Oh brother.
That’s because there’s no provision in the Constitution to undo an election. There are plenty of provisions to deal with it before the inauguration and it never happened. This audit is being conducted to determine if there was fraud. Period. It was and is never intended to change the election because Trump lost by a minimum of 3 states. If there was fraud, perhaps other states will do the same type of audit. The end result will be more honest elections in the future. Who do you charge with fraud? That’s something that will never happen, so be happy and content with exposure.
See my tag line.
These are the kind of comments that make me think that Rachel is a communist or controlled by communists.
Why does Rachel Maddow not look at the audit as a means to confirm the integrity of the vote in a free society?
The audit might confirm that the vote was accurate and that Biden won fair and square.
The audit may find gaping flaws in the integrity of the vote that need to be fixed before the next election. Such flaws would have changed the outcome of the election.
The audit may find sloppiness in voting integrity that needs to be tightened up.
In any event scores of millions of voters have doubts about voter integrity in this country. There were many things WRONG with the 2020 presidential election like bellwether counties being wrong, inconsistent results in that more Republicans won that would be expected given the "overwhelming" votes for Biden.
Maybe Rachel could explain these discrepancies instead of baseless whining about the usefulness of an audit. She is getting tedious and repetitious.
“Hope this doesn’t turn into another “Durham Investigation”!”
Not happening, this is a well planned and executed forensic audit, that you fellow citizen, can watch day and night. Cameras are on even when they end for the day: https://azaudit.org/
Better to be thorough.
“I’m confident they’ll be able to show more than the amount of ballots Biden won by were fake.”
I expect an easy validation of 20% fraudulent ballots for Biden, when less than 2% is needed to flip the state to Trump.
20% is my minimum threshold, I believe it will be MUCH higher than that.
I am sure the Dems are dolling out Chinese money to get some Republicans to capitulate and stop the audit......Surprised the audit has gone this far. Impressive.
It may well have been significantly larger than a 20% spread in favor of Trump, but keep in mind half a year of ballot possession by hard left treasonous globalist criminals, hell bent on fraud and treason, ballots shredded, rosters in possession of a dnc marxist sos, fires at election board property, etc...
I don’t see how the no more boundaries Uniparty left could have restrained themselves from continued national scale fraud and destruction of evidence.
Hopefully not, but what this may boil down to in part, is being able to prove cover-up.
I don't think that's an accurate statement. They only seem to be looking at ballots, see azaudit.org. There are three types of audit stations in the arena, one type has turntables where the ballots are inspected for the votes cast. Five people work each of those tables, one takes the ballots out of a stack, places it on the stand, it is spun in front of three inspectors, each mark who the votes were for. I have watched them and they seem to put up to four marks on a paper on the table in front of those three inspectors. After they're done, the fifth person takes the ballot off the stand and puts it on a pile of inspected ballots.
The next type of inspection is optical. There are four people at these tables, one takes a ballot from a stack and hands it to the first inspector. That inspector puts it into what looks like a placement / registration fixture and clicks a button on the PC at that station. There is a black stand attached to the table with what looks to me like three cameras or a three lens camera. I'm guessing that the camera takes a picture of the ballot for digital inspection. That same inspector flips over the ballot to inspect the other side of it. He then hands the ballot to the 2nd inspecor at the table, that person only takes one picture of the ballot and then the fourth person takes the ballot from that inspector and puts in the completed pile.
The third type of inspection is in the foreground nearest camera 5, there are four workstations for this black shirt team but they seem to work independently of each other. They have PCs at their stations and seem to inspect smaller sheets of paper - perhaps validating voter registration and / or address of provisional ballots? I don't know but they don't seem to be envelopes.
The ballots for the turntable and optical inspections come from and are returned to sequestering areas - see cameras 3, 6 and 9. Camera 3 has four separate sequestering areas. The area along the right side seems to be uninspected ballots. I have not seen any boxes leave that area. To the left of that area are three separate sequestering areas.
Of the three linear sequestering areas, when the turntable team needs a new box of ballots, the black shirt team gives them a box from the middle sequestering area. Chain of Custody (CoC) forms are completed for these boxes.
The far area is where the ballot boxes are temporarily located once completed by the turntable teams but before the optical teams are ready for them. When the optical teams are ready for another box, the black shirts give them a box from that area.
The color of the tape on the boxes seem to always be inspected by the teams with the same color tee shirts - yellow tape inspected by yellow tee shirt turntable team and yellow tee shirt optical team, etc.
