Arizona's ballots have been counted before and
certified by the Republican governor. Much of the country has moved on, and yet Republicans are searching for evidence to support claims they already believe.
The 2.1 million ballots were already counted by Maricopa County election officials in November, validated in a partial hand recount and certified by Gov. Doug Ducey. Two extra audits confirmed no issues. No evidence of fraud sufficient to invalidate Joe Biden’s narrow victory in Arizona and Maricopa County has been found.
Despite their obvious partisan biases, the current auditors insist they can be trusted because they’re running an independent and transparent operation. Yet they’re recruiting from right-wing groups. They tried to block media access. They fought in court to not disclose written procedures they’re using to count votes and keep ballots secure. They lost.
The legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election is being tested at the aging Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, which once played host to NBA games, roller derby and wrestling matches.
