The point is not that there is a recount per se (although how many recounts are you willing to have until you stop?), but how it is being conducted. And they way the audit is to proceed is very lopsided to the GOP favor and not a whole lot in the way of transparency.
Find discrepancies? No. Invent discrepancies? Yes.
What is it you think I dont understand?
OK. So you've already decided what the objective is and what the outcome will be. Perhaps, exercising that amazing intuition you have, you can also tell us what the auditors will make up and how they will validate their claims!! The Amazing Kreskin has got nothing on you so please, enlighten us.
Since the investigating party expects to find election fraud and has limited transparency, I'm sure they'll find just what they are expecting. I don't consider this an audit that is likely to produce unbiased results.
Does it matter to you that both Democrat and Republican observers will oversee every workstation?
It bothers me that the investigators are openly biased.
In other words, you cant make an argument. Rather than admit it you attack me. Not sure why you log in to a debate site when you have no ability to debate
Having to go to Florida to get a non-partisan auditing crew leads me to expect discrepancies. But, since no one will believe them when they merely produce numbers, they're wasting their time.
They tried to get the former county recorder Helen Purcell, who was in the office for around 20 years to help, she said....no way, this is a mockery.
- Arizona and Maricopa county has had enough checks of the 2020 election. Some just don't accept the results.
Last I heard is $150,000 was allocated by the Senate. The AZ Republican Party has said they are receiving private contribution that may off set the cost. Lin Wood has said he has donated $50K.
What do you believe is the purpose of this latest effort to hand count the Maricopa County ballots from the 2020 election is?
Maybe. But Im not sure how the auditing of ballots is going to change anything. Once a ballot is separated from the envelope it came in, im not sure what there is to inspect. It seems like a waste of time to me, but its not my time being wasted so I dont much care. Nor do I think this has any impact on our precious democracy.
To see if the count was accurate. Checking and rechecking ballots to insure election integrity strengthens the democratic process.
Already been done and the election certified.
Who cares?
Not every audit covers the same things. For example, I can audit someone's gross income but that won't tell me anything about their expenses. I can audit policy and procedure but that won't tell me anything about financial viability. People hear the word "audit" and figure it means that everything has been thoroughly checked. That isn't the case at all. Every audit has a "scope" and only the things within that scope can be looked at.
Im happy to debate the issue. Ive already said that I dont see how this audit will find anything, but if people want to go through the effort, why not let them?