They are completing Chain of Custody forms each time custody of the boxes changes.
I have not seen any boxes move in the sequestering area closest to camera 3.
Once the optical team is finished with a box, they take it back to the black shirt team. The boxes sit there for a while but eventually the black shirts will take the boxes to the sequestering area in cameras 6 and 9. That seems to be where the completed ballots are sequestered. If you watch camera 6 closely when the black shirts take boxes to that area, once in a while you can see them take off / put back on the lock and chain securing that area. That seems to be the only actively accessed area behind a lock during the day.
When I first started watching this (Friday 30th), this last sequestering area had three pallets on the floor, one pallet had two boxes and two pallets each had one box IIRC. The tape sealing the boxes does not coorespond to particular pallets.
Now there are four pallets visible, none of them full (32 boxes), there are also single boxes sitting on the floor separate from the pallets. This, to me, suggests that those pallets have ballots in them with certain characteristics - e.g. mail in ballots without creases, mail in ballots with creases, ballots on paper with watermarks (AZ SoS confirmed no legitimate ballots have watermarks on them), etc.
I've also seen boxes go from one place to another that are not full - observed the station workers opening the boxes and none visible inside the box due to the camera angle where if they were full, you'd be able to see it. They'll reach deep into the box and pull out a stack of several hundred and get to work.
It certainly looks like they have a good process in place.
Back to your original statement, there does not seem to be any envelopes in the arena. However, in camera 5, I don't believe the tables near the bottom left with the storage containers on them were there before today IIRC. I've been taking picutes of the camera views but I didn't get pics of camera 5 before today so I'm not sure. Those tables have the four color tape areas marked out so I think I would have noticed and paid attention to that area if it was there earlier, trying to figure out what its role is in the audit, possibly just completed CoC forms and associated paperwork for the different inspection stations.
Long post, this topic has even scrolled off the front page of articles while typing it up, I'll repost it later for the benefit of others interested in the audit. I sincerely want to thank you for giving me a reason to take the time to type this up - thank you. The long description is not intended for you specifically, rather for those that might be curious about the audit but don't have the time to sit down and figure out what the cameras are showing them.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Unfortunately they are not doing the thing I think they most need to do which is a signature match check.
Major League Yoeman’s work on your part. Thank you so much for your post.
Based on what you have observed thus far, can you offer any assessment on what you might infer to be discovered irregularities?
Thank you for the very comprehensive explanation.
I was just repeating what I had read regarding what this process entailed. I did not have the in depth explanation of the actual process.
To be effective this audit must match actual counted ballots to the registration rolls as well as the signature and addresses of the voters who actually voted.
Thanks Dr. F. I appeciate it.
From azsos.gov/votebymail :
How is Arizona securing the vote by mail process?
Tamper Evident Envelopes and Ballot Tracking: In Arizona, counties utilize tamper evident envelopes for mailed ballots and voters can verify whether their ballot-by-mail has been sent to them and whether it has been received and accepted by the county after it has been mailed back.
Security of Ballot Drop-Off Locations and Drop-Boxes: Ballot drop-off locations and drop-boxes must comply with security requirements and procedures outlined in the Elections Procedures Manual.
Signature Verification: Every ballot-by-mail is authenticated through a rigorous signature verification process conduct by trained election officials. The voter is contacted if the signature on the ballot-by-mail affidavit is inconsistent with the signature in the voter’s registration record.
Criminal Penalties for Misconduct: Arizona law imposes severe criminal penalties for ballot tampering, vote buying, or discarding someone else’s ballot.

According to the AZ election procedures document in the reply to FLT-bird above, this "should" have already been done during the election. At this point, I think we can only hope it was.
"According to the AZ election procedures document in the reply to FLT-bird above, this "should" have already been done during the election. At this point, I think we can only hope it was." *********************************************************** Nevertheless this is an audit and so nothing can be assumed to have been done.
As I mentioned in the long post, perhaps the different pallets are for different ballot characteristics - e.g. mail in ballots that have no fold marks in them (would have to be fraudulent). Other indications of fraud would be copied ballots on bond paper with watermarks (SoS confirmed NO ballots have watermarks), etc.
Here is a good transcript of an interview with Ken Bennett (former AZ SoS) on what's going on with the audit: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/breaking-exclusive-tgps-jordan-conradson-interviews-az-audit-director-ken-bennett-huge-developments-including-plans-triple-output-questions-number-fraudulent-ballots-video/
