The 2020 Arizona audit

 Stu  Cvrk:

...

Let’s look at the real numbers, as that 200 figure is a blatant lie – and the AP knows it. Here are some numerical highlights from the Arizona senate hearing held on 15 July (taken from the hearing video here, beginning at the 3-hour-and-1-minute mark):

1. 11,326 people who voted were not on the 11/7 voter rolls but were somehow listed in the 12/4 database
2. 3,981 people who voted on Election Day were registered after 10/15, which is a violation of Arizona state law
3. ~18,000 people voted on Election Day but were subsequently removed from the rolls
4. 74,243 mail-in ballots were counted with no clear record of having been mailed out in the first place

...

In a follow-up analysis of the Arizona election here, Blehar explained how the electronic vote-shifting of those ~120,000 excess votes in Maricopa County probably happened:

• In order to make it work, a bad actor or actors would have accessed the Arizona’s Voted File to determine how many votes were not cast by the time the polls closed on November 3rd.  Once … the total number of eligible non-voters in each county [was determined], a lesser number of Biden votes could be electronically shifted to that county in the Election Management System.  After that occurred, the voters would be designated as [having] voted in the Voted File.
• The canvassing of votes will not catch the error because the county compares the number of votes cast (from poll book totals) to the totals on the tabulator tapes to ensure they match.  The bad actors would have manipulated the figures to make them match and know which precincts and counties were clean versus those that were not.

This is why Maricopa County won’t release the routers and server logs to the auditors! This excess ballot distribution scheme would be fully exposed.

...

It looks like the auditors have found evidence that things were manipulated and they should continue to demand the rest of the evidence.
