Twitter Attempts To Discredit Arizona Election Audit Underway In Maricopa County

Twitter published an editorialized trending topic under its “News” section Thursday on the Arizona audit of the November election in Maricopa County, where the state Senate has ordered an independent review of the 2.1 million ballots cast.

The audit now underway caught the ire of Democrats and legacy media outlets who are sowing doubt on its necessity or legitimacy as state lawmakers demand the independent audit be conducted by an outside firm.

“Why some officials have raised concerns over the ongoing Republican-commissioned audit of election results in Arizona,” reads the Twitter headline above its trending topic. Users are led down a storyline constructed by tweets with links to articles from the Associated Press, New York Times, and CNN.

All sell the narrative that a thorough review of the results presents a dangerous threat to election integrity, and henceforth American democracy.

Under “What you need to know,” the online platform features four bullet points to dispel the need for an independent audit commissioned by the state legislature. It includes a critique of the contracted firm’s credibility complemented by the results of prior reviews by election officials who ordered their own audit after the election.

The county, according to AZCentral, “hand counted a statistically significant sampling of ballots and conducted two logic and accuracy tests of voting machines.”

No problems were reportedly found by initial reviews according to the local paper, which also pulled a statistically significant sample of ballots for further validation.

In a state with a reputation for remarkable accuracy in ballot counting, however, Arizona Senate lawmakers have concluded the ongoing audit is necessary to reassure voters who are already skeptical of the results. President Joe Biden became the first Democrat to carry the state’s electoral votes since 1996, capturing Arizona over President Donald Trump by less than 10,000 votes.

“When you’ve got half of the people who do not trust the electoral system anymore, rightly or wrongly, and they have questions, who is responsible for answering these questions?” Republican Arizona Senate President Karen Finn told KTAR News, a local outlet on Tuesday as reported by the Washington Post. “This has been the sole thing, to get answers, so that if we have any problems, we can fix them.”

Finn did not respond to The Federalist’s request for an interview.

The sponsored Twitter feed goes on the highlight Arizona’s Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs blasting lawmakers for their vigilant demands of a thorough ballot review as jeopardizing faith in elections.

Absent from Twitter’s trending topic was any Republican defense of the audit, as the platform editorializes trends to serve as an extended arm of legacy media.

The Arizona audit launched last week can be live-streamed here, and is expected to be complete within two months.

The Soro/Socialists are very worried. They’re getting desperate over the election audits.

Going after Matt Gaetz, Rudy Guiliani, and Victoria Toensing are all last ditch efforts to take the focus off of their massive corruption.

Twitter is just joining the pathetic parade.

These people are such idiots. The more they try to fight or discredit this, the more millions of people worldwide understand they are indeed hiding something.

Honest election officials would NEVER object to an audit of their work. In fact, they would welcome it.

[Richard Axtell]

There have been no “previous audits” of the Maricopa County election ballots. This is the first. Previous audits, were just recounts, nothing more. NO forensic ballot auditing, no oversight, no legitimacy. This article is FRAUD. No surprise at all, even in Surprise, AZ.

All out war by the Commies

Throwing rocks, kitchen sinks and toilet bowls at the process

The lawfare will be escalated into violence if they can’t get someone to waver and call a stop

In the Live Stream you can see they have doubled the number of round tables

Not just twitter.

Google's youtube just de platformed ScottsdaleStudios one of the best information sources covering the Arizona election fraud content.

The deleted all the 2020 election related content and a youtube search for ScottsdaleStudios specifically brings up Arizona Election Audit youtube content from sources such as ABC, CNN, MSNBC, AZFamiy, all of which are essentailly anti audit fake news, gaslighting and misinformation propaganda .

It seems all of the people who were proponents of the audit have been de platformed and their past content deleted.

This is way past Orwellian

Everything to hide..........

[rdcbn1]

It seems we are seeing the start of media black out of any realistic and fair reporting of the AZ Election Audit

[monkeyshine]

Everything about this is nuts.

We, the people, have all these elected officials, who appoint bureaucrats, who hire droves of public sector officials and worker bees. Nobody trusts anyone so everyone has to outsource nearly everything. Outsource the elections and ballot counting to private companies. Outsource the audit process to private companies.

Then subsidize, regulate, and tax them.

Twitter is Chinese communist propaganda, period.

Democrats hate America and want to see her destroyed, period.

[ifinnegan]

Can’t really trust Arizona Republicans.

Formalized audits should be part of every election reform bill that is written going forward. If investors can and should be protected with routine where of financial statements, voters should be protected as well.

Sunshine is a wonderful disinfectant.

That’s why as an analog, the best security or encryption software is open source. The developers *want* to have other people look at the code. It proves the design is transparent and helps spot any design flaws.

Exactly. Election officials on both sides would welcome with open arms any type of audit that would ensure the public of an an open, honest and transparent election process.

After all, it is the public that owns the process and results... NOT the officials.

No one should object... except those who have something to hide.

“No prior experience with ____ [fill in the blank]”

Yeah, and how many cabinet level people now in office have no experience with their charge?

What about the DHS guy, Mayorkas?

How about Pete Buttgieg and the Dept of Transporation?

And John F’n Kerry, what’s his experience with climate change other than mouthing off and watching jet contrails from 30000 feet in a private jet while munching hor’s d’oeuvres shaped like Jenjis Khan?

Bombs away!:

They worry and complain tooooooo much.... they are afraid some truth may come out. I am surprised the building hasn’t been set on fire or pepper spray in the duct work. Well at least not net.

[dragnet2]

Of course...Here comes the Democrats attempts trying to undermine, compromise and discredit the recorded forensic audit. They really fear this thing.
