A group of election security and administration experts are asking the Justice Department to send federal monitors to Arizona as the Republican-led state Senate carries out an audit of 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in the state's 2020 presidential election.
In a letter to the top official at the Justice Department's voting section, five elections experts from the Brennan Center for Justice, Protect Democracy and The Leadership Conference expressed deep concerns about how the audit is being conducted, warning that it has put ballots "in danger of being stolen, defaced, or irretrievably damaged."
"They failed to ensure the physical security of ballots by keeping doors unlocked and allowing unauthorized persons to access the ballot storage facility," the letter reads. "They also risk compromising the integrity of the ballots themselves, using materials and technologies that will cause the ballot paper and marks to deteriorate, such as holding ballots to ultra-violet light without gloves.
"And, by restricting access to the audit by nonpartisan observers, election administrators and voting machine experts, they are failing to ensure that the audit is transparent."
The letter also expresses concern that the state Senate and the firm it has hired to run the audit - a Florida-based company called Cyber Ninjas - "are preparing to engage in conduct that will constitute unlawful voter intimidation in violation of the Voting Rights Act and other federal laws."
At issue, they wrote, is a plan to "physically canvass" voters in Maricopa County as part of the audit, and to gather information related to their voting history.
"Regardless of the fact that these actions will occur after the 2020 Election, they constitute intimidation because they seek to stoke fear amongst Arizonans of exercising their fundamental right to vote in future elections," the letter says.

But they have no concern at all about what might have happened to the ballots in the last 5 months.
Must be a typo. We have no justice department
So... we deliberately counted votes when election monitors were not present, but NOW we’re all concerned about having election monitors at the audit? Got it!
To paraphrase the carrier admiral in “Hunt for the Red October” — What is their plan? Son, a Russian (Democrat) doesn’t take a dump without a plan!
“The Left has Acorn-like organizations dedicated to election fraud. They are professional crooks.”
By my estimate, roughly 200 to 300 people, TOTAL, in the country. They risk opsec if they used more people, so just the smallest number of people that can do the job necessary. That’s why blacks, overall, tend to agree with whites on election security measures (including Voter ID), as they’re not in on the game.
The Democrats in Congress are aware that funny things are happening, but since it always favors them, they protect it all. The Republicans who could call this out seem to be in TOTAL FEAR of the electorate losing confidence in our voting system but don’t seem to realize that most voters already lost that confidence (the Dems when Bush/Trump won, and now the Republicans after the Big Steal)
Amazing to see a coup in this country, but it just happened.
it the UniParty (R) and the UniParty (D)...not Republican and Democrat.
Electoral Fraud benefits the Uniparty. a “good’ Republican in their eyes,doesn’t object to such benefit
If they did nothing wrong, what are they so afraid of?
Experts. Listen to the experts. Election experts, virus experts, climate change experts, tax policy experts, economic experts, science experts, medical experts, education experts, vaccine experts, white supremacy experts, racism experts....
In other words please send some people in and tamper with ballots or make up stories.
No business in state election squabbles.
We need a betting pool on picking the date of the 6am FBI raid. Just watch.
Elections “experts” (translation: Dim advocates) call on the corrupt Biden DOJ to help prevent a true election audit in Arizona.
If the Democrats in the Senate had worked with the republicans in crafting the bill they could have added any checks in disputing that time. They chose to not participate.
...from the Brennan Center for Justice, Protect Democracy and The Leadership Conference...
IOW, partisan hacks, with the full endorsement of partisan media shills.
“Well, the suitcases were actually probably OK. Where else would ballots be stored? Under the tables in suitcases. But watch this Maricopa County thing. Things are heating up! Why the sudden interest in old ballots on the part of the Dems? If they were confident in their legality, would they be acting this way? Maybe. Maybe not.”
Did you see the spike Biden had after they were counted? They weren’t ok.
Election Exper.......? OH! You mean partisan Democrat hacks.
This is a state matter. According to the elections clause of the US constitution it is for the legislature of each state to make election laws for that state. The Arizona legislature has seen fit to investigate Maricopa County’s election results. There is no federal jurisdiction.
