I’m back as #azauditpool reporter, where the ‘machine count’ has begun. It started just a few minutes before 2pMT. @CNN is sending out the live pool signal for local stations. Pls record on your end, stations

The man in the salmon colored top is Brian Blehm, Cyber Ninjas attorney. We were told the AZ Senate is running this machine hand count but Blehm is here & Doug Logan has also been here #azauditpool

A source, who has been on the floor of this so-called audit, tells me he recognizes all of these workers from the Coliseum and they are Cyber Ninjas subcontractor workers. #azauditpool

Missed the first box, but the second one took 39 minutes to 'jog' then run through the counter. There are approximately 1500 boxes to go through with 2 machines (looking up the exact number now). #azauditpool

The next box took 14 minutes to jog and count. They improved their time #azauditpool

All the people shuffling papers? Observer says Cyber Ninjas originally had ballots organized by their own designated ‘pod.’ They’re NOW reorganizing their filing system to pallets, boxes & batch (the way the Ninjas originally got the materials from Maricopa)#azauditpool

More than an hour into the machine count of Maricopa Co’s 2020 ballots, they’ve completed 5 boxes. #azauditpool

This is gonna take a loooooooonnnnnggggg time to get through 1500-plus boxes. #azauditpool is going down early today to work ahead on stories. Still at 5 boxes counted.

Last tweet of this #azauditpool thread. It’s so hot in here, Cowboy Hat Andy is sans-hat.
