I wouldn't put anything past these guys. They are no different than the people in third world countries who plot ways to gain permanent power. No scruples, no ethical standards at all and certainly no sense of decency. I fully expected the sham audit jn Arizona to yield a so called win for Trump. yet if the following is true I will be totally amazed. It would mean these guys are actually honest? What a lovely surprise that will be. The review widens Biden's victory margin by 360 votes.
"Maricopa County, Arizona, said Thursday that a draft report from a company in a contentious, partisan review of November's election has confirmed the winners.
The "draft report from Cyber Ninjas confirms the county's canvass of the 2020 General Election was accurate and the candidates certified as the winners did, in fact, win," Maricopa County tweeted Thursday night.
Cyber Ninjas is the Florida-based cybersecurity company leading an effort by Republicans to audit the 2020 presidential election in the Arizona.
The review grew out of Arizona Republican lawmakers' efforts to toss out President Joe Biden's victory in November, and the state and the county have been targeted by those who falsely believe the presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Maricopa County did not release the draft.
NBC affiliate KPNX of Phoenix said that it obtained a copy of the report and that the review widens Biden's victory margin by 360 votes.
Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican who ordered the election review, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night. She told KPNX that "we will all find out tomorrow" about the contents of the report, but said "there is a lot of information you all need to see."
The findings are scheduled to be released Friday in the state Senate.
If this turns out to be true, I'm betting it's just another red herring, designed to "prove" that these fraudits are perfectly OK and should be allowed in all the other states where TFG is demanding recounts (Texas being the latest.) The true intent is a 50 state effort to cast uncertainty on the outcome of all free and fair elections from now on. Putin must be rubbing his hands in glee.
The Republican party is the party of sore losers who want to make sure they can lock out anyone who they don't want to vote.
I hope the lawsuit filed against them will shut them down-because once they get that information, the next thing they'll be knocking on one's door and telling one that if you don't vote for them, you'll lose your job, your house and your family. Especially if you're not the right color to them.
I'm not kidding. Not only are they sore losers, they love to blackmail and intimidate people into doing what they want, like in the south...where I'm sure there are a lot of black people who can remember the same thing going on a long time ago..or doesn't it still happen?
The other thing they will do after identifying who voted for whom, is to use their new state laws which allow the COUNTING of votes by the state Trumplican party, to target exactly which votes they want to toss out.
Trump has scared Gov. Greg Abbott into recounting votes in 4 large North Texas counties. I guess Abbott is so afraid of a primary challenger that he will do anything Trump tells him to do. Hopefully Trump will get less votes again like Arizona.
I can think of all kinds of reasons why the Republican subpoena should be quashed, not the least of which would have to be that the election is over and done with. All of that earlier litigation, including the several audits that were already done at the behest of the Pennsylvania Republican Party made conclusive findings that no voter fraud had occurred. Subpoenas seeking the personal data of voters within individual counties would seem to be prima facie evidence of partisan overreaching and attempts at voter intimidation. If these subpoenas are predicates to the raising of additional claims against them by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania conducts its statewide elections, the three previous suits (I think there were three) pretty much answered the question by finding specifically that there was no fraud. In those earlier litigations, Republican specifically disclaimed arguing voter fraud in court, while outside on Fox News, voter fraud was all they could talk about. We've seen how Republican operatives handled the Arizona 'fraudit'; and now, amid the sheepishness and chagrin of having to admit that the 'Cyber Ninjas' found additional Biden votes, and fewer Trump votes than originally reported, I would think that any self-respecting Pennsylvania trial court judge would be unable to overlook the fact that Arizona Republicans' failed effort ought to pretty much warrant a finding that Pennsylvania Republicans should not be permitted to take their party's show on the road. Given what we know about the way this so-called audit was handled, there is no reason to allow it to continue, unless the Pennsylvania Republican Party is prepared to offer a surety bond backed by a nationally rated insurance company that would reimburse both the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local governments for whatever costs they incur, down to the last dollar. Of course, nobody is going to do that; but imposing a suretyship requirement on the Republican Party would convey the message to one and all that this is serious business, and as with serious business, they would need to be fully prepared to pay whatever costs were incurred. As I recall, the several recounts that were done in Pennsylvania immediately following the election were in fact paid for by the Pennsylvania Republican Party. Now this new wrinkle comes along, whether Republican Party is continually insisting on unjustifiable audits as a fundraising gimmick to pick the pockets of their gullible supporters. The idea that voters' personal data can be exposed to jimcrack, fly-by-night grifters like Cyber Ninjas would appear to be illegal on its face.
Repugs: Cheats & Liars, led around like sheep by Corporate-run crooks. Is it any wonder Roger Stone was set free…AGAIN. Thanks to cramming courts with corrupt “conservative” judges and scraping away the ethical standards of practice in journalism (which allows Fox and others to freely lie while calling it “news,”) we have a faltering democracy . Europeans tried to warn Biden that this democracy was in trouble (as if he didn’t know). We are inexorably marching toward fascism and civil uprising.
Cyber Ninjas sure get around, don’t they? They have already proven that they are nothing but dismantlers of private information. There must be a way to stop this from happening. Where is Clark Kent when you need him?

Is anyone surprised?
The author of this crime spree is the same nitwit who claimed Obama was a Muslim.
He enrolled these fools about 10 years ago and they are firmly entrenched in our body politic.
Maybe some of them will remain unvaxxed and disappear.
