Judge rules Maricopa County must provide 2020 ballots to Arizona Senate for audit under subpoenas

[TexasTowelie]

Maricopa County will turn over ballots from the November general election to the Arizona Senate and provide the Senate access to its voting machines so it can conduct an audit, after a judge's ruling Friday.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason said that the subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate are valid. He said he disagreed with the county's arguments that they were unlawful and that the county legally could not hand over the ballots.

In response, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers said in a statement Friday afternoon that the county "will immediately start working to provide the Arizona Senate with the ballots and other materials."

"We hope senators will show the same respect and care we have for the 2.1 million private ballots and use them in service of their legislative duties," Sellers said.

3. Why aren't they appealing to the state supreme court?

Voters should file class action for an immediate injunction. This is insane.

4. "We hope senators will show the same respect and care we have for the 2.1 million private ballots."

"We hope"?! What assurance will the voters in Arizona have that some of those ballots won't mysteriously disappear and presto chango, Trump won Arizona after all?

6. All these Republicans have lost their minds!

Seems they believe in total lies. They need intervention of some kind.
