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.

False claims about them being false claims.
The President of the United States is REQUIRED to fulfil his Constitutional duty to “faithfully execute” the laws of the land!
Ever since THE STEAL, President Trump and his 80 odd million supporters have been waging war against the establishment LIEberal Democrats and Republicans who, without question, lied, cheated and stole the election FRom him and other Republicans!
IOW, President Trump, in questioning the election "results," is merely fulfilling his Constitutional duty to “faithfully execute” the laws of the land!
Right, The boston globe building entrance looks like a beer keg cut in half. Guess we have to ignore everything they say. I’m starting now.
Could have done without the cartoonish snark of the author.
Do I think it should
Huge YES!!
How do they know that the claims of fraud are false? When did they do their audit? They do not know, and they are terrified, because, if this is shut down, the nation will not appreciate it. In ways that they are not prepared to deal with.
Clearly, there is plenty to find here, and the MSM and Democrat cabal cannot afford for those findings to come to light. This is going to get very interesting very soon.
“Election Fraud Bingo”
Do you know anything about this? Any books covering this would make a great read.
And, “cartoonish colors” for shirts. Well, it the Boston Globe known for beans. It works both ways.
Expecting truth out of the MSM is foolish. They are professional liar working for their masters, the global oligarchy.
Welcome to Free Republic.
BUT Wood is mentally unstable, given to delusions of grandeur and magic thinking ... like demon rats.
That's beyond "completely looney."
That's called tendentious writing in a full-on editorial comment in a supposed news story... by what used to be thought of as a serious media outlet.
See how many words and phrases that you can match to your slanted editorial bingo card...
I don’t why Wood feels it necessary to say such intemperate things. The US has a very very high bar for treason as a lawyer he knows that. Bottom line he knows better, there most be money in it somewhere. Dollars are usually at the basis for most things, this particularly so !
Historically we are a very forgiving nation. Here’s the list of people convicted of treason against the US.
Very few were ever actually executed !

He was the first man convicted and sentenced to death on a federal treason charge since the Civil War. His sentence was later commuted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to life in prison.

All six individuals were charged with treason for giving aid and comfort to the executed German saboteur Herbert Hans Haupt. On appeal, these judgments were reversed and remanded to be retried. Hans Max Haupt was convicted again on June 9, 1944. He was sentenced to life in prison. He appealed again, but the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this judgement.

I read the Globe often. Not for news, but for laughs, especially the “Letters to the Editor”. The writers have long time ago, forgotten the difference between a “news event” and an opinion.
You’re right.
Gotta wonder how many infiltrators there are on these audit teams though.. I sure hope the Taliban isn't INSIDE the building as they are the DemonRat party and their RAT media.
