The upside of TWTR is when you actually can engage in real conversations. I had just that experience today with @MichelleUgenti who has represented me and her other constituents in the AZ House then Senate since 2011.
Senator Ugenti-Rita has been a strong advocate of conservative policy over the years. I was happy to see her actively fighting for election integrity and pushing bills for improving the electoral process in Arizona, something she's been focused on far before Nov 3 2020.
As a voter I was confused by the failure of the Senate to pass her legislation SR1485 regarding cleaning up the permanent early voting rolls here in AZ. We've voted by mail for a long time in AZ, but when are the rolls ever updated? It seems...never.
Ordered: Audit fully comply with AZ law, only red pens on the floor. Secret ballot be protected, voter info confidential. Wants briefing on separation of powers, legislative powers. The audit will proceed. Very temp halt 5pm today til Monday noon. Ds have to post 1MMbond
Judge wants to review policy and procedures. Audit halted only until Monday.
Judge is restricting review of policy/procedures are those responsive to allegations in the complaint. Good, the Ds were trying to verbally add more and the Judge stopped it.
Omg...seriously with the blue pens? What is going on in Maricopa County with stupid pens? First the sharpies on 11/3 now someone had blue pens in the audit area.
Ah. So it was an AZ Republic "reporter" who is acting inside as an observer who "found" the blue pens and suddenly this is a big deal for this hearing.
That's not fishy at all.
Here she is. Funny how quickly that got to the Ds to become part of the hearing this morning:
THREAD: AZ needs YOUR help! Maricopa Board of Supervisors is trying to screw up the audit. We need everyone emailing our State Senators, they have the power to override the BOS. Please read the next few tweets for info. WE can make this happen, we need your help!
MC BOS had a closed meeting on Thursday. This summarizes what they're trying to pull this time:
In all reports of the accident in SoCal btwn SUV/ Semi, I've not seen ONE journalist comment why that the SUV had 25+ people in it.
Why/how do you think that was?
Coyotes remove the seats and stack humans.
That horrible business is back under Biden. #HumanTrafficking
This trade, and it's thriving again under Biden, isn't only poor people playing the evil Cartel's Coyotes to get them cross the border, in hopes of a decent job in the USA to send money home to their families. Those are few>
The majority are unaccompanied children and women either given, sold to or kidnapped by the Cartels for sex trafficking, indentured servitude, or hostages for ransom from their families back home who have often already paid for "safe passage".
