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.

SOS. Opinion disguised as news.

Wonder how they prefer their crow up Boston way ?
The order has come from above for all hands on deck in the corrupt democrat machine. The order has gone out to the corrupt DOJ, and MSM, among others. They are really scared.
false claims of election fraud
Like RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA??
You should hear the local FM news radio/talk station. A constant drumbeat of ridicule of the ‘Fraudit’. There are 2 particularly stupid talk hosts that sound absolutely hysterical now that the audit is about over. Only one pallet of ballots to go and they are freaking out. Hmmmmm....
For gawd’s sake it’s exhausting how idiotic the media thinks people are…
They really seem desperate to come up with anything to portray the Arizona audit process in a bad light. In reality they are just making themselves look like fools.
People wear specific colors and uniforms in all kinds of situations. Maybe the authors at the Boston Globe should head out to Fenway park so they can watch the men clad in cartoonish colored clothes with misspelled words like Red Sox written on them. And sometimes they are doing something strange out in the field with men wearing cartoonish blue colored shirts that say Blue Jays.
Somehow, even with the cartoonish clothes and strange antics the Boston fans stand up and cheer for the men wearing the red shirts.
Ah yes. The ComPost.
I don't even think it is 'Opinion'. More like flop-sweat fear pretending to be news.
I stand corrected. 😎
The very first sentence is a lie: “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.”
This journalist thinks he knows what President Trump thinks! He’s apparently a mind reader.
The Borg is afraid.
“it is widely seen as a fever dream”
The writer is feeling just a tad bit inferior to the strong Americans in AZ. But that will remain a secret. You’re welcome, Loser Jess.
Clever propaganda, cleverly done. Notice the use of
cartoon colors and characterizations.
All selected for a specific demographic.
The late great Rush.
Hey, thanks for the great article. Gak
Got anything from CNN?
Trying to impress someone of the opposite, ah, gender. (Well, maybe not all that opposite.)
Preening like a peacock, hoping to get an opportunity to consummate the relationship.
I lived in Boston (well, Cambridge) for many years. Know the type only too well.
