Russ Ramsland and ASOG have been covered extensively, but a group that's new to me appeared.
Understanding the Threat.
Specifically, Stephanie Ameiss from UTT performed background checks on audit subcontractors & volunteers.
She's probably the least extreme member of UTT.

I'm only halfway through the deposition, but Stephanie appears to be the only UTT member officially involved in the audit.
Let's take a look at the other members...

1🧵/ Bridget Ziegler is a current school board member in Sarasota County, FL. She has stepped aside in her role with the Moms probably b/c of the conflict of interest with her job as a school board member, running for re-election.

2/ Also in Sarasota is traitor Mike Flynn, racist State Sen. Joe Gruters, Chair of The RPOF, the #CyberNinjas who did the #Fraudit in AZ, and the founder of the MAGA Patriot Party.
3/ Some excellent research on Joe Gruters Chair of #RPOF, Christian Ziegler(Bridget's husband, and Vice Chair of RPOF), and the scummy world of political financing they all dwell in, by @gal_suburban 🍻
Michael Flynn is trending on Twitter this morning after explosive allegations from Everett Stern, a former HSBC Bank whistleblower & GOP candidate for PA Senate. He is accusing Flynn & operatives of trying 2 recruit him 2 find dirt & blackmail area politicians @davetroy
Everett Stern, in a press conference in Philadelphia on Saturday claimed a group called the "Patriot Caucus" led by General Flynn was also potentially plotting upcoming malign operations in places like Virginia. Virginia has a critical election for Governor on Tuesday #VAGOV
He later provided this photo via his twitter account @EverettStern1 where he is pictured with Andrew Meehan on the left and an unidentified Flynn supporter on the right. Andrew Meehan ran against and lost to @RepBrianFitz who is currently the Rep. for PA's 1st district. #PAGOP
@joshtpm @FedSoc You know what’s also a bad look? The head of @FedSec, Leonard Leo, is in the Council for National Policy (CNP), whose secret unredacted directory was just leaked. Other recent members include Steve Bannon (2014), KellyAnne (2014), Mike Flynn, Charlie Kirk, Ginni Thomas, etc. 1/
@joshtpm @FedSoc @fedsec 2/ I wrote about the CNP in 2017. They are the umbrella group 4 all of the destruction we are witnessing, from the attack on women’s’ rights, to the attack on public schools, the attack on LGBTQ rights, the attack on science, & the attack on the election. link.medium.com/hutrsmGYMjb
So the #Fraudit & Freedom Roadshow had a meet-n-greet with Alabama SOS.
Lindell dragged Dr. Doug Frank (election non-expert) with him on this leg of the tour.

Following the bizarre MI/AZ/GA audits, Dr. Frank has been traveling the country giving presentations.
Below, you see he co-presented with Cory Anderson (III% er, Biker for Trump, friend of Lauren Boebert, and flown by Lindell to the Cyber Symposium) in CO.

Cory started something he calls Election Integrity Project, which (among other things) has been going door-to-door to see how people voted.
And yes, they are part of the 1/6 crowd involved in organizing bus transportation.
And yes, they are part of the 1/6 crowd involved in organizing bus transportation.
The Leadership Institute (founded by Morton Blackwell) & TP USA (founded by Charlie Kirk) are training & organizing Rs across the country to take over public school boards. Blackwell & Kirk are recent CNP members, as are Bannon, Ali Alexander, & Mike Flynn.

We found @SenMastriano on the East Plaza AFTER the steps were breached.
Not surprisingly, he didn't leave right away, he stayed.
I wonder who did he hugged?

.@theDemocrats: If u don’t improve & expand official election audits, Rs will use the inadequacy of most such audits as a pretext 4 more #fraudits. America’s foremost auditing expert told me in October that most official audits aren’t good enuf. 👇nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/… 1/
Yes, we shld worry that hackers cld change votes w/o detection due to our inadequate official audits. We shld also worry that Rs will use the inadequacy of official election audits as a pretext to #fraudit future Dem wins. Weak audits are a lose/lose proposition. Fix this. 2/
Still skeptical? Check out this CAP report from 2018, which gave Arizona a D grade on election security due in part to its inadequate official audits. (Ironically, Maricopa received higher marks than the rest of the state.) 3/ cdn.americanprogress.org/content/upload…
.@theDemocrats: If u ignore experts’ advice to improve & expand manual audit laws, the GOP will use the inadequacy of most official audits as a pretext to undermine Democratic wins. Experts say most audits aren’t robust enuf & apply to only a few races. Improve & expand them! 1/
2/ Here is what @philipbstark, America’s foremost election auditing expert, told me in October 2020. This is unacceptable. It can and likely will be used against us in the next election if we don’t improve official election audits! nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…

PA state Senator Mastriano sent letters Wed. to “multiple counties seeking election-related equipment ‘needed 2 conduct a forensic investigation’ of the 2020 election & the 2021 primary election.”

Giuliani held a fundraiser for Mastriano and invited violent insurrectionist Sam Lazar, also of PA. These are the types of people who will be on standby during a PA #fraudit. 3/
Mastriano is the guy trying to organize an Arizona-style #fraudit in PA. He has close ties to the Capitol attack. This would be more dangerous than Arizona. The Preates, who are close with “Blow everything up” Bannon, are prominent figures in the PA GOP. 1/
Giuliani held a fundraiser for PA gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. One of the guests was a dangerous freak insurrectionist who shouted on Jan. 6, “F*CK the tyrants. We need to hang these motherf**s.”

