Maricopa County demands retraction on 2020 election audit deleted evidence claims
Washington Examiner via MSN ^ | 5/14/21 | Kaelan Deese

Posted on 05/15/2021 2:31:16 AM PDT by Libloather

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers rejected claims made about the controversial audit of the 2020 election, demanding a retraction of public statements about the suspected destruction of evidence.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, the leader of the Republican-majority Senate, wrote an open letter to the board on Wednesday evening informing them the auditors discovered three main "serious issues," claiming there was noncompliance of the legislative subpoena, chain of custody issues with the ballots, and evidence of database files being removed from the Election Management System computer.

"After reviewing the letter with County election and IT experts, I can say the allegations are false and ill-informed," Sellers, who is a Republican, wrote in a statement.

"Moreover, the claim that our employees deleted election files and destroyed evidence is outrageous, completely baseless and beneath the dignity of the Arizona Senate. I demand an immediate retraction of any public statements made to the news media and spread via Twitter," Sellers added.

Maricopa Arizona Audit, which asserts to be the official account for the 2020 election review, accused county election officials of deleting files off a server before it was delivered, a claim to which Sellers directly responded: "That would be a crime – and it is not true."

Fann's letter was published shortly after Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a stern critic of the Senate-led audit, raised concerns after one of her observers saw a Wi-Fi router connected to audit servers on Tuesday, which could jeopardize the security of election information. Maricopa Arizona Audit shot back: "No wireless was ever enabled."

Aren’t the accusations verifiable and self-evident?

Are we really at the point of denying reality?

It’s time for Red States to start nullifying federal law
American Thinker.com ^ | March 13, 2021 | Steve Baldwin / FR Posted on 3/13/2021, 7:11:13 AM by Kaslin

As we all know, the 2020 election was a “tipping point” election on many different levels. An election won with the use of illegal last-minute changes to state election laws has led to a rogue regime that threatens the very foundations of America. This is being achieved through highly questionable executive orders, the decimation of the concept of national sovereignty and an attack on fossil fuels, the lifeblood of our economy. Moreover, Biden is converting our military into a social justice agency and transforming our intelligence services into witch-hunters for conservatives who dared to protest a stolen election.

More alarming is the left’s goal to make its political power permanent by granting amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens, granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court, and normalizing the censorship of conservatives, not to mention the institutionalizing of election fraud, especially in key swing states.

There is little doubt, if history is our guide, that should the left achieve permanent political power, future elections will just become “show” elections, our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights will be diminished, if not gutted, and our economy will become permanently stagnant as with all other socialist economies in the world. It will be the beginning of the end of America as we know it.

Our Founders, however, were extremely wary of federal power and thus created a number of checks and balances to counter it. One of them was the ability by the states to “nullify” federal laws and even Supreme Court decisions. As most conservatives know, nullification is when a State decides to not abide by a federal law, regulation or even a Federal court ruling by simply refusing to enforce it.

Ergo, the Founders created a number of checks and balances to counter any royal pretensions by future elected officials.

BACKSTORY In the aftermath of the historically flawed 2020 election,
conniving Democrats finagled to control the election machinery, and, so far, have managed to avoid scrutiny.

The cast of lefty voter fraud characters are stupefying in their originality. We have seen stories of:
<><> shredded mail-in envelopes,
<><> lost thumb drives,
<><> wiped computers,
<><> slow-walked requests for documents,
<><> rigged voting machines,
<><> suspicious looking ballots,
<><> disappearing Trump ballots,
<><> a federal judge fixing the all-important Georgia Senate race,
<><> and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

There's lots of nail-biting in The Swamp WRT the mountain of voter fraud revelations being
readied for Jan 6, plus the ever-widening audience of voters hearing about voter fraud for the first time.

Penlosi, Schmanure and all the Pubbie sellouts McConnell, Sasse, Kinzinger, got sap-happy.....thinking they'd finally be rid of Trump.

At the same time, the sap-happy lefties want the flawed Biden administration to at least SEEM seem legitimate....
even with a doddering moron, his "Dr" wife at his side, and the greedy Biden Crime Family salivating in the wings.

Is that the reason for the gallons of vodka and valium in the Democrats' Capitol cloakroom?

=========================================

Q.Can the federal government revoke statehood?
A.Based on past history, statehood can be revoked.

In March of 1868, Congress revoked the statehood of 11 states - all states of the former Confederate States of America. This was done via the Reconstruction Act.

