This ticks me off beyond - they are doing anything and everything. ugh.
Audit will proceed with a pause starting 5PM today (or until $1M bond is posted) and lasts until Monday Noon.
Plaintiff will post a bond of $1M to cover damages to Defendant (Senate). If bond is not posted, audit resumes.
Reasons:
1. Blue pens in Arena reported by AZ Central who is a volunteer observer today. Fear that blue pens will be used to mark ballots.
2. Overhead cameras record all ballots but not make them public. Concern over voter privacy, which by law, must be protected.
3. Judge reaffirms AZ statute to protect voter privacy and protection of ballots.
4. Asks both sides for briefings. Hearing resumes Monday Noon.
AZ dems decided to drop their suit because they didn’t want to put up the 1M$ bond...
