A draft report of the controversial Maricopa County election audit shows that Biden won by more votes than previously believed. The report shows that Biden gained 99 votes in the recount and Trump lost 261. zetter.substack.com/p/controversia…
In the Arizona senate race between Republican Martha McSally and Democrat Mark Kelly, both candidates lost votes in the recount, though Kelly still came out as the winner in the race, according to the draft document. Kelly lost 60 votes in the recount; McSally lost 541 votes.
Several copies of the draft report have been circulating among media outlets on Thurs, raising questions about its authenticity. But a local ABC news station obtained a copy of the draft report directly from secretary of state thru records request; it matches circulating versions
Maricopa County has this to say about the report:

Should be noted that he was only fired last wk, days before a public hearing into bureau’s flawed investigation of the sex-abuse allegations - the agent learned about allegations in 2015. Recent inspector general report also found that he lied to investigators about it
Although the agent interviewed a gymnast in 2015 about abuse allegations, he didn't write report until 17 months later. Nassar was arrested in late 2016. Between 2015 when the agent learned about the abuse and Nassar's arrest, Nasser went on to abuse between 70-120 more victims.
During this same period, the fired FBI agent's boss Jay Abbott was speaking with US Gymnastic's about a job for Abbot with the Olympics Committee. Abbott applied for the job but later lied to investigators with the inspector general's office and said he never applied for the job.

Then they aren't reading their mail, because ballots for the election have already been sent out. Every active registered voter in the state should have received theirs by now. They were mailed beginning Aug 16.
The bigger issue for Dems in recall election is design of CA mail-in ballot. There are 2 sides. One side has lengthy list of candidates vying to replace Gavin Newsom. The other has single question: Do you want Newsom recalled? Most will miss that recall question and leave blank.
Another way CA voters will get tripped up in recall election -- in some cases officials mailed both a sample ballot and the official ballot in same envelope, which will lead some voters to fill out and return the sample ballot by mistake ksbw.com/article/califo…

"He allegedly told investigators that he believed his children were going to grow into monsters, so he had to kill them' [and said] he was 'enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories' and believed his wife passed 'serpent DNA' to his children" abcnews.go.com/International/…
"U.S. authorities were able to track down Coleman's location in Rosarito, Mexico, on Sunday using the Find My iPhone app....They used the app again to find him at the U.S.-Mexico border Monday afternoon" where they arrested him.
Tragic timing. US authorities tracked him to Rosarito, Mexico on Sunday, using the iPhone location app on his phone. But on Monday morning at 2:54 a.m. local time, Coleman left the hotel with his children and returned at 6:33 a.m., allegedly after killing them.

French authorities conducted forensic inv of phone belonging to French journalist and found evidence of NSO's Pegasus spyware on it. The journo's phone # was on list that Pegasus Project obtained, but the phone had not previously been analyzed by Amnesty. lemonde.fr/projet-pegasus…
Correction: it appears what they found was evidence the phone had been targeted for Pegasus - presumably it received a txt msg. "We find in effect the same e-mail addresses attached to Apple accounts used by the attacking infrastructure of the NSO Group's Moroccan customer."
From translation of article: "These identifiers...were also found among other Pegasus Moroccan targets, notably Omar Radi, an imprisoned Moroccan journalist, Claude Mangin, a former Sahara militant who had also been imprisoned in Morocco"

Israel Defense Ministry *visited* office of NSO Group today - the maker of Pegasus. "Reps from a number of bodies came to NSO today to examine the publications and allegations raised in its case." I initially tweeted that it was a raid; but it appears media misreported that
NSO confirmed that government representatives visited its office today: “We welcome their inspection... We are confident that this inspection will prove the facts are as declared repeatedly by the company against the false allegations,” the company said in a statement.
Yediot Ahronot, one of Israel's largest newspapers, says the gov has launched an investigation into the allegations against NSO, and the visit at the company's office was pre-arranged with NSO. ynet.co.il/news/article/r…

Amnesty says the Israeli media mis-reported a statement it gave them in Hebrew about the list of 50,000 phone numbers. See here: thewire.in/tech/fact-chec…

But I obtained the full Hebrew statement they gave reporters, and the Israeli media quoted it correctly.
As I noted in tweet yesterday, Amnesty International's Israeli spokesman sent Hebrew statement to Israeli media saying "Amnesty has never presented this list as 'NSO's Pegasus Spyware List', although some of the world's media may have done so." That is in fact what statement said
The issue is Israeli media pulled quotes from lengthy Amnesty statement without context around the quotes, which gave better picture of what Amnesty was saying. My tweets quoted Israeli media report, which was all I could see. But now you can see Amnesty's entire statement.
