FACT FOCUS: A false narrative of 74K extra votes in Arizona
apnews.com ^ | July 17, 2021 | ALI SWENSON

Posted on 07/17/2021 9:05:02 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Cyber Ninjas, the cybersecurity consulting firm hired by Arizona Senate Republicans to oversee a partisan review of the 2020 election, on Thursday pushed a false narrative that Maricopa County received thousands of mail-in ballots that had no record of being sent out to voters.

The firm’s CEO Doug Logan used the baseless claim to urge legislators to subpoena more records and canvass voters at home, grasping for evidence of fraud even as a hand count of a statistical sample of ballots and two post-election audits showed no proof of wrongdoing in Maricopa County’s election.

The false claim has reverberated online in the day since Logan’s comments, parroted by lawmakers and Republican commentators including Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert and former President Donald Trump.

The auditors said there were 74k ballots for which there was not a match between the EV32 ballot sent form, and EV33 ballot receipt form, and they were looking for an explanation. They did NOT say that 74k more ballots were received than sent, and even clarified the point.

People have been misstating what the auditors said, and the AP appears to mis-state it as well, in addition to some other deceptions and anointments as fact of things they don’t actually know.

... a hand count of a statistical sample of ballots and two post-election audits ....

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Neither of which are a FULL FORENSIC audit as is currently being conducted. Just wait until they get to the 'canvas' part - Lib heads will be exploding like water balloons.

In addition, they seem to ignore a few other little niggling details in addition to the 70K+ extra votes .....h/t Conservative Treehouse for graphic:

I really don’t want to give them a click-may I ask a question?

Do they have an explanation or piece of evidence, or are they just saying it is unfounded and false?

Because I believe the people who say there were 74,000 more sent in than were sent out.

There may be an explanation. If there is, I sure would like to hear it.

But the burning question for me is not whether it it true that there were 74,000 more returned than were sent out.

If those 74,000 can be individually identified, how many are for Biden, and how many are for Trump?

I would think that would tell us something significant, wouldn’t it?

The left uses the same negative terms over and over again. Why spend the time writing about it trying to shut it down? They have no intelligence to have intellectual curiosity or they know that there is something to these audits. I remember the NY Slimes recounted Florida at least ten times in 2000.

But the real point is: if there is no EV-32, then the vote must be invalidated, right?

The EV-32 is the legal indicator that someone asked for it, isn't it?

The effect is the same in either case, the votes must be (and should have been) invalidated.

The EV-32 is there by law to protect from exactly the thing that seems to have taken place.

Also, I suspect the EV-32 likely should contain a signature to be used for signature verification.

When an Arizona mail-in ballot is returned and scanned in as a mail-in ballot, the Dominion Democracy Suite EMS system automatically should throw that ballot into a “validation queue”.

Someone will have to look at that ballot image from the mail-in document scanner, and I would bet money that in Arizona, when that mail-in ballot image is launched from the validation queue in the Democracy Suite EMS workstation, the document management server probably knows the location of the scanned image of the EV-32 and pulls it up so the person doing validation can compare the signature on the EV-32 with the signature on the ballot.

I have never actually seen one of these systems, but I’ll bet that is one of the two reasons for the EV-32, those being the ballot request, and the documentation of the signature for later retrieval and validation.

Of course, these things can and probably were “batch validated” where they selected a thousand at a time and marked them as validated without even looking. Knowing the way government employees work, that wouldn’t surprise me at all.

The media is foaming at the mouth

cuz the canvas is coming.

Folks might or might not know or
beleive the veracity
of the vote fraud
found in forensic audits

But once the word of mouth

that will roll across the land

of first hand accounts

of how many folks

had their name and address used

for multiple votes

their media megaphone
will lose
ALL
credibility.

False, because it was 75K plus.

I posted this the other day on another thread about those logs they mentioned, and will post it here in case you haven't...hope you don't mind me posting it again here, Berlin Freeper...

From the article:

"...Additionally, in March 2021 (four or five months AFTER the election) 37,646 queries hit the system for a “blank password on a system that only contained 8 accounts,” according to Cotton.

Cotton explained that “clearly, there was a script executed by an EMS admin.” He has no idea where that script came from. That is why he needs the router logs and Splunk data.

The system works on a FIFO basis, first in first out. This is a critical point because once the system hits 20 megabytes of information, the older information is deleted.

Therefore, as Petersen summarized, those 37,646 queries churned the data, so data is only available back to February of 2021..."

So.

For those who don't understand why this is direct evidence of fraud, let me explain why this unknown person logged in and did this:

As someone who has had to personally inspect computers for malicious, intentional activity, the absence of logs (erased) or the manipulation of logs as described above is a GIANT RED FLAG that someone was trying to hide something and cover their tracks.

Of course, there may have been a valid reason someone ran a script all those times. But nobody knows why, what the script did exactly, where the script came from, and...most of all...who ran it.

IF THEY CAN GET THE ROUTER LOGS, THEY MAY WELL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THIS SCRIPT WAS BEING RUN FROM.

THEY CAN MATCH UP THE DATES AND TIMES THE SCRIPT WAS RUN WITH THE ROUTER LOG FILE DATES AND TIMES.

AND THAT MAY BE WHY THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FRAUD ARE RESISTING WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT TO RELEASE THE ROUTER INFORMATION.

So it took them several days to come up with a plausible explanation of the discrepancies regarding the 74,000 votes not accounted for on the EV-32 and 33.

The trouble is that there should be an accurate accounting of all votes requested, cast, duplicated, discarded, or destroyed and there doesn’t seem to be.

They claim that the record of early ballots requested up to 10 days prior to the election is only kept for party get out the vote purposes. And they say that those numbers do not account for the ballots requested during that 10 day gap and those that came in on the actual election day.

The question again is, “Why aren’t all ballots accounted for?” Do they not keep records of those who came in to an election center during those 10 days, requested an early ballot and turned it in either that day or on election day?

Why were the EV 32 and 33 the only records turned over to the auditors if they kept records of the 10 days gap? And are we to believe that 74,000 people came in to request an early voting ballot in those 10 days? If so, where are the records of those 74,000 ballots?

“Baseless”

Well if the propaganda arm of Chomo Joe says it is baseless, then it is obviously baseless.

Cyber Ninjas, the cybersecurity consulting firm hired by Arizona Senate Republicans to oversee a partisan review

Cyber Ninjas may be overseeing it, but they are not the ONLY auditing team. There are four. One of them is headed by a die hard Bernie supporter and he agrees with the results. So much for their "partisan review" claim.
