A thread of Doug Logan's #azaudit presentation. It will include live tweets and fact checks when I have them.
Let's do this thing.
He starts with a description of the audit's chain of custody as well as ballot handling.
"All counters were Maricopa residents who voted in the last election."
He's owning the Cyber Ninjas font. That's cool
current status, it's not done yet.
He's now at ballots & tallying. This is a table (not sure if example or total) of duplicates with incorrect or missing serial numbers. He said they were able to match them up, but it was a painstaking process.
Logan said that 50 ballots were run through the tabulator twice. He attributes it to possible human error since it was such a small number.
He also says that several UOCAVA ballots were counted twice. Here is his example. Attributes to human error.
This is incorrect.
EV32 stops on 10/25, EV33 stops on election day. There will always be a gap.

To me the saddest thing about today is that nearly all the findings presented were more about ignorance on how elections and election systems work.
There is a lot of work to do in this space to educate people.
I don't even have a problem on its face with a voter analysis using something like Melissa data. But it needs to be done with the centralized system that includes date of birth and other data that would provide a harder match.
Then you wouldn't run into the problem that they're having of analyzing different files from different counties that were processed at different times.
.@abc15 obtained what is purported to be a draft copy of the #azaudit report from multiple independent sources.
The draft finds that the forensic hand count was not substantially different than the official results. abc15.com/news/region-ph…
@abc15 The draft report alleges multiple inconsistencies in Maricopa county's voter registration were found when the files were bounced off of commercial data warehouses.
It also lists multiple areas in which election logs and data were removed from the EMS server prior to the start of the audit. The county maintains that the equipment was handed off with no changes made.
*all numbers are estimates using GIS union algorithm.
Ballot styles are what we refer to the different versions of the ballot. Every ballot has multiple races on it with different contests for different areas.
Maricopa would have 1 ballot style without cds, lds, cities, schools, etc...
At this point printing bamboo ballots would be pretty simple. Since everyone gets one ballot you can just load up on one style. Let's add congress.
Report starts with "Number of disputed ballots." Disputed by whom? There has been a ton of unsubstantiated speculation in this area with literally zero empirical evidence brought forth by those claiming disputed ballots.

Non-Citizen voters:
Keshel claims to have a survey of voters by Trump's legal team for the estimate of 36k to 237k non-citizens (that MoE).
They then go after the "fed-only" which was .4% of cast ballots in Maricopa (8,114). Here's how they broke
