New Revelations Prove Why The Maricopa County Election Audit in Arizona Was Needed
PJ Media ^ | 06/22/2021 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 06/22/2021 6:29:37 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Ken Bennett, the former Arizona Republican secretary of state and Arizona Senate liaison for the Maricopa County election audit, says there are more the 33,000 ballots from the presidential election where votes for president were not detected by the voting machines.

“There were over 33,000 undervotes,” Bennett told The Western Journal. “There may be, you know, a certain number of people that didn’t want to vote for [Democrat Joe] Biden or [Republican Donald] Trump or [Libertarian Jo] Jorgensen or anyone else, so they may, in fact, be undervotes.”

“But if someone circled their oval or made a check next to it or did something other than get pixels of blackness inside the oval, almost one percent of the 3.4 million people that voted in Arizona, the machines did not record any vote for president,” he added.

According to state-certified results, Biden barely won Arizona with a 10,457-vote margin. Mathematically speaking, it is possible for Trump to net enough votes to win the state from these undervotes alone—before accounting for any other irregularities that the auditors may find.

“If we find some people that circled their oval or made a checkmark next to it, not every one of those is probably going to be for Trump or not every one is going to be for Biden,” Bennett said. “So will it make a difference in the outcome? Maybe, maybe not.”

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this is that the Maricopa County recorder’s office only recorded 8,475 undervotes within its jurisdiction—less than Biden’s certified margin of victory. Maricopa County was also the county in the state that flipped from red to blue from 2016 to 2020.

This information alone justifies the audit in Maricopa County, does it not?

They will find enough votes in that county alone to swing the state to Trump. But what are they going to do. Same in the other swing states. Trump won most of them by a large margin.

Every county. Every state. Retroactive 20 years. Now. No matter who “won.”

They cheated way too much this time...

This is the key. In past elections where Demonrats cheated and stole votes, like Al Franken, they were more subtle. They “found” ballots, they “harvested” ballots, they let non-residents vote, etc. and the final tally snuck up on everyone as they pushed their loser over the top. It was like they used submarine warfare. And the average citizen was generally not aware of it.

Not so with 2020. It was tanks, missiles, air power, marching troops and spies. Every possible perversion of the electoral process was used. It was wide out in the open. Remember, court appointed precinct observers were not allowed to “observe”, going so far as to cover windows in the ballot counting areas. This was because Trump’s win was so large that even the Dominion software built-in aberrations were not enough to defeat him, so they had to cheat out in the open.

This is the one and only good thing to come out of the 2020 election. Their cheating was on full display for all to see. Average citizens who would normally not be aware, are fully aware this time.

My concern is that the cheating was pretty darn obvious — and we seem to have established a precedent that lower courts, other states, the US congress, the Vice President, the Supreme Court, everybody has to just take the results as they are tabulated by corrupt politicians. You can’t fix it. You have no standing.

In such a situation, why would 2022 be any different? Who stops them?

Dittos to everything in post 4. This level of corruption would be hard for even some of us to believe if we didn’t now have butt loads of evidence. Among other things to thank President Trump for is actually winning by so much that dims had no choice.

To the average folk this sounds like conspiracy theory cause most actual conspiracies don’t occur on such a large scale.

Reforms in the states to make the cheating (which was mostly allowed by Covid 19 emergency measures) harder, can make a serious difference.

Which is why the Left is pushing so hard for HR-1 to make sure they control the federal government forever.

Exactly.

The USSC, as the third branch of equal power, should have recognized federal election corruption as the most heinous crime imaginable, as a threat to its very existence, even as a potential nation-killer and found a way to step in.

Why would this justify an audit? Every election has under votes. Is this an unusual percentage?

RE: Every election has under votes. Is this an unusual percentage?

Because Joe Biden won the entire state of Arizona by just a little over 10,000 votes.

33,000 under votes is THREE TIMES that number. If the undervotes were so tiny that they would not have made a difference, then you have a point.

This is not the case. And it is in only ONE COUNTY.

How many more such cases would we find had we audited the other counties?

The information on this audit is not being leaked by the professionals involved. You can check any of the sites directly involved with the audit or the Arizona True Republican leadership. One has to wonder how or why this story is being released. If it’s incorrect it only serves to diminish the true results of the audit.

The first sentence of the article already tells us who the source of this information is:

Ken Bennett, the former Arizona Republican secretary of state and Arizona Senate liaison for the Maricopa County election audit

We would find undervotes in every county. As Bennett said:

“But if someone circled their oval or made a check next to it or did something other than get pixels of blackness inside the oval...”

Those things are going to happen whenever humans are filling out ballots. Plus you have people who don’t want to vote for either presidential candidate.

The question is was Maricopa’s undervote percentage unusual?

The issue of undervotes isn’t really the problem. It is common.

The problems come in when election workers start divining the voter’s intent in select precincts.

Put plainly, many undervotes happen because some voters are simply too stupid to fill out a ballot correctly. Being too stupid skews heavily Democrat. Similarly, this is where Democrats found a treasure trove of “cured” absentee ballots this cycle too.

Exactly. It was a very poorly written article.

They are aware and should have done something soon after election night. Sydney Powell said something and not to long after Trump and Rudy separated themselves from her. She said when all this comes down do not be surprised if republicans are in on this also. She is likely right. Not just rinos but republicans we may not suspect. They bought some of them off to not speak up and even turn on Trump. They needed to stall until it was certified by the states and on Jan 6. They used media to not report the evidence and social media to hide it. Stall the truth. That’s how they were able to steal it right in front of our faces.

If your nightly news was showing them putting card board over the window and kicking people out. Pulling ballots out from under the tables in the dead of night and running them through the machines and doing it multiple times with the same stacks. Show the people that signed affidavits of what they witnessed and what they were told to do. If the people saw this then the politicians would have had to do something about it. What about the states that changed the voter laws illegally. They didn’t use the state legislature like the constitution or their states constitution requires. They used their SOS and governor to sign the changes. Why didn’t there Republican lead legislature step up. Maybe they were in on it. Why didn’t pence do what the 5 states were asking, they wanted the results looked at for 10 days before certifying. Magically after the second state … Arizona went to argue the results go back to the legislature the “riot” started. The cheaters had a big plan.

Undervotes can be calculated from publicly reported data.
