Officials in Arizona's Maricopa County are withholding materials subpoenaed by the state legislature as part of its audit of the county's 2020 election, claiming that surrendering them would constitute a security risk for both law enforcement and federal agencies.
A Monday letter sent from the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to Ken Bennett, the former Arizona secretary of state and the liaison between the state Senate and the auditors, said the county had elected not to turn over "several routers" requested by the legislature due to an alleged "significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as well as numerous federal agencies."
"We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it," the letter states. "But we were informed that redaction did not eliminate the risk."
Bennett told Just the News that the state Senate's subpoena had requested "access or control of all routers and tabulators ... used in connection with the administration of the 2020 election" as well as "the public IP of the [routers]."
"I don't know why the routers in a tabulation and election center have anything to do with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office or numerous federal agencies," Bennett said, noting that "the sheriff's department and the Maricopa County tabulation and election center aren't even in the same building."
Maricopa County spokesman Fields Moseley on Thursday afternoon said the county had "determined the information contained in Maricopa County's routers can be used as blueprints to intercept sensitive county data."
"Maricopa County has more than 50 different county departments, and the routers the Senate subpoena commanded the County produce support all of these departments, not just elections operations," Moseley said. "This includes critical law enforcement data that, by law, cannot be disclosed, as well as Maricopa County residents' protected health information and full social security numbers."
"By providing the routers, or even virtual images of routers, sensitive data and the lives of law enforcement personnel could be endangered," he added, stating that the routers "remain in the county's custody for the time being."
The idea that devices that are used to count votes aren’t available for public inspect is illegal and outrageous. I think this might be the smoking gun.
Since when have these BASTARDS ever been worried about the lives of law enforcement officers WHEN???
They really consider the American citizens stupid.
So they are saying there were crimes committed at the polling stations?
Because that’s the usual practice for ISPs? Chances are that that is how your own home internet system works if you have more than one device.
I’ve sent up dozens of similar type of networks...
I don’t know of a single company regardless of size that is not using Network Address Translation, it’s virtually impossible to operate a network otherwise...
IP addresses with respect to internet are broken down into two categories...
Public addresses that are routable on the internet and Private IP addresses that are not routable on the internet...
If you see an ip address that begins with these numbers it’s private and non-routable...
Range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
Range from 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
Range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Look at the ip address of the computer you are currently using it’s probably from the above range....for example I’m typing this response from my laptop that has 192.168.1.71 as an IP address which is not routable on the internet...
They’re simply not enough public ip addresses for every devices to have one....so every company uses private addresses inside their network and translates them to public address which happens inside routers..
To access a service inside a company from the internet most times a static ip address translation is done, otherwise everyone else shares a small pool of addresses or in some cases all the users share one public address.
For example I just looked up the ip address of the Maricopa County Supervisor of Elections website, it’s public ip address is...
104.18.8.88 which is routable on the internet obviously...
I guarantee you the server that hosts the website is using a private ip address and it get translated to the public ip address....
My guess is that electronic forensic audit has already been completed by Cyber Ninjas and what is playing out now is kabuki theatre to let the Democrats look as bad as possible. The audit team likely agreed to stop comparing signatures on ballot envelopes to voter registration because they don’t need it.
"We" elected obama twice. Just how bright do you think they should assume "we" are?
Ack!
I wonder what Goering thought of the herring?
5.56mm
Wut?
Maybe stored MAC adresses for certain “always allow connection” devices, and/or dedicated IP addresses. So have them sign an NDA on anything non-election. No big deal.
Just more flak.
We already know My Pillow guy and Giuliani and others have the MAC addresses of the equipment from the servers and the destination IP’s and the times sent. Are all we waiting for is to match the machine to the MAC addy? How would that threaten the cops?
How would that threaten the cops?
It wouldn’t. Those contentions are deflection for consumption by morons.
They are VERY worried. If the SHTF, there’s gonna be some serious room shortages at the Graybar Hotel.
I have no idea, was just curious how you would know! Was studying for the Secure Plus!
.....having been involved in many “discovery wars” I can say that unless the issue is settled there will be a hearing and a judge will have to painfully listen to both sides arguments and then rule whereupon he will likely, instead of issuing a ruling immediately, “take it under advisement” which really means that he will talk to all his POLITICAL pals over the weekend and then decide based on politics or bribes and not the LAW.

It’s cute you think anyone will go to prison over this. Since when have any of these clowns ever been held accountable for anything?
If you want a basic idea how it works, google cisco ip nat configuration
A ton of articles and videos exist that give you some basic examples of how to set it up for any particular situation.
If you have no idea of how a cisco router works it might be a little hard to follow but it’s pretty straight forward.
NAT configuration to my knowledge hasn’t changed significantly in years....

I’m actually very cute.
