So. AZ audit packs up for the week. Workers have gone home. But two in orange shirts remain, talking to Cyber Ninjas' attorney Bryan Blehm.

Why do they have special access. I'm 👀.

(Please don't respond to this tweet naming people, that's not my intention. But this is curious.)

Hugs goodbye as they leave. One observer walks out with Blehm. #azauditpool

Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan remains with some Wake Tech employees.

Truck lights flashing.

In the middle of a recount, packing computers and tally sheets with the recount results into a truck while observers and journalists are not there.

I may not go to bed tonight. #azauditpool

If anyone wants to join me in watching, you can watch here: azaudit.org.

I do need to be at the coliseum by 8 am and still need to shower so probably need to sleep at some point.

I'm most interested in camera 8 right now. The yellow papers are tally sheets. I can't tell if they are filled out or not. I'm interested to see what they do with them.

They are putting laptops in that open box. Is that a safe? (anyone know?)

(Note: Not trying to say anything is nefarious here, just making notes so we have them.) #azauditpool

Also to clarify: I'm not an official pool reporter right now. I don't believe there is one.

Update on the yellow tally sheets. It appears that's the table where they print them.

Why I think this: Those are printers, and I saw person take off the table a partially opened stack of blank yellow pages.

So thinking they are blank tally sheets, not filled out.

Update from one of the loading dock areas. There is a pigeon (next to the white chair). And the fan is still on @Garrett_Archer #azauditpool

I'm now focused on Cameras 6&9, which give the best view of the giant black box in the middle of the room. This the server where they are keeping all of the data.

Just want to see if that goes on a truck tonight.

I'm gonna take a break. Can someone screenshot for me if they roll that server outta there?

Before I step away, some info:

They are packing up tonight because they are taking a break counting for about a week as graduations take place in the coliseum.

There are many questions still about how they are securing the ballots & data during the break.

I am not sure whether they told anyone they would be packing tonight. I do know I am going to be there at 8 a.m. as the reporter on pool duty - wondering now if there will be anything left to pack when I get there.

I'm watching again. Specifically on Camera 8. The two black boxes in the middle. They have laptops that came from the tables where the counters enter results. I want to see where they go.

Actually camera 5 is a better view. The box that's still open on the bottom middle is the one I'm watching specifically since I can't watch them all at once and I saw multiple laptops loaded in that one.

They are wheeling the black boxes onto a lift (visible on camera 7) but I can't see what the lift is connected to.

Alright, I've gotta wake up in 6 hours.

If anyone is still watching... I'm focused on where those black boxes in camera 5 go, and whether they leave all of the ballots in the cages & the giant black server there until the morning.

I'll sign back on around 8 a.m.

Ugh I'm still here cuz I can't quit this.

They just loaded the box with the computers from the results table onto the lift. I believe the lift (camera 7) is attached to the back of a truck. From camera 2 you can see what appears to be the truck.

Really going to sleep now. Just to clarify. I’ve been at home this whole time watching on azaudit.org. If anyone sees the thing we think is a truck in the far view of camera 2 drive away let me know.
