Chairman @jacksellers: "As Chairman of this Board, I just want to make it clear I will not be responding to any more requests from this sham process. Finish what you're calling an audit and be ready to defend your report in a court of law."

1. Letter Board sent to the Senate

https://www.maricopa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/68972/20210517-Response-Letter-to-Senate-President-Fann---FINAL

[MerryHolidays]

2. Heaven forbid!

The letter is detailed, precise, and full of facts.

But I am sure the "auditors" and their supporters will focus on the fact that a fellow named "Bill Gates" is one of the signatories.....it's a CONSPIRACY, I TELL 'YA!!!!! ( )

[11 Bravo]

3. Now THAT is an exquisitely eloquent "FUCK YOU!"

[Volaris]

29. Ya thems fightin words lol!

[AZ8theist]

10. WOW!!!HOLY EFFIN OVERSIGHT, BATMAN!!!

I just read that letter start to finish, and if that doesn't expose the utter IDIOCY of this so-called "audit", nothing will.

Cyber Scumbags and the Arizona Repuke Party are a complete fucking joke.

They are made out to be complete fucking fools, point by point. No wonder, their "god", Benedict Dotard is crowing about this: it's a COMPLETE LIE and SCAM. The exact ideals he has lived his entire despicable life by....

[cab67]

11. That's a textbook bitch-slap.

[lastlib]

15. This deserves a thread of its own!

[Nevilledog]

21. Just posted it.

[ffr]

16. "You have rented out the once good name of the Arizona State Senate to grifters and con-artists,"

... who are fundraising hard-earned money from our fellow citizens even as your contractors parade around the Coliseum, hunting or bamboo and something they call “kinematic artifacts” while shining purple lights for effect....

23. I urge anyone interested to read it.

Very enlightening

[Pacifist Patriot]

28. I don't think I have ever read anything like it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. Wow!!!!!!

[lame54]

38. Link is a download

[Nevilledog]

39. It's a direct link to the letter at the Maricopa gov site

[lame54]

40. And now it's on my phone

[Unwind Your Mind]

47. I can't get it to save or send to my uncle in Phoenix

Is it just me?

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. I found the salutation to be quite ironic.

"The Honorable Karen Fann"

Oh, really?


I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall when she opened that letter...and then when she shared the contents with whoever she felt wouldn't mock her for years to come.

[Iggo]

51. Oh, that was goooood!

[SKKY]

54. There is a huge problem with this letter...

It contains facts. And when you talk about how SQL services act when a server is shut down, or metadata, well, let's be honest you lose a lot of people. The kind of people what watch Fox, Newsmax, and OANN. Bamboo fibers in ballots are easier to understand than fairly complex IT technology. The Tweet that read, and I'm paraphrasing, "Finish your audit, and be prepared to defend it in court." Now THAT'S the message we need to send.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Every last AZ Senator who voted to allow this should be facing criminal charges ... period (nt)

[malaise]

5. M$Greedia has done all a disservice by calling it an audit

Words have meaning - that is all

[Caliman73]

7. 100% agreed!

This was never an audit. It was another attempt to muddy the waters and keep the false narrative of the "stolen" election going. When the media uses right wing framing, it gives their stupidity some legitimacy. At very least they should have put, "so called" in front of the phrase, at very least.

[malaise]

17. A bunch of fascist clowns parading as auditors

These fools know nothing about auditing - M$Greedia is responsible for a lot of this shit.

18. A bunch of fascist clowns parading as auditors

6. Fake audit by a fake political party. NT

[ShazzieB]

35. Being conducted by inept buffoons who have no idea what they're doing! 🤣

[Baked Potato]

41. Yep!

[machoneman]

8. Wow, rantings of a 'petulant child". Man, gotta love the drafters of this missive. It is a CLASSIC!

Geez, Louise talk about burying the burying the hatchet!

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. Yes. Right to the handle.

Smashing ribs, severing veins and arteries and very close to ending life. A truly hatchet-burying exercise!

