Key points to AZ Senate:
• Routers: No means no.
• Passwords: Why demand passwords we don’t have for tabulators you’ve already returned?🤔
• Images: Can’t find what we provided in April? Check Ballot Pallet 46 or subfolder AFFIDAVITS on Lacie hard drive. Or the lab in Montana.
We are also concerned about the treatment of the materials already provided.

Since January, Maricopa County has provided 2.1 million paper ballots, 385 Election Day tabulators, 9 central count tabulators, and 8+ terabytes of data including tabulator logs, voter records, clones of servers & images of early ballot affidavits, and ballot images.
Despite not agreeing with the Senate leadership’s choice of contractor, we complied and cooperated with all demands that were safe for constituents and supported by law.
AZ Senate leadership turned all of these items over to Cyber Ninjas & others, "enabling and enriching unvetted, unqualified, private companies with known biases who never should have touched federally-certified elections equipment or the people’s ballots." content.govdelivery.com/accounts/AZMAR…

Claims that Maricopa County is not cooperating with Senate contractors assume that partnering with unqualified contractors with ties to the "Stop the Steal" movement is in the best interest of the County and its voters. This is not the case.
The 2020 General Election has been audited, certified, litigated, and found to be safe, secure, and accurate.

Board members supported post-election audits by qualified, experienced firms and voted to conduct two such independent audits.
Arizona Senate leadership chose not to hire qualified, experienced firms. Instead, they picked Cyber Ninjas, a small cybersecurity company with no expertise or experience auditing elections.

NEW: AZ Senate leadership hired unqualified auditors with a lack of election knowledge & a wealth of political bias. The claims these contractors advanced in yesterday’s briefing to senators enabling & enriching them were not based in fact. We refute more claims below 🧵
CLAIM: 74,000 more mail-in ballots were counted in Nov. 2020 than were sent.

FACTS: @MaricopaVote calculated the true number of requests and returns:
REQUESTS = 2,364,426
RETURNS = 1,918,024
So the claim is not just wrong but completely wrong. We don't know where Cyber Ninjas came up with that idea or number. Maricopa County provided additional details in the tweet below.

More fact checking from today’s Senate briefing on #AZAudit
🧵⬇️
CLAIM: Maricopa County received 74,000 more mail-in ballots than we sent.

FACTS: In Maricopa County, we allow people to vote early in two ways: 1) by mail and 2) in-person at Vote Centers. These are all considered early votes.
The people who vote in-person use ballots provided at a Vote Center. This is not a new practice, so it's not unusual that we would have more early votes than mail-in ballots sent.

A few comments as we follow along with the Senate “hearing” (featuring 2 senators out of 30) about the “audit” (featuring the guy who cites his Antrim County work as a positive qualification):
If you didn’t subpoena it, there’s a reason you don’t have it.
The federal EAC says uncertified people cannot handle certified election equipment. The people testifying are uncertified. Always have been. This cannot be glossed over.

Great moments in election auditing history🧵👇
That time we first heard our ballots could be made of bamboo:
That time the lazy susan used to count ballots should have been a little lazier:
