About the auditing Maricopa County has already done...

Rumor: Only did a logic & accuracy test on voting machines
Truth: Hired firms to examine if machines were hacked/connected to internet
Results:

Hand counts by county.

Independent audit results from Maricopa County

Reports linked here. All came back clean.

Good summary of auditing done maricopa.gov/5681/Elections…
Claim: Media didn’t pay attention to the county’s audits.

Truth: This has been the primary focus of my reporting since Nov. 3.

Claim: Independent county audits were done by biased groups.

Truth: Here’s what I found... azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Anthony Kern, a former state lawmaker who was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 when rioters disrupted Congress, is among the people helping to count and inspect Maricopa County ballots. azcentral.com/story/news/pol… @azcentral
He has served as a counter several days so far. I spotted him on the first day of the audit when I was serving as an observer.

I walked up and asked him to talk to me about why he wanted to serve as a counter. He agreed to talk until someone reminded him he signed an NDA. Image
Via @andrewboxford & @utilityreporter, media was told Cyber Ninjas was screening counters for ‘strong opinions.’ Image

Alright, everyone, I did it.

I wrote an entire story about the UV flashlights and what the auditors could be looking for on Maricopa County ballots.

All of the theories, unpacked, here: azcentral.com/story/news/pol… @azcentral
But also: It appears that they stopped using the UV light at some point today. Maria was the pool reporter in the afternoon.
Maria was kicked out of her approved shift early tonight. It looks like it was hopefully just a miscommunication. Well, several miscommunications, over and over and over again.

Before I leave the coliseum, here’s a few overall observations. #azauditpool 1/?
The procedures for counting ballots seem more defined than on Friday and the counting seems to be running smoothly. #azauditpool
In this room, you can observe the ballot counting only. Somewhere else in this coliseum, auditors are examining the county’s voting machines. The media was not given access to that area, and the livestream does not show that area, either. #azauditpool

Arizona audit update: After the ballots are counted at the tables, they go to an inspection table. Three people sit at the table.
(There are many unanswered questions about what they are doing. I’m only going to tweet what I am 100% confident I am seeing.) #azauditpool 1/?
The first person at the table is lining up the ballot under a Canon camera hooked onto brackets. #azauditpool
That person passes to a second person who is lining up the ballot under a device that displays a portion of the ballot onto a computer screen. One of the images displayed on the screen is a filled-in bubble, and it is magnified and examined. #azauditpool

Arizona election audit update: The procedures for counting ballots have changed in at least a few ways since Friday.

One is that the counters are no longer looking at scanned images of ballots displayed on monitors before marking their tally sheets. #azauditpool 1/?
Also: Counters are reviewing ballots in smaller batches before the table monitor checks to see whether their counts match. The ballots were checked after every 100 on Friday. Now, it is less. I cannot tell how much less. #azauditpool 2/?
The counters generally do not appear to be talking to one another while a ballot is in front of them. Although, they do have masks on, so they could be talking quietly.

There is a lot less chatter in this room, overall. #azauditpool

There are ~46 pallets of boxes. It appears that five pallets have been broken into and two are nearly complete. Not all of the boxes the county packed have ballots in them, according to Maricopa County Elections Department. Some had computers and other materials. #azauditpool 3/7
Counters are working at ~18 tables right now, with 3 counters at each table. It is taking about 15 seconds per ballot. But the counting is not continuous; breaks between batches. The procedures for counting the ballots have changed. More on that later #azauditpool 4/7
There are fewer observers on the floor than when I was here on Friday. There were 19 then and the most I have seen on the floor now is 14. I’ll try to update later if that changes. #azauditpool 5/7
