Inside the bizarre Arizona audit fueled by Trump’s false claims of election fraud [MSM Reports On Audit]
The Boston Globe ^ | 12 June 2021 | Jess Bidgood

PHOENIX — What former president Donald Trump seems to think is his best hope to unravel the 2020 election looks a lot like an outsize board game — a game with few apparent rules and no clear endpoint.

On a recent day on the floor of a sports arena with a roof shaped like a Pringle, there were four teams of ballot-counters clad in cartoonish colors: banana yellow, Gumby green, Cookie Monster blue, and Elmo red. They were clustered in groups of three around big round tables, each outfitted with a lazy Susan that matched their T-shirts and whirled ballots past their eyes , as if on a carousel.

”Product coming in, product coming out,” said one officia who would not give his name, as he pointed to the stacks of cardboard boxes of ballots — all sealed shut with tape that matched the team colors — that lined either side of the stadium floor.

“Data in the black box,” he added, pointing to a black monolith of a server in the center of the floor, with blue cords spilling out like silly string that presumably tracks the results of the ballot review.

This is the scene at the election audit ordered by the Arizona Senate of Maricopa County, the fourth-biggest county in the country, where 2.1 million ballots were cast and where Trump, to his disbelief and fury, lost to Joe Biden by a margin of 45,109 votes. Conducted not by the state’s elections officials but by a Florida-based company called Cyber Ninjas, it is widely seen as a fever dream of an effort to expose and root out the imagined voter fraud that Trump and his backers have railed about since Election Day, locking a large swath of the country in an endless cycle of relitigating the vote.

MSM is finally reporting on Arizona audit. They actually report many details of what is happening on the convention floor.

They didn't call it completely looney though they said it was a bad idea, etc. Maybe when they find out there are 250,000 missing ballots, they will in a position to report the truth, not having completely pretended that the audit didn't exist.

They might be in a position to report the truth, but they won't.

The way to give yourself gravitas is to begin an article by mocking a building.

I don’t know about the rest of youse, but I’d like to see the election overturned just to watch all the liberal heads explode. It’ll be like two fourth of July’s.

President Trump needs to be making an appeal for all legal Hispanic immigrants and citizens. He needs to call out to them every day. They all know he is for them while the Democrats value them less than the potential of illegal immigrants. They won’ acknowledge the difference or even to go to the border.

Lynne Wood said that the coup plotters will eventually be executed by military firing squad.

Jess Bidgood is one of the coup plotters.

I am thinking that we may have to revert to how our ancestors dealt with a British-friendly press.

Not a news article. Propaganda by a deranged, fragile Marxist.

Here we go! Hold on To your hats...once the DOJ announced that they would be looking into it as well that was their signal to the mediapukes to start their attacks and brainwash The audience that this audit is purely caca. And you know the gullible Americans will lap it up! Get ready for the next crisis to divert from the audit and its damaging results.

And the corrupt MSM with the social media lords assured everyone that Covid from Wuhan was a conspiracy and those who talked about it were racists, right?

The media is committed to the “no fraud” narrative and they will never abandon it, regardless of the mountain of proof to the contrary.

Even if fraud is found, the election will not be overturned.

Absolutely ridiculous descriptions...obviously designed to paint a picture of silliness and non-seriousness. How people don't or won't see through this is incredible.

They are scared to death of being exposed...why else would they pass up a chance to prove trump is lying by showing all the votes are valid?
