the audit, which started April 23<strong>\u00a0after the Senate won a legal battle with Maricopa County for access to election equipment and approximately 2.1 million ballots from the November 2020 general election in metro Phoenix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fann told\u00a0<em>KTAR News 92.3 FM\u2019s The Mike Broomhead Show<\/em>\u00a0on Tuesday that the number ballots tallied during the audit didn\u2019t match the total documented by Maricopa County, but she didn\u2019t know how far off the counts were.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most audit operations have wrapped up, but counting machines are being used to recheck of the total number of ballots, a process that was expected to continue into next week.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Audit officials have said a final report was expected to be released in late July or August.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee sent Logan a letter Wednesday requesting documentation about Cyber Ninjas\u2019 role in the audit, funding and possible connections to former President Donald Trump or his surrogates.<\/p>\n<p>Cyber Ninjas had no previous experience conducting election audits. Fann\u2019s selection of the Florida-based firm\u2019s $150,000 bid quickly drew scrutiny over Logan\u2019s deleted Twitter account, which had activity supporting unfounded election conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<p>The low bid doesn\u2019t cover the cost of the operation, expected to be in the millions, and fundraising has been taking place in the name of the audit.<\/p>\n<p>Fann has said the aim of the process is to restore faith in the election system and find ways to improve Arizona\u2019s voting laws, not to reverse the result of the election.<\/p>\n<p>However, many Trump supporters see it as a step toward invalidating President Joe Biden\u2019s victory and returning Trump to office.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/watch-live-arizona-senate-briefing-election-audit\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/watch-live-arizona-senate-briefing-election-audit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona Election Audit: Maricopa County Stonewalling &#8211; Will Not Turn Over Routers, Chain Of Custody, Ballot Images As Discrepancies Found<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74186\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
