The Arizona Senate may sign a deal for another 2020 election review in Maricopa County following reports that some overseers of the audit are dissatisfied with the process.
The present audit, which includes a review of 2.1 million ballots cast in the state's November election in the county, has been underway since April 23 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, led by the hired firm Cyber Ninjas. Audit liaison, former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, told a reporter with CBS5 News on Thursday that hand counters had gone through more than 800,000 ballots so far. Organizers have said they hope to finish by the end of June.
But the GOP-led state Senate is already eyeing another recount that would be entirely electronic, running digital images of ballots through a program to count all votes cast for every race on the county's ballot, according to the Arizona Republic. Bennett told the outlet they are considering a California-based election transparency nonprofit group called Citizens Oversight for the job, and the results from both audits could be compared to one another.
Citizens Oversight founder Ray Lutz, 63, told the Arizona Republic this week his group has never been commissioned to audit an election, adding that the technology being pitched for the process has never been used for an official audit.
"I would say absolutely this is a grand test," Lutz told the Arizona Republic. "I think it is certainly a big test for me because I have put a lot of work on it for the last year and a half or so. We have enhanced it to the point now where I believe we can do a lot to provide information about how well (this election) went."

It sounds like they want it dragged outbdonwe never learn the truth.
Possibly, but I think another explanation is to cast doubt on any negative report that might come out about any cheating that went on....
Keep making accusation however unfound they might be and a lot of people will believe it, which will ultimately taint any conclusions that can be made from the findings....
This is a good step for removing subjectivity from the vote count.
In this digital age, the public should have access to validate the ballot count online, including examination of each ballot.
An image of each serial-numbered ballot should be scanned and posted online along with a database of all ballots.
This would resolve miscounting and double counting votes. This would resolve electronic vote switching and votes invented without ballots.
There have to be other checks and balances for destroyed ballots, for ballots that were illegally produced.
The left depends on sketchy, unregulated elections.
They do not see "democracy" as legitimate, only as the mechanism whereby they can insure the "right" people obtain power.
The left does not see any legitimacy for citizens to have and retain power.
The fact that they are now looking a re doing the audit for down ballot races as well telegraphs that they are finding serious irregularities for President and Senate and indications that the irregularities extend to down ballot races at state and local races.
So they have recounts and audits following the election, and the Arizona senate doesn’t like the results. So they go with Cyber Ninjas and they don’t like those results. Now they want to try it again with someone else? If they wanted to deliberately destroy any faith in the audit processes they couldn’t find a better way of doing it than try, try again till they like the results.
Good job AZ repubs. Find a non profit in CALI who has zero experience. What could go wrong?
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
The images are subject to manipulation, the paper is not.
It is the PHYSICAL PAPER BALLOTS that are the true proof of what happened in the election 2020.

Incorrect, this is a NEW methodology that is fast and efficient to obtain audit results. It’s an addition to the audit vote process.
Technology advances in vote auditing as here is a positive and inexpensive.
Other states are eyeing this approach as well.
What they really need to do is a signature match check.
Starting to remind me of the Durham “investigation”. Years have gone by and nothing has happened.
Only went through 800k so far. Let’s get this done. I think other states are waiting to see this. I know I am.
“entirely electronic, running digital images of ballots through a program to count all votes cast for every race on the county’s ballot,”
Of course they’d want that. ALL the ballots — both legitimate and illegitimate — were “counted” the first time. Let’s count ALL the ballots — both legitimate and illegitimate — AGAIN.
Thank you for that observation. One hopes that you’re spot-on.
Won’t happen. This IS the audit. CyberNinjas is doing a great job and is tight-lipped. There are no leaks. LL
They have the full backing of Kelli Ward and the AZ Senate.
No way we will get another audit. This one has taken enough heat, and will really be in the crosshairs if they find significant (more than +5%) irregularities or unexplained issues or even clear evidence of fraud.
Once this is done, further investigation and examination is straight forward and fast using automated computer digital analysis.
This is the reason the Democrats and Board of Sups have been working overtime to manufacture the broken chain of custody narrative.
They can't stop the evidence of the vote fraud from coming out at this point so their goals are two fold. first is to discredit the evidence in the court of public opinion and second , to try to make the results legallyninadmissable in any downstream legal action, especially criminal prosecutions
Looks like it is just a recount of the manufactured votes. No a real audit after all. Audits are tough to do.
Excellent insight!
There have to be other checks and balances for destroyed ballots, for ballots that were illegally produced.>>> You are talking about a process that business use everyday for manufacturing and financial controls. It is impossible to create and manage these processes in a voting/counting environment. The mentality is missing in government people. Things like integrity, completeness, accountability, competence, etc. don’t exist within government and cannot be created there. I think continuous real audits can wear the enemy down.
