So. AZ audit packs up for the week. Workers have gone home. But two in orange shirts remain, talking to Cyber Ninjas' attorney Bryan Blehm.

Why do they have special access. I'm 👀.

(Please don't respond to this tweet naming people, that's not my intention. But this is curious.)
Hugs goodbye as they leave. One observer walks out with Blehm. #azauditpool
Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan remains with some Wake Tech employees.
Truck lights flashing.

In the middle of a recount, packing computers and tally sheets with the recount results into a truck while observers and journalists are not there.

I may not go to bed tonight. #azauditpool
If anyone wants to join me in watching, you can watch here: azaudit.org.

I do need to be at the coliseum by 8 am and still need to shower so probably need to sleep at some point.
I'm most interested in camera 8 right now. The yellow papers are tally sheets. I can't tell if they are filled out or not. I'm interested to see what they do with them.
They are putting laptops in that open box. Is that a safe? (anyone know?)

(Note: Not trying to say anything is nefarious here, just making notes so we have them.) #azauditpool

Also to clarify: I'm not an official pool reporter right now. I don't believe there is one.
Update on the yellow tally sheets. It appears that's the table where they print them.

Why I think this: Those are printers, and I saw person take off the table a partially opened stack of blank yellow pages.

So thinking they are blank tally sheets, not filled out.
Update from one of the loading dock areas. There is a pigeon (next to the white chair). And the fan is still on @Garrett_Archer #azauditpool
I'm now focused on Cameras 6&9, which give the best view of the giant black box in the middle of the room. This the server where they are keeping all of the data.

Just want to see if that goes on a truck tonight.
I'm gonna take a break. Can someone screenshot for me if they roll that server outta there?
Before I step away, some info:

They are packing up tonight because they are taking a break counting for about a week as graduations take place in the coliseum.

There are many questions still about how they are securing the ballots & data during the break.
I am not sure whether they told anyone they would be packing tonight. I do know I am going to be there at 8 a.m. as the reporter on pool duty - wondering now if there will be anything left to pack when I get there.
I'm watching again. Specifically on Camera 8. The two black boxes in the middle. They have laptops that came from the tables where the counters enter results. I want to see where they go.
Actually camera 5 is a better view. The box that's still open on the bottom middle is the one I'm watching specifically since I can't watch them all at once and I saw multiple laptops loaded in that one.
They are wheeling the black boxes onto a lift (visible on camera 7) but I can't see what the lift is connected to.
Alright, I've gotta wake up in 6 hours.

If anyone is still watching... I'm focused on where those black boxes in camera 5 go, and whether they leave all of the ballots in the cages & the giant black server there until the morning.

I'll sign back on around 8 a.m.
#azauditpool
Ugh I'm still here cuz I can't quit this.

They just loaded the box with the computers from the results table onto the lift. I believe the lift (camera 7) is attached to the back of a truck. From camera 2 you can see what appears to be the truck.
Really going to sleep now. Just to clarify. I’ve been at home this whole time watching on azaudit.org. If anyone sees the thing we think is a truck in the far view of camera 2 drive away let me know.

❓What election files did the county delete
❓Did the auditors use a WiFi router
❓Will Dominion give admin access to its machines
❓Will supervisors meet with senators

No clear answers yet but here's what @andrewboxford & I know, for subscribers:
azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
I've stayed relatively quiet as various statements and claims have been made in the last 24 hours because I don't want to spread misinformation.

Hoping we get some more info with documents to back it up very soon.
The 2 main questions on my mind these days:

- Why did the SOS settle in court if so many questions remain
- Will the county supervisors provide info willingly or will this go back to another subpoena/court fight

I have many updates to share after talking to Senate Liaison Ken Bennett. Here we go ...

First update, he says they are approaching 210,000 ballots counted. #azauditpool
John Brakey said that there is an independent journalist named Steve Rosenfeld on the audit floor. Bennett confirmed that.

Asked why they had different access then the rest of the journalists, Bennett said I got to go on the floor... I pointed out that others ...
hadn't had the chance. "We allowed him to go on the floor for a few hours like we allowed other people to do in the beginning."

No other response.

NEW from me & @robertanglen: Far-right groups help recruit ballot counters for Arizona audit

azcentral.com/story/news/pol… @azcentral
One recruiter is a retired police officer who works as an investigator for an extremist right-wing group that warns of "the growing threat of the Marxist and the Islamic movement in America."
Another person involved in recruitment used her brief stint as the county Republican Party chairwoman to try to "get Trump back in office" by protesting the results of one of the county's prior audits. That's Linda, mentioned here.

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.

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.

Good summary of auditing done maricopa.gov/5681/Elections…