1/ The coup continues. #Cheboygan Board of Commissioners will vote on requesting a #fraudit of 2020 election tomorrow. Board is unsure if Germany or Taiwan had unauthorized access to our election, which Trump won 64%. Seriously.

2/ As reported by @washingtonpost, right-wing operatives targeted rural, pro-Trump counties starting in December. They look for friendly rubes who will agree to an audit.
Once the audit is approved, private companies create reports that deliberately play up suspicion.

The AZ Super-Ninja frauditors are getting serious about security, moving voting data to the Batcave in the Montana fastnesses (actually, since they're Republicans, it's the Ratcave). Although that "unsupervised driver" is worrisome. Crazing. bit.ly/2TNjPQQ @washdems 54/
.@CharlesPPierce also brings us some more un/savory details of an assertion that the Italian military had used its satellite technology to do something or other to elections in NM, as unlikely as that sounds. Isn't Area 51 in NV? Crazing. @washdems bit.ly/3cXOemg 55/

People of twitter to me: 📢📢📢 Stop calling this an audit! It's not an audit!
Me: Hey professional auditors, is this an audit?

Me: Hey professional auditors, is this an audit?
Answer:
azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
MOST (but not all!) auditors I spoke to said this should not be called an audit. Here's their main points.
1. For professional auditors, objectivity is 'basis for the credibility'
This audit is not objective. It is partisan.
1. For professional auditors, objectivity is 'basis for the credibility'
This audit is not objective. It is partisan.
2. The auditors have what they need for a full and proper investigation.
The county has refused to give the Senate's contractors with information they themselves have said was crucial to the investigation.

Defeated in over 60 lawsuits across the country including SCOTUS, the former guy is now pushing Big Lie “audits” (shall we say “fraudits”) in select states with corrupt politicians, and conducted by his cult members with the goal of shoring up the Big Lie with these fraudits. 1/
Having been personally through scores of financial audits conducted by professional independent public accounting firms who are bound by professional auditing standards and engaged by the appropriate governing board of the entity being audited, I can categorically say
2/

these fraudits are about as useful as used toilet paper, but the former guy will point to them and say “look see, there’s voter fraud”! And I have a Trump Tower in Moscow to sell to anyone who believes it.

This is what I think about the Arizona #fraudit. It is propaganda. I oppose it. That said, most official audits in the US are theatre. Most experts would have said this before the Big Lie. We need laws requiring meaningful manual election audits for ALL federal races in 2022. 1/
2/ Otherwise, in 2022, we will just have #fraudits of Democratic wins and no meaningful manual audits of GOP wins, even if they defy the polls as occurred in 2020. This is a five alarm fire.
3/ This is what a friend of mine who studies audits wrote about Maricopa’s official audit. It was theatre. That does not excuse the GOP cherry picking Maricopa and Dominion. Again, most US election audits are theatre.
The Schlafly Eagles President @EagleEdMartin, good friend of Roger Stone was priming the “voter fraud, mail in ballots” disinformation last September. Roger Stone even admitted that f.g. was “slightly behind in most of the swing states”... phyllisschlafly.com/eagle-countdow…
And by November 5th @EagleEdMartin was promoting their STOP THR STEAL campaign that culminated in January 6th...
On November 5th @EagleEdMartin proclaimed “Donald T***p Won and what has to happen is every Republican at every level...have to say we’re going to do our job and stop the steal”. He was clearly one of the “generals” that led to January 6th and the #FRAUDIT 6 months later...
The @AZGOP has lost control of #fraudit. At one time the @ArizonaAudit was the official acct 4 the #AZaudit in Maricopa county, but now Ken Bennet has informed the media he has lost control of this account & it locked out by someone from out of state. via @TerriJoNeff cc @jpanzer
From the start Ken Bennett claimed & it was stated in the bio that @ArizonaAudit was under his control or at least managed on his behalf. U can see that in these iterations. First using the email address he claims is his in court docs & then in the Bio. In early May this changed
The #fraudit gives me extreme cognitive dissonance bc Ds shld demanded to do what Rs are doing (minus the bamboo shreds, etc). It is inside out. It was Rs that blocked efforts to require meaningful manual audits for all federal races. It is Ds who suffered poll-defying losses. 1/
It’s almost too much to deal with. It is so infuriating. Why can’t there be a happy medium between complete abdication (Democrats) and insurrection (Republicans)? 2/ axios.com/gop-senator-el…
Remember the blue wave that wasn’t? 3/
The GOP got away with it for 15 years bc anyone who says they suspect cheating is called tin foil since they can’t prove it. Check mate. That said, a federal court held in 2018 that GA’s paperless voting machines were unconstitutional. It’s why GA had to move to paper. 1/
It didn’t help that some Democrats have gone along with the paperless voting machine scam. Georgia had a Democratic SOS when it became the first state to deploy touchscreen machines statewide. That year, the state lurched to the right. 2/
Some Ds in Congress voted against paper, including Steny Hoyer & Chris Dodd. The Rs who pushed paperless machines were Mitch McConnell and Bob Ney. 3/
Rs obstructed legislation that would have required robust manual election audits across the board, not just in the race they want to look at, not just the vendor they want to cherry pick, but across the board. This gives them unclean hands. #Fraudit
If you live in Maricopa County, your 2020 ballot is currently sitting at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, in the hands of a company called Cyber Ninjas, run by someone active in the "Stop the Steal" conspiracy.
