Arizona Senate Conducting New Count of Maricopa County Ballots
The Epoch Times ^ | July 10, 2021 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Posted on 07/10/2021 11:22:11 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The ballots cast in Arizona’s largest county in the 2020 election will be counted for a third time on orders from the state’s Senate.

Nearly 2.1 million ballots submitted in Maricopa County for the presidential contest were tabulated, as normal, by election officials. They were recounted by hand by audit teams hired by the Arizona Senate in a process that was completed late last month.

Now the Senate will do its own recount that will provide a number to compare to those from the county and from the auditors.

“Maricopa County says there’s 2,089,563 ballots. We did the hand count, and they’re finalizing that number, but we just wanted a third number to tie everything together, make sure we have more—the more data points, the better,” former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, the Senate’s audit liaison, told The Epoch Times.

The new count will focus on the number of ballots and will not count the actual votes, unlike the first two tabulations.

The Senate will use two counting machines that it purchased to complete the count, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, told the Arizona Republic.

”We’re going to run all the ballots through to see how they match up,” she said. “If there ends up being a difference, we’d have another count.”

Does anyone know when the results will be released? First they said the results would be ready by last Monday, but obviously that wasn’t the case.

A third count means the totals do not match.

It probably means there are significant differences.

I want the truth to come out in all states, but isn’t this all taking a long time?

Illinois investigation may change the 1960 result. Nixon won. Oh, well.
Asked about such things Nixon said “I accept it all. It’s possible if I had been declared the winner, I might have been assassinated.”

Sound as though either there is a big difference in the original and audit vote counts, or, once you start recounting, continue to recount until the problem goes away.

Keep recounting.
Eventually the 2024 Election will be here.

Dude..
Part of what I did for a living was to take raw data and convert it into a easy to interpret report..
I don’t care how much raw data you have, creating an easy to read and interpret report takes time..
Weeks if not months..
Just relax and wait for the report..

So here you have the RAT talking point... Maricopa county supplied the ballots. (Unwillingly of course) The “Cyber Ninjas” had their “mock audit.” They were not ‘certified’ by the great powers that determine auditors credibility. The count was off in the 10’s of thousands of ballots. Why? No doubt because the Cyber Ninjas are incompetent - of course! Now the Senate is conducting their own count to verify that the Cyber Ninjas count is the same as the Senate’s count! If the Senate/Cyber Ninjas count matches it means that Maricopa County did in fact conduct an unlawful election and fraud is involved somewhere. Where? Who knows! But, and it’s a big but... if the numbers are indeed in the 10’s of thousands then we will know with certainty that the election was stolen through massive fraud. If the difference is five ballots.. well, then forget it, Trump lost. (There are thousands of ballots missing! Count on it!)

I keep hearing people wringing their hands over when the report will go public. It'll happen when it happens. It's being done right. Good things take time. Btw, these Communist has been growing and operating for many decades in D.C., as they've become more emboldened over those years to the point where they're now 100% punitive towards the people who they publicly declared are deplorable.

The Trump era is only about 4.5 years old. Remember, this is the first presidential forensic audit. It's got to be done right and 100% thorough.

I think you have misinterpreted the tone of my post. I agree that doing it right is better than doing it quickly. I was just wondering if anyone had a rough timeline so I can tune in at the right time.

Bingo. The difference must be huge. Defies belief.

Evidently the Cyber Ninjas found significant fraud and the Senate wants to get a jumpstart on confirming it.

That's why everything was recorded and documented.

They’re being smart. They’re gathering all the evidence and not letting anything definitive leak so they can hit the Democrat media fraud machine all at once with overwhelming evidence.

“ Nixon said “I accept it all. It’s possible if I had been declared the winner, I might have been assassinated”

Frightened republicans are who have allowed this swamp

Yes they’ll try to assassinate you. Get in there anyway.

And beef up security.

Trump is the only willing Paterson

All morni g I’m debating with a good conservative friend over Rudy Of course they’re assassinating his reputation. They don’t go after people who don’t help trump. Hello!!

What if the senate count is just a deep state cover up? Oh well we didn’t find the same problems as the second audit so Joe is the most popular president.

The people running the audit have always said they would not release any info until they’re 100% complete which the last I heard will be in August. After they finished counting and scanning them, someone falsely said they would release those numbers which is where that Monday thing came from.
