NEW: One of the largest looming questions around Arizona's election audit is who all is involved --- and how they got involved.

We are starting to connect the dots.

Here's my story w/ @andrewoxford, for subscribers only.

And THREAD ...
azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
1. Doug Logan.

CEO of Cyber Ninjas, firm running the audit. A little history. (He says his bias doesn't matter because he won't be touching the ballots)
2. John Brakey.

A Tucson guy who says he is trying to make this audit fair and transparent by getting a seat at the table.
3. Gene Kern.

Leader of Wake Technology, the firm running the hand count. We learned more about him.

(Including Anthony Kern says Gene is unrelated)
4. Bobby Piton.

A financial adviser who claimed in November he had found voter fraud in Arizona data says he is currently reviewing Arizona voter information. We tried to nail down his actual involvement.
This story outlines more about what we know about the players involved in the Arizona election audit.

Final thought: As part of working on this story I reached out to @BarnettforAZ because an earlier tweet of his made me wonder if he was getting some insider info on the early results of the audit. He clarified that he is not.

About the auditing Maricopa County has already done...

Rumor: No hand count done
Truth: Hand count of statistically significant # of ballots

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.

Performed by appointees of all major political parties.

Maricopa County 100% accurate azsos.gov/election/2020-…
Independent audit results from Maricopa County

Reports linked here. All came back clean.

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
