Arizona Audit Update: GOP Chair Kelli Ward Says Ballot Count May Be Completed By JUNE 14th, THE PRESIDENT’S BIRTHDAY

The Arizona Republican Party tweeted out an Arizona audit update by AZGOP Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward on Thursday evening. 

This update reminds us that this is a very comprehensive full forensic audit, the first of its kind, and how secure this process is.

Kelli Ward: Hello everyone. Welcome to America’s audit update from the Republican Party of Arizona. I’m your Chairwoman, Dr. Kelli Ward.

Exciting news today. I want to share with you my firsthand experience touring the site of operations for the full forensic audit of the 2020 election ballots in Maricopa County, as you’ve heard here in prior updates, individuals and elected representatives from many states are touring the audit, and are looking at the possibility of taking Arizona’s lead and auditing their own election results.

My tour, including an in depth briefing from the auditing team as to their progress to date, and a close up tour of the facilities, was simply amazing. I can report firsthand that America’s audit is in great shape, and the process is proceeding efficiently and quickly.

Now let’s be clear, this is no ordinary take a ballot and run it through the same machine again audit. what the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors wants to call an audit. This is a comprehensive forensic audit, that’s looking at last November’s election from every conceivable perspective, a full hands on evaluation and handcount, and additional evaluation using the latest technology available.

In fact, it was great to see the impressive, impressive organization of the audit. When I was there, less than three pallets of November ballots remained to be hand counted. The next phase will be to convert many of the hand counting stations to digital imaging stations that conversion process actually has already begun.

They expect that the actual ballot counting will be completed in the very near future, maybe even by June 14th, the President’s birthday.

Although there are many duplicated ballots that have yet to be evaluated, The high tech imaging process is really impressive, and it’s going to take some additional time to do it and to do it right. The imaging looks at the paper being used for the ballots and identifying it.

They also look at the actual alignment of the printing of the ballots from the front to the back to see if there are any discrepancies or errors, and they even go so far as to evaluate the little oval, that’s filled in by voters to see how it was done.

Security is rigorous, it is rigorous, to the extent that the entire time that I, and my husband Mike were in the building, there was always a security person, accompanying us. Outside the Coliseum, The Arizona Rangers are providing around the clock security and limiting access to only those who are approved to enter the facility.

Chain of Custody is a priority. Okay, not like when they were at the Maricopa County tabulation center. Every time a box of ballots is moved, It’s recorded on the Chain of Custody documents, and there is armed security overseeing everything, there all the time.

America’s audit is in great hands. In fact, the audit is everything that the Democrats say it’s not. It’s professional, It’s secure, It’s efficient, it’s state of the art, and it is completely nonpartisan. More importantly, it is 100% transparent.

Thank you for tuning in, and I’m going to see you at our next update.”

Seven states have now completed a walkthrough and on Friday, NINE STATES will receive a tour of the process.

Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona's elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America's fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