The states were divided up into military districts and placed under martial law. Do you think any of these states voted in favor of this? If you think that they were not states, then think again, as all these same states had been admitted back into the Union as evidenced by all of them voting to ratify the 13th Amendment. Their statehood was not restored until 1877 when 2 things happened - a deal was struck that they had to support Hayes' bid for the Presidency, AND each had to ratify, post facto, the 14th Amendment (and the real reason for the Civil war was, afterall, to get the 14th Amendment or something close to it).

And secession? Well, in Rawles' book from very early 1800's "A View to the Constitution of the United States' (which was accepted as THE authoritative work on the Constitution) he stated that secession was the final solution available to the states, and apparently several northeastern states (Conn and Mass for example) thought secession was an option too if we examine the Hartford Convention.

So, yes, the Civil War was supposedly fought to preserve the Union, but after it was fought and won and all southern states had their statehood reinstated (which Lincoln claimed they never lost), it was purposefully taken away from them by the north because the southern states plus New Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon were adamantly opposed to the 14th Amendment. Therefore, by removing the statehood of the southern states, they were removed from the quorum calculation. (source: Quora)

AZ is not saying files were NOT deleted, only that, as Bart Simpson once said "I didn't do it".

But, if they are going to claim innocence because their vendor did it, they (and the vendor) are in deep kimchee.

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers Is certainly more powerful than the State Senate.

He’s got Soros behind him, after all.

But why did they hook up a router if it wasn’t turned on???

Bizarro world rules. Like looking into a fun-house mirror, nothing is as it seems, and only a distorted and continuously shifting image appears. Invisible goal posts keep getting moved, resolution is denied along with reality.

One helluva fun ride, but it has to end soon. Some of the passengers are starting to throw up.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hey, it’s very simple .... just show the auditors where the files are. The auditors can’t find them & have records showing “deleted”, shortly before the machines were turned over to the auditors. Since you haven’t been able to come up with the ‘receipts’ (& there’s likely criminality in how they were deleted), you’re flinging verbal poo. If your employees didn’t do it (& they claim not to have had any Admin passwords when asked to produce them by the auditors ... a BIG problem because this means they were not in control of the election process), are you saying Dominion did it .... hmmmm? Verbal gymnastics & temper tantrums are not going to work with the ‘wolverines’ conducting the audit.

I think you are misunderstanding the story.

The bad guys are saying the good guys have a router connected.

Ok, SO WHERE ARE THE DB FILES???
And if the routers were never connected to WiFi, PROVE IT BY TURNING THEM OVER FOR EXAMINATION!

There could be a chance that the DB files thought to be deleted were a copy that was manipulated, then those tables updated to the real one, and then deleted to purge any evidence of the crime.

There’s a bit more information about this at this link and the back and forth between Karen Fann and Jack Sellers …. https://www.yourvalley.net/stories/maricopa-county-supervisors-reject-senate-request-for-meeting-on-election-audit,233902

So Fann asked for a meeting on May 18 “to discuss the auditor’s concerns, suggesting the meeting as an alternative to the Senate’s previous threats to file additional subpoenas against the entire five-member board…..”

Sellers response was that “The Board of Supervisors will hold a public meeting on Monday to refute lies and lay out facts about these issues.”

The comments that Fann made to this are at the above link…….

Sen. Fann told Capitol Media Services she has yet to hear from Mr. Sellers or anyone at the county about her invitation.
She said, though, they are missing the point if they are characterizing her letter as one of accusations. And Sen. Fann said the demand for a retraction makes no sense at all.
“I didn’t accuse them of anything,’’ she said. “I’m asking, ‘Please, here’s the questions we have, would you please sit down and talk to us about it?’’
But Sen. Fann made it clear that the planned Monday meeting by the supervisors is not a replacement for what she wants.
“He’s going to put out something that may or may not answer our questions,’’ she said.
“I don’t understand what they’re so afraid of?’’ Sen. Fann continued. “Why can’t they just sit down with us and give us an answer and explain?’’

…. It would appear that Fann’s question is the right one. If Sellers has nothing to hide, why is he carrying on as if he has? I think that it will be very interesting to hear what Sellers has to say at the ‘public meeting’. If this is truly ‘public’, I would assume that anyone can go there and ask questions directly, no?

Then perhaps you can explain to them at the hearing on Tuesday where the files went. Of course you will decide not to show up and explain yourself, so they will have to subpoena you.
