still within striking distance of victory, with fewer than 4,000 votes separating her from Garcia. Adams’ campaign said in a statement that it remained optimistic he would ultimately prevail. "Earlier today, the Board of Elections released a ranked choice voting simulation based on last week’s election results that they have since acknowledged include ‘discrepancies.’ We are waiting for an explanation and still confident in our lead.” The publicized vote totals had included an unexpected jump in the number of ballots counted Tuesday compared to the number counted on the day of the primary. Garcia said in a late afternoon news conference, before the numbers were withdrawn, that she was confident she had a path to victory, but wasn't "counting any chickens before they've hatched.” "I’ve not crowned myself anything yet. You’ve gotta wait until the votes have been counted," she said. Elections officials had planned on conducting another round of ranked choice analysis on July 6 that would include absentee ballots. New York City’s primary went into a state of suspended animation a week ago while officials prepared to give the public its first look at results from the city’s new ranked choice voting system. Under the system, voters could rank up to five candidates in order of preference. Since no candidate was the first choice of more than 50% of voters, a computer on Tuesday tabulated ballots in a series of rounds that worked like instant run-offs. In each round, the candidate in last place was eliminated. Votes cast for that person were then redistributed to the surviving candidates, based on whoever voters put next on their ranking list. That process repeated until only two candidates were left, Adams and Garcia. When voting ended June 22, elections officials only released results showing who voters put down as their first choice for the job. In that count, Adams had a lead of around 75,000 votes over Wiley with Garcia close behind in third. In the reports initially released Tuesday factoring the full range of voter rankings, Garcia was boosted into second when former presidential candidate Andrew Yang was eliminated in the 10th round of tabulation, then another boost when Wiley was eliminated in the 11th round. Wiley could still win if she is favored among people who voted by mail. "I said on election night, we must allow the democratic process to continue and count every vote so that New Yorkers have faith in our democracy and government. And we must all support its results,” Wiley said in an emailed statement. While elections officials wouldn't say what "discrepancy” they were investigating, vote totals released by the board in the mayor’s race increased by 125,800 votes between election night and Tuesday, even though election officials said that no absentee votes were added. A small part of that increase was due to input from additional ballot scanning machines not initially counted. Another small part is due to write-in votes being counted. But the majority of it was unexplained by elections officials. The increase in votes didn't appear to excessively benefit any particular candidate. The Democratic primary winner will be the prohibitive favorite in the general election against Curtis Sliwa, the Republican founder of the Guardian Angels. Either Adams or Wiley would be the second Black mayor of New York City, and either Garcia or Wiley would be the first woman mayor. Adams, 60, is a moderate Democrat who opposed the "defund the police” movement and said that under his leadership, the city could find a way to fight crime while also combating a legacy of racial injustice in policing. He was previously a state senator before becoming Brooklyn’s borough president, a job in which he lacks lawmaking power, but handles some constituent services and discretionary city spending. Garcia, 51, is a city government veteran who ran as a nonideological crisis manager well-suited to guiding New York out of a once-in-a-century pandemic. Garcia ran the department of sanitation from 2014 until leaving last September to explore a run for mayor. De Blasio also tapped Garcia to run an emergency food distribution program during the coronavirus pandemic after earlier appointing her interim chair of the city’s embattled public housing system. She earlier served as chief operating officer of the city’s department of environmental protection, responsible for water and sewer systems. Wiley, 57, served as counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio and previously chaired a civilian panel that investigates complaints of police misconduct. A former legal analyst for MSNBC, she ran as a progressive who would cut $1 billion from the police budget and divert it to other city agencies.
