PHOENIX — The Senate liaison for the audit of Maricopa County election results said he expects all 2.1 million ballots to be counted by the time the contract is up at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in two weeks.
Ken Bennett, who is also a former Republican secretary of state in Arizona, said approximately 150,000 ballots had been inspected as of Thursday morning.
That was up from about 100,000 on Wednesday. The Senate’s audit started Friday and the Phoenix facility is being rented out until May 14.
“With the progress we’re making, I believe we can get the 2.1 million ballots counted during the time that we’re here at the Coliseum,” Bennett told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show.
Bennett said contractors are making daily improvements to speed up the process.

It’s unknown if counting will continue on Sundays moving forward. The audit team paused last Sunday to let workers rest.
“So if you look back the last two or three days and say, well, how much have we done in those two days and then project that forward… no that that’s not gonna add up, but they are making improvements every day,” Bennett said.
Conspiracy theories about the election have proliferated in Arizona and nationwide since Joe Biden’s victory over former President Donald Trump.
After repeated reviews of the election results in Maricopa County found no issues that would overturn Biden’s narrow victory in Arizona, a judge ruled the Senate could access Maricopa County’s 2.1 million ballots for a hand recount.
Biden won Arizona last year by 10,457 votes and won in Maricopa County by 45,109 votes.
The Senate audit can’t overturn the results of the election.
The public can watch the audit process online.
The reason this business is important is that if the audit shows that if enough illegal votes went to Biden to shift the election—there will be more audits in more states.
Even the dumbest people will get a clue. And even get an answer to the question—how did a clueless guy who didn’t campaign —win the election
This is what is Lisa Shacket is really horrified about.

It’s not a count. It’s an audit.
You nailed it. The plus side the RHINos won’t have a chance in the mid terms.
Audit Election Theft 2020!
With all of the resources and power of the Executive Branch, why didn’t President Trump do any of this before 1/6? To put all the eggs into the basket of three lawyers resulted in a pretty predictable outcome legally. The recounts were pure BS anyway because all it did was recount dirty votes.
To this day I don't know why he didn't order the National Guard or Marshalls or Army or whatever branch of the military to go in and secure the ballots and Dominion machines and do an audit.
Week after week, all he did was complain and make promises that the fraud would be exposed. I can remember screaming at the tv "Do something!"
Same difference, if in the audit ballots are tossed you deduct them from the reported one
So you are reducing the “count” certified and showing that it was false
Have any earth shattering results been observed on camera or leaked?
Will be interesting when the total tally falls short as a result of running Dem ballots through the machine multiple times.
As aggravating and painful as it was I think the point was to show the corruption is terminal!
Could there be legal action against those that certified a fraudulent count?
