CORRECTING THE RECORD ON NOV. 2020 ELECTION: We have published our comprehensive response to the Senate/Cyber Ninja #azaudit.

Read the report: JustTheFacts.vote

🧵⬇️

KEY POINTS:
• Canvassed results were accurate
• Fewer than 100 potentially questionable ballots cast out of 2.1 million
• No systemic issues; no races impacted
• @maricopavote followed all federal, state, and local laws

THEIR SMOKING GUNS WERE FULL OF BLANKS:
• Cyber Ninjas made faulty or inaccurate claims about more than 53,000 ballots in 18 different categories
• CyFIR claims re: equipment were all inaccurate
• EchoMail claims re: early ballot images were all misleading

WE KEPT THE RECORDS:
@maricopavote cloned copies of the election server as it was when it was delivered to the Senate. Those clones, + security logs and surveillance footage, help disprove many of the outrageous claims made by Sen contractors, such as intentionally deleted files.

WE WENT EVEN FURTHER:
As an added check, the County hired a third-party cyber security and incident response firm staffed by former FBI officials to provide independent analysis. Their findings affirmed the integrity of county personnel and processes.

WE KNOW THE LAWS:
Elections are governed by federal and state election laws. Want to know why we do things a certain way? It’s in statute or the election procedures manual. Our report cites the laws we followed related to each claim made by Senate contractors.

BOTTOM LINE: The AZ Senate’s $9 million “forensic audit” proved only one thing--that hiring inexperienced partisans with no knowledge of election laws or procedures to analyze an election in the 2nd largest voting jurisdiction in America is a bad idea.

LEARN MORE: The entire report is posted at JustTheFacts.vote. @maricopavote professionals will summarize the findings and take questions from the Board of Supervisors during a hearing that will begin shortly. Watch live: youtube.com/maricopacounty….