[Skittles]

9. good

reminds me when Hawaii officials stopped responding to inquiries regarding Obama's birth certificate. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

[NCjack]

12. Maybe criminal charges against Fr-auditers.

[COL Mustard]

25. I Love The Term "Frauditors"

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. As do I!

Well done!!!

[lindysalsagal]

13. Love it.

[niyad]

14. I love it!

20. Great letter. Snarky as hell calling out these ignorant ass-holes.

[liberalla]

22. Finally! Thank you! I can't believe it went on as long as it did!

BRAVO!!! Yay Jack Sellers!

[COL Mustard]

24. Isn't He A Republican?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

[Nevilledog]

26. He's a Republican

[sdfernando]

30. Damn!!!!

That was a JOY to read!

[Jon King]

31. Let them put out report then election Chairman should sue them for slander.

Like she said, bring your fake audit into court. Its not going to change one mind either way. Just ignore it publically, let them put out their fake findings, then the election board Chairman should sue them for slander and force them into court. They will be made fools of like the other 60 times.

[Olafjoy]

32. That was frigging fabulous!

Frauditors? Bless their hearts!!

[ShazzieB]

33. I haven't had time to read the letter yet, but what I've read, I love!

I love the way this letter pulls absolutely no punches and tells the perpetrators of this clown show (as Rachel Maddow has been calling it) exactly how ridiculous the whole thing is.

The final paragraph is a masterpiece in itself:

"It is time to end this. For the good of the Senate, for the good of the Country
and for the good of the Democratic institutions that define us as Americans."

BOOM!

[Hekate]

34. That letter is as impressive as hell. Enough is enough! nt

37. That letter was absolutely beautiful!

Well worth the time to read it completely. It totally dismantles all of the reich-wing 'Qonspiracy' theories with facts, making lucid explanations on every point. It goes into detailed explanations (in short, easy to read words, for the frauditors benefit) of how the process works and how the people involved are in completely over their heads and in no way qualified to 'audit' a Monopoly game, much less an election.

Should be distributed far and wide.

I'm hoping that some of the people I served with and once regarded as highly intelligent and extremely logical people before they fall into tRump's MAGA-world rabbit hole will read it and have their eyes opened, at least a little bit.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. Now it's time to say: 'enough is enough.' It is time to push back on the big lie."

[Takket]

46. i read the whole thing...

like a good book, i couldn't put it down. it is an absolutely excellent fact based response while at the same time necessarily pointing out how amateurish and politically motivated this entire process is.

The author likens what is happening in the "audit" to someone that has used Windows waltzing into Microsoft world HQ and demanding to know how they write code without having any knowledge at all of how these procedures work.

And drumpf voters still stupidly believe with all these security procedures in place that people can just dump a thousand photocopied ballots from China drop box and expect them to be counted.

[jmowreader]

48. Some major slams in this thing

From pages 10 to 11:

"Your chosen 'auditors,' the Cyber Ninjas, are certainly many things. But 'accredited by the EAC' is not one of them. Regardless, we cannot give you a password that we do not possess any more than we can give you the formula for Coca Cola."

[DiamondShark]

49. Yeah...

Yeah, they are hiding the formula for Coca Cola. I knew it!

[JohnnyRingo]

50. Bet they didn't see this coming.

Quick Donald Trump... come up with a snappy nickname for them.

[liberalmediaaddict]

52. That letter is perfect

I admire our election officials more and more for standing up to this Big Lie insanity. The letter is detailed and backed up with facts and I guarantee Trump, the Cyber Ninjas and the MAGA morons in the AZ Senate won't understand or believe a word of it even if they actually bother to read it.

[Wild blueberry]

53. Great letter

As a poll worker and chief election inspector for our small town, I cannot imagine handing out ballots like the AZ Senate did. Isn't that illegal, as a violation of election law? They should also be indicted, as should the judge who said Let 'er rip.

[liberalla]

55. Really enjoyed this thread. Very entertaining. Thank you Chairman Sellers!

Definitely a KEEPER!
