On Friday, the County provided real-time responses to many of the allegations made by the Senateโ€™s contractors. This technical report will provide a deeper dive into the County's early ballot and tabulation processes.

It will also include election staffโ€™s research into the actual voter IDs included in the Senateโ€™s review. The Countyโ€™s technical response will address many of the "anomalies" that stumped the Senate's contractors but appear not to have been fully investigated by their team.

NEW: Hereโ€™s round two of our #FactCheck on several of the claims Cyber Ninjas identified as the most serious in their report: ๐Ÿงต
CLAIM: Election management database purged

BOTTOM LINE: This is misleading. Nothing was purged. Cyber Ninjas donโ€™t understand the business of elections. We can't keep everything on the EMS server because it has storage limits.
We have data archival procedures for our elections and @MaricopaVote archived everything related to the November election on backup drives. So everything still exists.

EXPLANATION: The Election Management System (EMS) database does not store election information forever.

NEW: After a preliminary review of the draft #azaudit report, we can provide a #FactCheck on several of the claims Cyber Ninjas identified as the most serious in their report:
๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ
CLAIM: 23,344 mail-in ballots voted from a prior address.

BOTTOM LINE: Cyber Ninjas still donโ€™t understand this is legal under federal election law. To label it a โ€œcriticalโ€ concern is either intentionally misleading or staggeringly ignorant. AZ senators should know this too.
EXPLANATION:
1) Military and overseas voters can cast a โ€œfederal only ballotโ€ despite living outside the U.S. The address tied to their ballot would be their prior address in AZ.

DID YOU KNOW? A survey of more than 75,000 voters conducted by @maricopavote and @recordersoffice following the November 2020 General Election found widespread satisfaction and trust in the system.
maricopa.gov/DocumentCenterโ€ฆ
CHECKS AND BALANCES: In each of the three hand counts performed during 2020, the Republican, Democrat, and Libertarian appointees found a 100% match to the tabulation equipment results.
A hand count audit following the Nov. election included a random & statistically significant sampling of both mail and Election Day ballots, verifying over 47,000 contests. State-required equipment tests & our 2 independent audits confirmed no vote switching or hacking occurred.

A thread about election audits ahead of the Senate hearing today:
๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ
Good audits built trust. B/c they are conducted by experienced professionals who use well-defined, proven processes which produce reproducible results, good election audits provide quantifiable proof that that reported results match the canvass. Board members support good audits.
Regardless of what ends up in the final report, what Cyber Ninjas & co. conducted was not a good audit. It did not build trust.

NEW: Board votes to approve an agreement with the AZ Senate that keeps county routers & other sensitive materials out of the hands of Cyber Ninjas. The agreement also protects taxpayers and ends a legal dispute over the Senateโ€™s ongoing election review.
Per Chairman @jacksellers: "The Cyber Ninjas will never be able to touch the routers or access our data. An independent third party can confirm what we've always said: the election equipment was not connected to the internet and no vote switching occurred.
And our residents, law enforcement, and courts can all rest assured that their data and equipment are protected.โ€
