Can the "ballot audit" in Arizona get any crazier? Bamboo ballots from Asia . . . .

[AverageOldGuy]

Now we learn that the "ballot auditors" in Arizona are checking the ballots for traces of bamboo because they learned that 40,000 ballots were smuggled in from Asia.

This is NOT a joke. And, no, I have not been drinking, though I probably will after having read this.

REPORTER: “The other day at the press conference you were talking about bamboo. What was that all about?”

JOHN BRAKEY OF AUDIT ELECTIONS USA: “Well, there’s accusations that 40,000 ballots were flown in … to Arizona and it was stuffed into the box. And it came from the southeast part of the world—Asia, okay? And what they’re doing is to find out if there’s bamboo in the paper. That camera right there, if they take a picture of the ballot they can really look at depth and find out is it a hand-marked paper ballot, because it’s a 5K camera. You can see the folds in the ballot because 92% of all the ballots here should have been folded, because they came in through an envelope. So they’re doing all sorts of testing to prove if it was or wasn’t, and that’s very important, because the only way you’re going to persuade people on changing is having facts, and we’re on a mission for facts. And I’m AUDIT Elections USA, and what we do is not about the right or left. AUDIT is an acronym—it stands for Americans United for Democracy, Integrity, and Transparency in Elections. We’ve been around 17 years.”

7. That shows they don't understand how elections are conducted.

Thinking that they can smuggle in fake ballots that would be identical to the ballots used in Arizona would take a huge undertaking. They couldn't just use the same layout for all 40,000 ballots. I'm going to say that there is no state that would have 40,000 identical ballots. There are multiple elections that are on the ballot and their jurisdiction cross boundaries.

8. not just that. it would not match with the voter lists

The discrepancy would have been obvious when they started counting. Any ballot that goes in comes from somebody who either voted in person and was marked as such by the poll workers or returned it by mail and there again, it was from the list of valid voters. Its amazing how stupid people are if they cant see how thisc scheme is completely unrealistic.
