Arizona Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Update
Maricopa County Board Demands End To Audit, Blames Audit Team For 'Deleted Files' Will Not Comply With Subpoenas
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is now demanding that the Arizona State Senate put an immediate stop to the forensic audit of the 2020 election.
This after the County Recorder, Stephen Richer, spoke in front of the board during an emergency meeting and addressed the legislative inquiries and requests made for state subpoenaed materials.
Richer wrote a letter to the Arizona State Senate outlining his responses to questions and allegations made by Senate President Karen Fann.
In the letter Richer asserted that county officials did not delete the database directory from the D drive even though he could not explain what the red 'X' was that was found next to numerous files saying,
"We cannot say for certain what that mark indicates other than that it likely indicates that R studio was unable to locate the files."
He goes on to blame 'auditors' for moving or deleting the data.
The letter goes on to say that chain of custody documentation was indeed provided for the ballots and outlines the process used to deliver ballots to the auditors from the tabulation center.
Richer, however, did not address chain of custody documentation on how the ballots arrived at the tabulation center from different polling stations or drop off locations around the county back in November of 2020.
He finished by stating the Board of Supervisors will not attend a meeting with the State Senate, will not comply with legislative subpoena's, and will not answer any more questions.
The final page focused on their demand that the senate put an end to the audit.
Arizona Republican Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward said that the Board of Supervisors is in direct violation of the Arizona Senate's authority and the Arizona courts which upheld the subpoena's, and the decision to conduct the audit.
