Maricopa County agrees to test ballot tabulators used in elections, not just backup machines

The Republican Party of Arizona has secured an agreement with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to test ballot tabulators used in elections, rather than only testing backup equipment.

The agreement states that the board "will inform the Secretary of State that it wants the test to be of at least six of the tabulators and twelve of the accessible voting devices scheduled to be deployed to early voting locations and vote centers."

On Tuesday, the Arizona GOP announced the agreement, reached with Maricopa County on Monday, to perform logic and accuracy testing on accessible voting machines and ballot tabulators that are used for Election Day and early voting.

"Previously, under former SoS Katie Hobbs and now Adrian Fontes, only backup tabulators were tested — leaving our elections vulnerable and raising serious transparency concerns. This wasn’t enough to ensure the integrity of our votes," the Arizona GOP posted on X.

"Through determined efforts, we’ve secured a major victory. From now on, the same equipment used at vote centers will undergo rigorous testing. This change is a critical step towards restoring voter confidence and trust in our election process," the post continued. "This agreement shows what happens when Republicans stand united to protect our electoral process. It’s a win for transparency, accountability, and every Arizona voter. We’re proud to lead the charge for fair and secure elections!"

The agreement was reached as part of the Arizona Republican Committee v. Sellers lawsuit. The Arizona GOP and Maricopa County Republican Party had alleged that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors "do not conduct the statutorily-required logic and accuracy testing of Maricopa County’s tabulators and accessible voting devices in the manner and at the time that is required by law."

I’ll believe it when I see it. Mexico has always owned New Mexico. Now the La Raza hos are after Texas and Arizona. Jill Bidenskyyyyyyyyyy might say we’re all “Breakfast Tacos” now.

They ALL need to be checked just before use, this is too easy to thwart here.

Six and twelve out of how many? Randomly chosen test machines?

Test them all

Don't outsource the testing to Boeing Quality Control

The issue is not whether the machines are accurate before the election, the issue is how manipulated the machines are at the last minute, as in a whole bunch of votes showing up after everybody went to bed. So as I see it, this is a nothing burger.

Funny that they have to “agree” to this. And they only test... the backups?! That makes no sense! Why would they not test ALL of them?! That’s their @#%$#! job in the FIRST place!!!

This is no longer a serious country, putting up with this garbage.

How meaningful are the tests if there’s going to be a “software update” the night before the election? (As happened in various places in 2020.)

“Through determined efforts, we’ve secured a major victory.”

“That’s how it should have been all along.”

This is not the main way, if at all on how they cheat. This solves nothing. This does not stop mail-in voter fraud, not checking signatures, running ballots through the machines twice, selectively rejecting ballots, discarding / thorwing away ballots, etc...

And worse of all, when problems are found the courts rejecting any legal action based on Standing (where voters of the state have no standing bring forth evidence of fraud).

If you don’t have access to the source code, and the ability to rebuild it and get the exact same software as installed on the machine, then you can program it to do anything you want

The test are pretty much meaningless. Test for What? Test for a few lines of malicious software hidden in the code. When the code is propitiatory to the manufacturer at that. Test for unknown methods of hackability. Test for things that won’t even occur until election night as workers use various methods to circumvent the process. Saying they were tested is nothing more than a con to pacify the gullible.

Test them all

+1. This is the GOP trying to make it look like they are doing something about election fraud. Don't fall for it.

Paper ballots. Manual counts. It’s the only way.

It will take about 20 years for government workers to understand how to set up computer systems. ALtho this is a necessary move. Proper auditable procedures will go a lot farther in insuring elections are correct. ANd you know both republican politicians and democrats don’t want that.
