2020 Election Audit Results Released
To be honest, I’m already tired of proving and explaining that there was no large-scale fraud in the 20 elections. In response, I hear selective conspiracy theories: “all the judges were intimidated, and information about this was removed from the Internet” or “Trump was forced to appoint Attorney General Barr, and the latter is a traitor.” This week new evidence came to light, which clearly shows how cynical those politicians who are still promoting the topic of fraud are, and how stupid those who believe them are.
Let me remind you that in 2020, Trump lost to Biden in Arizona. Mainly in Maricopa County (it is one of the largest counties in the entire US, accounting for 60 percent of the entire state's population). As a result, whoever accused the district (under the control of Republican election officials) of fraud. The courts did not produce any results, after which the State Senate ordered an audit, which was entrusted to the company Cyber Ninja, whose head made loud statements about falsifications. The audit dragged on from the planned weeks to months, the cost increased from 150 thousand to 10 million (paid for by pro-Trump NGOs). As a result, it turned out that Biden won, although there were opportunities for falsification (precisely opportunities, not falsifications themselves). The response was sent to the state attorney general's office, headed by a Republican, which began an audit... Nothing was heard about the results of the audit for a long time except for a statement from the state attorney general that the election system was flawed. The elected democratic prosecutor decided to make public the results of the investigation, while journalists decided to conduct their own investigation of the investigation.
The results personally amazed me, even though I never doubted that nothing would be found. Here is some data from the report of the prosecutor's office (let me remind you that the report was prepared under the leadership of a Republican prosecutor, who wanted to be elected to the Senate from the Republican Party, but lost the primaries):
- the work was based on the audit conducted and the prosecutor’s office checked data on possible violations from there. Violations were not confirmed
- a total of 10 hours of staff time were spent on the audit review
- a report indicating the absence of fraud was made several months before the midterm elections, but State Attorney Mark Brnovich did not report the end of the investigation and the absence of fraud
- the information published in the interim report was not entirely reliable. Journalists received internal correspondence between Prosecutor Brnovich and employees, from which this became clear: for example, the preliminary report made complaints about the actions of the district’s electoral authorities, but the prosecutor’s office employees who conducted the audit asked to change this part, since the district actively cooperated, providing all documents without problems )
- the losing candidate for Secretary of State in the last election, Mark Fincham, who is still tirelessly talking in the media and social networks about proven fraud in the 20th year, could not provide any evidence for his claim that 30 fraudulent voters were registered in Pima County. Moreover, Fincham directly said that he had no evidence of falsification and he did not want to waste time from investigators.
- Arizona Senate member Wendy Rogers, who also still talks about large-scale fraud in the 20 elections, refused to meet with investigators at all
- Another state Senate member, Sonny Borrelli, who said the county was orchestrating a cover-up operation to hide fraud, could not name any specific county actions, but did provide information about one voter who died but was listed as having voted in the election. The audit showed that such a voter had never voted in the state and had never lived in the state.
- The NGO True the Vote, which provided information for the film “2000 Mules,” which allegedly proved massive fraud, also did not provide investigators with any evidence.
