Maricopa County officials have not fully complied with the State Senate’s election audit subpoenas, a decision made to avoid causing a “significant security risk” to data utilized by numerous law enforcement agencies, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said Monday.
“We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it. But we were informed that redaction did not eliminate the risk,” Deputy County Attorney Joseph LaRue wrote in a letter to Senate Audit Liaison Ken Bennett. “We also learned that if criminal elements or others gained access to this data, it might compromise county and federal law enforcement efforts and put the lives of law enforcement personnel at risk.”
The letter from LaRue was prompted by Bennett’s comments to KFYI’s James T. Harris on Monday that Maricopa County officials are not in compliance with subpoenas signed by Senate President Karen Fann and Senate Judiciary Chair Warren Petersen. A judge ruled in February the legislative subpoenas are valid.
The subpoenas resulted in several trucks full of Maricopa County’s elections equipment, records, and nearly 2.1 million original ballots being delivered to Bennett at Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the audit which started April 23.
LaRue’s letter explains that county officials had planned to provide the Senate’s audit team with virtual images of the requested routers, but are not yet sure it is possible to “safely produce router information related to the November 3, 2020 election” without compromising security for criminal justice agencies.
And according to LaRue, providing those images at this time could also put citizens’ confidential data at risk, including social security numbers and protected health information.
“As a result, the County cannot at this time provide the virtual images of routers,” LaRue wrote, without estimating when the requested routers may be handed over. “I will follow up with you about this when I know more.”
Remember that this Maricopa county board is 4 Republicans and one Democrat.
The Big Steal was BIPARTISAN.
Why was there law enforcement data on voting system routers?
These county people need to be schooled on the nature and character of making judgments.
Specifically that making judgments involves weighing one risk against another.
It’s very basic. Get the low IQs out of Maricopa County offices.
Arrest them. Seize everything. Audit their bank accounts
Rogue officials. Why are we just learning of this now?
bttt
Although first these county officials should probably be educated on the ultimate meaning of this audit.
Law enforcement demands that I turn over evidence? I’ll just say No. I’ll say it seems risky and I just cannot comply.
Now, I’m a peasant, so I bet I couldn’t get away with that. But I bet they can.
You send the State Police and ARREST all members of the Board as well as those refusing to comply, then SIEZE everything your subpoena allows.
Specifically what type of routers do you know of that can do the type of things you say they can do ??
I spent nearly twenty years programming Cisco routers for a couple of worldwide customers and I have never seen the setup you’re talking about
I doubt seriously these routers would show anything interesting if the routing tables were updated for the election I doubt those changes are still in place the logs have either been erased or don’t go back to November, if county gathers and stores syslog information then you might have something but unlikely
I would go back and look who might have had VPN access to their network assuming they have remote access enabled
Exactly. Oh you didn’t hand over everything as ordered by a court of law? (steps aside...a couple of burly cops step forward and clap him in cuffs).
You can just sit there in your jail cell until you see fit to comply with the court order. Meanwhile, audit his bank records, his phone records, etc etc.
The left is willing to do anything to gain and keep power.
Lie, cheat, steal, destroy and kill.
We better be willing to fight for our country or we are going to lose it.

So disingenuous as to be a lie.
Routers contain tables of network addresses and which physical route to take to get to a network destination.
While most enterprises consider this information to be proprietary, it is not a high risk exposure even if fully published on the dark web.
Network routes and numbering are freely discussed in the tech world even without non-disclosure agreements.
Routers DO NOT contain any information that puts anyone’s life or safety at risk.
I sure hope the legislature has good consultants so that they can put the county on the stand to defend this.
I know I would eviscerate them.
“Routers also have access to all of the data that passes through them. They could, conceivably, store any data that goes by. They may or may not be programmed to do so.”
Non sequitur.
GOP is Controlled Opposition. Same party as Democrats.
The two parties in are actually Populist vs Globalist.
Look at the three branches through that lens and you see how outnumbered Populists actually are.
nuke them from orbit, it is the only way to be sure...
Maricopa’s Marx madness in May reveals much by attempting to hide all.
And with all of our propaganda now set to “11”, it’s gonna be a hotter than usual summer soon in the valley of the sun.
Much is made of the fact that four of the Maricopa board are Republicans.
The right amount of money makes party affiliation meaningless. Every man has his price.
