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.

Good morning from Phoenix where AZ Sen Pres Karen Fann is holding a hearing on the latest on the so-called audit. Seated at the front is OAN’s Christina Bobb, who has promoted fundraising for the audit and spread conspiratorial lies #AZAudit
Former President Trump sent out an email blast saying, “Big hearing in Arizona.” We've been told this "hearing" does not include public comment or press questions. The room has quite a few spectators #AZAudit
In addition to OAN, Victory News and Gateway Pundit are present. I also see local news stations here.
#NEW poll finds most California likely voters (56%) would vote against the recall of Governor @GavinNewsom if the election were held today. Majority of all Californians approve of the way he is handling his job (54%), from Public Policy Institute of California poll
Like rest of the US, poll finds CA deeply partisan: 79% of Dems say they would vote to keep @GavinNewsom in office, 79% of GOP say they would vote to remove him. Independents break toward keeping Newsom in office, 53% would vote against the recall, 42% support recall
.@GavinNewsom approval rating in the poll stands at 54% overall with 36% disapproving, about even with the approval rating he held in a January poll from PPIC
Denny Kim, pic (left) from yesterday, wks after 2 men broke his nose & beat him in LA Koreatown. "They called me chink, said 'You have the Chinese virus' and 'Go back to China.'" Kim didn't report initially bc he was afraid. Encouraged by others, he's got something to say (more)
Kim, like many AAPI's, has heard all these racial slurs before but ignored them. He now says "silence leads to violence" and Asian-Americans need to speak out and defend one another by being visible. #StopAAPIHate
Denny Kim shared this pic with me. He says he served in the US Air Force, serving his full service time for his country. Even in the military, Kim says he was called horrific racial slurs. He said nothing then, just focusing on doing his duty
I’m at the @Perduesenate@KLoeffler rally. No one has announced yet Sen Perdue is quarantined. Here’s a look at the crowd, yes outdoors, but few masks present. #gasenaterunoffs
Here’s @Perduesenate 2 days ago at an indoor event in Forsyth, GA. @DJJudd shot these pictures. We don’t know when the contact with the #COVID19 positive person on the campaign was. But Perdue and those around him were indoors, not wearing masks
Onstage now, @KLoeffler without @Perduesenate. She’s delivering her stump speech— there’s been no announcement from her or anyone else about Perdue not showing up bc of #COVID19 exposure
.@GaSecofState Raffensperger says results of audit of voter signatures of absentee ballot envelopes in Cobb County show “no fraudulent absentee ballots,” and found that the Cobb Co Elections Dept had “99.9% accuracy rate in performing correct signature verification procedures”
Of 15,118 randomly selected ballot envelopes examined by GBI investigators, only 2 signatures were identified as a problem— a wife who signed her name to both her and her husband’s envelopes
“In this case, three strikes against the voter fraud claims and they’re out,” said @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger
A thread about keeping a foreign name in America: I'm not crazy about my name, Kyung. It's a pain in the a** & I have to spell it repeatedly... daily. FYI, it's pronounced 'Young with a K', not Kee-Young, not Kwang, not Koong, though I will answer to anything close (more)
My father, who dropped his Korean name for "John" as a Chicago shopkeeper, urged me in the 2nd grade to change my name as we registered for school. We argued over the name "Lucy" because I loved the Peanuts. But I couldn't fathom being called something different so I refused.
I regretted it. This jerk in the 5th grade called me Egg Foo Young for the entire year. I still bring it up!
