Maricopa County election audit continues after Democrats balk at $1 million requirement to pause
12News ^ | April 22, 2021 | Brahm Resnik

A major political dispute over the results of last year's presidential election in Maricopa County is developing, but, for now, the audit sponsored by the Arizona State Senate Republicans will continue.

A Maricopa County judge ordered a pause after state Democrats filed a lawsuit to block the audit.

The pause would have been from 5 p.m. Friday until noon Monday, but the Arizona Democratic Party will not post the $1 million bond as requested by the judge.

In a statement, party officials said in part "the fact of the matter is that no one knows the actual cost of this sham audit and President Fann and the Cyber Ninjas have not once made this figure public."

The weekend pause is needed in order to organize blm & antifa to riot and burn the election warehouse to the ground.

Now, that million challenge is playing the kind of hardball that I like watching.

yes, it is puzzling. it is a pittance compared to what they spent to commit the fraud.

a million to keep the fraud covered up. seems they could pay that out of petty cash.

Money only flows one way to these moochers. The ideas that they would actually have to pay out for something is foreign. They are just entitled to have what they want.

It doesn’t keep the fraud covered up it only delayed the audit temporarily until Monday when they would lose that ruling again. A million for nothing than 2 days of delay.

Arizona won’t make an electoral difference for the presidency. If the senate vote is audited and overturned, it would give the republicans 51 seats.

They ain't that dumb in AZ. On the other hand, if this was in Maxine Water's district. Sure.

You are so right! No shame. no sense of honor, no trick too low or too brazen. There will be more acts in this play. Auditing votes to expose cheating Dems is like wrestling a poisonous snake: never loosen your grip no matter how it thrashes, writhes or goes limp or you are going to get destroyed.

No doubt. Sadly, I suspect the reason the went with “Cyber Ninjas” is that they are doing it pretty much for free as a publicity stunt. If this had the potential to flip just the Senate seat, the GOP would be pouring national party money in. In this case, they are not even looking outside votes for POTUS. All they can hope to do is embarrass the DEMS.

$1 million , this is just pocket change with all the money Nancy stole for them

On top of that, it is a bond. They probably only had to put up 5 to 10% to secure the bond. They had this law suit planned for weeks. The judge threw a curve ball that they didn't anticipate. If you read the suit, you would know they threw everything except the kitchen sink at the judge. All of it is baseless.

They have nothing.

Hopefully the dems finally see the writing on the wall. They have used every excuse in the book and with a normal press core they would have been called out a long time ago. Me thinks they are going to let the audit happen and deal with the consequences after, the consequences being their friends in the press covering their asses and just waiting for it to blow over.

Dems already lost an identical suit which is probably the reason for the bond as the new suit was no different than the old.
