The debate over the 2020 election has been granted new life, as Arizona state senate republicans have successfully managed to secure an audit that will recount all the ballots cast in Maricopa County, as well as forensically auditing the voting machines.
The audit began Friday and in short order Arizona Democrats filed a lawsuit to pause it, citing concerns it would cause “irreparable harm to the integrity of Arizona’s election systems” by revealing private voting information.
The judge in the case — a Republican appointee who has since recused himself due to a professional relationship in his office by one of the attorneys filing the suit — agreed to pause the audit if Democrats posted a $1 million bond, which they declined to do.
Now a new judge has been assigned and a hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning. And all sides, including former President Trump, have begun to weigh in. Meanwhile, the audit goes on.

For their part, Democrats believe the firm hired to conduct the audit is biased against the results of the 2020 election.
Republican state senators in Arizona have hired a Florida-based firm called Cyber Ninjas to oversee the audit. That move has raised concerns among Democrats, because of past tweets from the company’s chief executive spreading conspiracy theories about a stolen election in Arizona. Those tweets were deleted earlier this year.
President Biden carried Arizona in the 2020 election by a scant 10,000-vote margin, making Trump the first Republican presidential candidate to lose the state since 1996.
Trump weighed in over the weekend, calling for security to protect the auditors and shaming Arizona Governor Greg Ducey for not providing it. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is getting in front of whatever the results might be by declaring them already the purview of QAnon.

Anyone who believed the country had moved on from the political sniping surrounding the 2020 election should take a breath and get ready for round two.
Nobody doesn’t like Sarah Lee..
”This audit will be shut down tomorrow, guaranteed”
How can you be so sure?

There is simply a lack of honor among democrat judges.
Judge was replaced with a democrat, new hearing in the morning.
Good, so they would be just like the Press Corpse.

The Clinton lawyer leading Dem opposition is from Perkins Cole. His name is Mark Elias. He has lead the cover up in multiple states from finding out the truth of the recent election. Now he is in Az.
The newly appoint Judge Daniel Martin in Maricopa also worked at Brown & Gain in 1992 and it is now called Perkins Coie. So we have a judge directly involved in the opposition law firm. The original judge had former clerk working for the white hats and stepped down so as not to show bias. How about the new guy, Martin? Something really stinks with this!
These swine are so predictable they are boring.
Yes, I’m aware of that. I’ve been following this closely. We’ll see what happens.
“Judge was replaced with a democrat, new hearing in the morning.”
So the first judge recused, because he had a previous working relationship with one of the dem attorneys, and has been replaced by a judge who had a previous working relationship with the dem attorneys but will not recuse?
Umm ... I don’t understand all I know about this.
Democrats believe the firm hired to conduct the audit is biased against the results of the 2020 election.
That’s hilarious because you effin cheaters had a bit of bias in you as well.
Can’t stand their pizza
(only half in jest) How about making them accept in advance the results of the audit? (because they tried to get Trump to commit in advance of the election to accept the results of the election, both in 2016 and 2020)
Maybe the rat 🐀 bastards have something to hide. 👍
Was hoping some info would slip out of some results.
They’re going to do everything they can to try to smear those doing the audit....which tells me they think the outside firm is going to find fraud. Massive fraud.
And Nevada.
