I’m back as #azauditpool reporter, where the ‘machine count’ has begun. It started just a few minutes before 2pMT. @CNN is sending out the live pool signal for local stations. Pls record on your end, stations
The man in the salmon colored top is Brian Blehm, Cyber Ninjas attorney. We were told the AZ Senate is running this machine hand count but Blehm is here & Doug Logan has also been here #azauditpool
A source, who has been on the floor of this so-called audit, tells me he recognizes all of these workers from the Coliseum and they are Cyber Ninjas subcontractor workers. #azauditpool
Missed the first box, but the second one took 39 minutes to 'jog' then run through the counter. There are approximately 1500 boxes to go through with 2 machines (looking up the exact number now). #azauditpool
The next box took 14 minutes to jog and count. They improved their time #azauditpool
All the people shuffling papers? Observer says Cyber Ninjas originally had ballots organized by their own designated ‘pod.’ They’re NOW reorganizing their filing system to pallets, boxes & batch (the way the Ninjas originally got the materials from Maricopa)#azauditpool
More than an hour into the machine count of Maricopa Co’s 2020 ballots, they’ve completed 5 boxes. #azauditpool
This is gonna take a loooooooonnnnnggggg time to get through 1500-plus boxes. #azauditpool is going down early today to work ahead on stories. Still at 5 boxes counted.
Last tweet of this #azauditpool thread. It’s so hot in here, Cowboy Hat Andy is sans-hat.

Got robbed. Again. @jasonkCNN & I were at city hall in San Francisco to do an interview for @CNN. We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously- this is ridiculous
Our hired security guard tried to grab the crooks (I’m glad he didn’t get hurt!) but he got this picture of the getaway car.
To the jerks who stole our stuff— I hope someone on this site sees your plate and you get caught
Thank you to @SFPD’s Ofcs Gala & Mac for responding and your kindness.
Maricopa County Sheriff (@Penzone4sheriff). “It’s important to have an adult in the room when others are acting like children” says the sheriff, as protesters continue their ‘vigil’ outside @MaricopaVote
Sheriff Penzone cites @WendyRogersAZ tweet as "giving him pause" that led to increase in security at @MaricopaVote. He then credits @charliekirk11 for tweeting out for protesters to stay away from the Elections Dept. Penzone supports any help to stop crowds so work can continue
Sheriff Penzone says there's a line item in his budget that can hit seven digits to handle these types of protests-- why he's asking people to consider the cost to their community #Arizona
Two envelopes that were sent to Kari Lake's campaign headquarters in Phoenix last Saturday did NOT contain powder or harmful substances, the @PhoenixPolice Department tell @CNN
Police responded on Saturday at 10:15 pm to reports of suspicious mail, police said. On Friday, the day before, a volunteer said they opened an envelope containing a "white powdery substance and a letter" that included vulgar language
The @KariLake volunteer threw the letter and the powder in the trash, which was disposed of by cleaning staff, police say
Full statement from @KariLake on campaign HQ threat:
“Yesterday, a member of the Kari Lake staff opened an envelope delivered to our campaign office that contained suspicious white powder.” (more)
“It was one of two envelopes that were confiscated by law enforcement and sent to professionals at Quantico for examination, and we are awaiting details. The staff member is currently under medical supervision.” (more)
“Just two days before Election Day, our campaign headquarters remains shut down. We look forward to law enforcement completing their investigation as quickly as possible. Rest assured, we are taking this security threat incredibly seriously…” (more)
.@RealMarkFinchem in his speech repeats debunked election lies. Crowd applauds and reacts at each lie. #election2022
Sen @TomCottonAR on the GOP bus tour. “I need reinforcements in the Senate. We need to elect @bgmasters”
Cotton hitting the economy and border, the closing message of the AZ Republican nominees.
Academia has its day w/@IamSandraOh in 'The Chair,' but don't miss Oh's authentic, hysterical & human portrayal as a single Korean-American working mom dealing w/culture & gender expectations & generational pull (and this show nails what the old gen says about dating a white guy)
"Are you talking about me?" asks @jayduplass to @IamSandraOh. White people-- we are always talking about you.
Korean parents never stop criticizing about your life choices. It's how they show love. #truth@IamSandraOh
