PHOENIX (AP) — County election officials agreed Wednesday to expand their inspection of certain ballots in metro Phoenix that are being challenged in a Republican lawsuit that seeks to reverse Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward, who filed a lawsuit contesting the election results, is looking for irregularities among the nearly 28,000 ballots in Maricopa County that were duplicated by elections officials because voters’ earlier ballots were damaged or couldn’t be tabulated. She requested a broader examination of the ballots after a court-ordered inspection of 100 duplicated ballots on Tuesday found two instances in which votes cast for Trump were cancelled in the duplication process.
Before the judge could rule on Ward’s request at a court hearing, the county offered to review 2,500 additional duplicated ballots.
“We put on a great election on Nov. 3, and we are happy to have people look more closely at it,” said Tom Liddy, a lawyer representing county officials. “We have nothing to hide.”
Ward’s lawyers say the inspection of 100 ballots found that one person’s vote for Trump was ultimately recorded as a Biden vote and that another person’s vote for Trump was cancelled when the reproduced ballot contained votes for both the Republican incumbent and a write-in candidate...

There’s movement in AZ
Bump
That’s a disappointment.
3% of all 28,000 would change the result by less than 1000.
Not the 90,000 if it involved the whole vote.
Sh*t.
Sure hope they inspect the Senate race, too. I DO NOT BELIEVE Kelly won. He took Maricopa County where the Marxist County Recorder was defeated.
Good news, hope it’s an audit not just a recount.
Yep, a lot of us in AZ are FED UP. There is a local a m radio talk show guy, James T. Harris that is leading the way. He is damn great. On 550 am, morning drive. Worth a listen if you are into this.
Yes. They need to do an Audit of the entirety of Maricopa County. Period. And Pinal County, too. Both Dem strongholds that likely were the areas where they cheated most.
The "errors" always work against Trump. Kinda strange, huh?
It’s a comparison of damaged ballots to duplicates made by poll workers, just 28,000 of them.
It would take 50% fraud to make up the difference, not 3%.
He is good. And a really good lead in for Rush, too. I suspect the Left really detests him as he has departed the Dem Plantation. Hope he gets more National visibility.
Associated Press is actually covering this! Wow!
They say she delivered Arizona for them.
The McCain machine is pretty entrenched in Phoenix.
Because it’s another dead end.
Associated Press is actually covering this! Wow!
Yea and when all said is done “we found irregularities but it is not enough to change the outcome....” Arrrrrrrrr
Only way she did that is through fraud. Also, the U.K.? Isn’t it being resorbed back into the E.U. thanks to that putz Boris Johnson?
I read earlier there were three votes, NOT two. F the AP.
One was a switched vote, so minus one Biden plus one trump, net 2.
On the flip side, a legitimate election would likely show no issues with a random 100 ballots out of that many - it opens the door for wider looks and spreading to other counties/precincts. If a “good county had 3% tipping for Biden, what might a bad, more dem stronghold county have?
