"We are struggling as to how we're going to be able to match up" ballots that couldn't be read by machines, Ken Bennett says.
The Arizona Senate's audit of Maricopa County's general election has hit a new snag: verifying whether some ballots may have been counted twice.
The liaison between Senate Republicans who authorized the audit and county officials told a hearing Tuesday that serial numbers were missing on damaged ballots that were duplicated so they could be read by vote tabulation machines.
Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett's team uncovered the error just a few days ago, he told Senate President Karen Fann and Judicial Committee Chair Warren Petersen. Each damaged ballot and its associated duplicate ballot are supposed to have the same serial number to ensure they are only counted once.
But he has found many batches of damaged ballots without the serial numbers that are on the duplicates, violating state law. "We are struggling as to how we're going to be able to match up" those damaged and duplicated ballots, Bennett said.
Asked by Fann if Maricopa County could assist in that effort, Bennett said county officials have made clear to him several times they wouldn't work with any of the auditors the Senate Republicans hired. He will ask for their help directly, Bennett said.
County supervisors portrayed the contractors, led by Cyber Ninjas, as incompetent and unqualified to run an election audit in their own hearing and press conference Monday.

Like “ghost guns”? No SN? Probably ballots with no SN are more of a threat than “ghost guns”.
Kind of like Pleading the Fifth, I suppose.
LOL! You coined a new phrase: Ghost Ballots.
Part of the plan by the enemy. I put nothing past these people.
Well, YOU actually posted the term. I only suggested an idea. You know, like pantyfa is to pedo joe.
TransRepublicans = RINOs
I do not know the FReeper invented that term, but it makes perfect sense.
What was then number of adjudicated ballots? In Michigan and Nevada, the number was about 70% of mail in ballots.
I recall hearing/reading that adjudicated ballots in Maricopa County were about 12%, but I have no good reference to it.
Removing the serial number would allow ballots which were stolen/harvested in one area to be used in another; or to allow ballots which were not sent to anyone be used for fraudulent votes.
? How'd they get damaged? Before or after being counted?
it’s as if they never held an election before....
Damaged ballots should not be able to be copied by law. They should be maintained and human read only. Of course most of the problems would not exist if it were not for electronic voting. Such a system will always be used to commit mass fraud.
That’s a great cartoon. Lots there. Took me a couple of minutes to take it all in. Thank you.
