Opinion: Arizona’s never-ending election audit now enters what surely should be its final phase. Here’s why this is a total waste of time … and our money.
By Laurie Roberts | Arizona Republic
The Great Arizona Hunt for Election Fraud continues as a special master and three – count ‘em, three – IT experts from across the nation gear up to examine Maricopa County’s election equipment.
Yeah, I know. You thought the audit of the 2020 election was over, that it ended in September when the Senate’s own Trump supporting auditors could find no evidence of widespread fraud.
O ye, of far too much faith that, at some point, sanity will sink in.
That the state Senate’s Trump contingent will accept the fact that their guy lost, freeing us poor taxpayers from having to continue shelling out money to chase a conspiracy that doesn’t – and didn’t – exist.
They won’t and so we will. Open our wallets wide once again, that is.
Another audit for an already answered question
This time for a special master and three IT experts to answer the already answered question:
Was the county’s election management system hooked up to the internet and thus vulnerable to Chinese (or maybe Venezuelan?) hackers who, as the conspiracy theory goes, switched thousands of Donald Trump votes to Joe Biden?
The county has long said the equipment wasn’t connected to the internet.
