*snarf* AZ Sen. Wendy Rogers cues up the crazy (again) with her latest call to decertify [View all]
the election
Sept. 22, 2021
Opinion: The audit isn't out yet and already Sen. Wendy Rogers is calling for Arizona's election to be decertified. Curiously, she declines to cite a law that would allow her to void our vote
snip---
Quoting no less than John F. Kennedy, the letter calls on the Arizona Senate to take action based on the not-yet released results of an audit conducted and paid for by the Trump conspiracy crowd.
And it implores senators to consider the laughable conclusions of a door-to-door canvass that produced not one shred of actual evidence of fraud.
And to consider the scientific stylings of famed CueCat inventor/treasure hunter Jovan Hutton Pulitzerand his “kinematic artifact detection,” which isn’t actually a real thing.

Rogers and Karen Fann are bat dung outhouse rat squirrels in the head unhinged. They should be severely punished for their deranged stupid. Now, the GOP AZ State Government chapter of QAnon crazy is going to waste even more taxpayer money trying to prove that the earth is flat.
Arizona Taxpayers Forced To Pay For Voting Machines Ruined by GOP ‘Audit’
Karen Fann, president of the GOP-led state Senate, called the decision to place the burden on taxpayers a ‘win.’
snip----
However, the Arizona Republic reported that Maricopa County reached a deal on Friday that would let the GOP lawmakers off the hook for the millions in damages. As part of the deal, Maricopa County will pay the costs of replacing the voting machines from its taxpayer-funded budget — despite the Senate’s indemnification agreement that promised taxpayers wouldn’t foot the bill for any costs stemming from the audit effort.
In return for dropping the costs, Arizona’s Republican attorney general backed off his own threat to withhold $700 million in annual state funding to the county — or nearly half of its operating budget — because Maricopa County had not complied with one of numerous subpoena demands. Republicans in the Arizona Senate had subpoenaed routers from the county as part of their audit, but the county refused to turn them over, saying it could pose a security risk, according to the Arizona Republic’s report.
Now, despite dropping its demand that the Senate pay for the ruined voting machines, Maricopa County will still have to answer questions about the routers, the Arizona Republic reported. But the Senate agreed to have the review done by former Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) rather than by Cyber Ninjas, the firm that conducted the audit and is run by an avid Donald Trump supporter who has promoted lies about election fraud.
