How and why do these people in AZ have access to ballots 6 months after an election???

Thank you.

1. Same way people had access to the ballots after the 2000 Election...

They become archival records, available for research.

5. Judicial Watch had the 2000 ballots stored in their offices.

And yes, I was a witness to that

2. most republicans are evil and the evil repubs in AZ decided they have the power to make up crap

and apparently they do.

The goal is for as many people as possible to not trust elections.

Oh and former president efwad is about to hold his klan rallies to support repubs running in 2022.

Brainwashing continues.

3. The state senate subpoenaed them

and chose these people to do the audit.

4. AZ has a corrupt fascist state legislature that is owned and operated by ALEC.

They hate democracy with a passion and will do everything in their power to end democracy in the US forever.

6. I would think that the auditor RWers . . .

would have sense enough not to alter, change or destroy the ballots, but alas, I would not put it pass them. I'm pretty sure they have state records of who voted in the 2020 presidential elections, if need be, the voters will have the last word in Mariposa County.

7. When Are They Going To Release The Results Of This Recount?.....

I'm thinking tonight just before Biden's speech. What a better way for them to cap off Biden's first 100 days in office than to discredit his winning the 2020 election and claiming fraud.

They believe that it would take the wind out of the sails of Biden's first 100 days and it would plant additional doubt in the minds of the MAGA group that the 'Big Lie' is real.

I'm waiting for some big announcement by those people in AZ - before tonight's big speech.

We got to realize that they didn't start this recount exercise to just confirm Biden's win. We got to realize that the way they structured this recount - the company doing the recount; the secrecy around it; etc - was designed to mold the results to be able to claim that there was funny stuff going on with the votes back in November.

This is part of their plan.

8. They have barely started

They won’t be disrupting Biden’s speech.

10. As of yesterday they'd counted 100K of 2.1 Million

They started on Friday (and started late because of the bullshit w/ the blue pens they needed to gather back up), and it was on hold over the weekend due to legal questions. They are supposed to be finished by May 14, but its unclear if they'll make it - the commenter I saw said they needed to be doing about 3-4 times the volume they are doing in order to meet that date.. And there is another hearing today (I think) that could slow it down further.

This whole thing is a farce. And it seems the more national attention it gets, the takes get wilder.
