AZ Sen. Wendy Rogers Lists Takeaways from AZ AUDIT Tour: “The Media have Served to Fragment and Erode Our Confidence”

I don't know if the Media can withstand much more loss of credibility. They should just stay out of these audits until the results are officially published.

What we've seen in the last year would have been absolutely unthinkable 20 years ago... no one would have accepted Big Media or Big Tech or anyone hiding and blocking stories from the public... or telling us what is "baseless" or "unfounded" or "no evidence"... They would have -- and should be -- finding the freaking evidence, asking hard questions and demanding hard answers, and so on and so forth.

They are counting on the young and the ignorant to keep this ruse going. It can only last so long, and they are quickly running out of time AND credibility -- in direct proportion to each other.

The truth has a mind and a will of its own.

General update here:

HUG E AZ AUDIT UPDATE: Audit Team Down to 15 Pallets of Ballots to Analyze! – Down from 28 Total Pallets JUST ONE WEEK AGO! (VIDEO)

They are still screening and accepting volunteers if anyone knows anyone who is interested: fundtheaudit.com/volunteer/

And the PA team will be touring tomorrow in preparation for their own (potential) audit:

On Wednesday, a PA Delegation consisting of State Senator Doug Mastriano, State Senator Cris Dush, and State Rep. Rob Kauffman will visit the AZ Capitol to meet with members of the AZ Legislature, and then tour the AZ Audit to receive a brief from the forensic audit team.

We're getting it done folks!

Beautiful glorious sunshine!!!

Arizona legislators deserve a medal of bravery. PA and GA each had 1 Republican legislator back out (intimidated or bribed) at the last minute when planning to submit a slate of Trump electors to Mike Pence for the Jan 6th vote. Each state had a one Republican legislator majority. One backing out made actions impossible. Democrats (crooked as they may be) stick together.

Hear! Hear!


And let's add the volunteers that have been lining up to get the job done, submitted to background checks for the honor, (many) using vacation time or otherwise spare time, and basically being freaking awesome patriots!

Let's also hope that it's far more contagious than Covid and spreads across the country, infecting patriots everywhere with the pride, courage and determination to get the job done in their own states.

The media hid stories from the public over past decades, but there was no way for an average reporter to get what he/she knows, out to the nation. Now, we have ordinary citizens reporting blockbuster news that reaches millions of citizens. ATS is one of those critical citizen outlets.

"ATS is one of those critical citizen outlets."


Could not agree more.


And one of the last still standing.

I definitely third that... and I've been thinking about that in terms of when the final report comes out, and if it can document and establish fraud/tampering/interference beyond any reasonable doubt. We know if it can't be blocked completely -- and I don't see how it could, but they'll try -- then it's going to be spun big time. Many people will need to be educated and informed and caught up to speed. And that's going to include ATS and those of us who have been paying attention. We're going to have to explain the facts, the history, the timeline -- all of it -- to those who need to know. And I really and truly hope we can do it in a way that unites rather than divides.

The following is purely speculation on my part, but presuming the worst...

My gut is telling me that if they have found actual criminal wrongdoing (like a deliberately deleted database?) that the perpetrators will be arrested before the final report is released. The Senate/auditors may be bluffing about how far along they are or how long until the report is released as well, to keep the guilty off guard. Or because they anticipate some kind of sabotage or legal action from the guilty at the last hour to prevent the release of the report, so they want to get the jump on them. Or they expect the guilty are making plans to flee at the last minute. Or lots of other things I'm not smart enough to think of.

The Senate promised this would not be used to undo the election results, but they made no such promises about prosecuting the guilty. And rightly so. How could they NOT arrest the guilty first? That could very well be why the Senate took away Hobbs' authority in any/all election related matters. Which also suggests that Hobbs may be one they have evidence of criminal conduct, but not necessarily. She's already shown her true colors, and she'll cover for the guilty even if she's not guilty. In any event, any such legal actions would be handled by Brnvich instead, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he's one of the good guys.

What kind of ripple effect would this have? In Georgia? Pennsylvania? Michigan? We know the calls for full forensic audits would then be deafening in at least a few states. Would the guilty in other states stick around to fight another day? Or would we see masses of election officials -- and elected officials -- fleeing to nations with no extradition treaty? Or perhaps other states also have enough evidence already to start arresting the guilty? Could the Senate/auditors already be filling other states in on how to document and prove criminal conduct?

Maybe I'm thinking too much.

Any and all -- How do YOU think this will play out? Is it reasonable to think that if they've found fraud/interference/tampering, that they've also found who did it? What else should I be asking myself and pondering???

I'd love to hear your thoughts too on what I posted above -- here -- if you're so inclined.

A couple others too, but I don't want to bug too many of you all! I hope those inclined to answer will see it and do so.

Calling out the Republicans who are just as complicit as Dems in the bad behavior. GOOD!!!

Sadly, I bet its a longer list than we like to think.

Its the most disturbing aspect of this, people dont want fair elections. Only 1 vote margin of victory in Arizona and none of this would even be happening, thats how thin we are now.

You're probably right about that. There are probably plenty -- like McConnell -- who know and are part and parcel of it all. They keep their mouth shuts because it gets them re-elected.

There are probably others -- on both sides -- who have no real loyalty to the party or the country, they just pick a party to run and take their marching orders from whoever's really running the show. And they're probably all over the world.

And this won't be popular with many, but I'm not sure Trump isn't one of them. Too much of what Trump did (and didn't do), just didn't make sense to me. Like appointing Bob Barr.

Isn't this special?

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs enters race for Arizona governor

Hobbs said in a statement she was running "to deliver transparency, accountability, and results for Arizonans" and would work as governor to "put aside our differences and work to solve the serious problems facing Arizona."

ROFLMAO!!! Too late, Katie. We've seen your true colors. Just no.

And then there's this, whic is a pleasant surprise. I'll vote for Kari:
Former FOX 10 anchor Kari Lake announces run for Arizona governor

She has publicly embraced conservative ideals, retweeting the account of the Arizona Senate’s unprecedented audit of former President Donald Trump’s loss in Arizona and other border states and tweeting about the lack of border security and mask mandates.

Kari was also in the news a couple years ago after a private conversation with her co-host was leaked:

On the video, posted by the website FTVLIVE, Hook says the station’s bosses worry about the bad press associated with Parler that might surface if the information were printed in, say, Phoenix New Times. “Jesus,” Lake says sneeringly. Adding, "F*** them. They're 20-year-old dopes. That's a rag for selling marijuana ads."

Kari Lake’s right-wing, F-bomb, anti-New Times rant will help her ratings

She was in the news again a couple months ago when she quit her job on air at the local Fox station after 22 years. I'll let her tell you herself:

Fulton County Investigating Alarm At Election Warehouse As Conspiracy Theories Grow

The Fulton County Sheriff's office is investigating why an alarm went off over the weekend at a warehouse that stores election equipment, the latest bizarre twist in an ongoing lawsuit seeking to prove thrice-counted absentee ballots were marred by fraud. But Fulton officials say the actual facility rooms that are holding ballots from November's presidential election is and has been secure. The investigation into what happened should be wrapping up soon — including a look at whether two off-duty officers hired as private security by plaintiffs in the suit were trespassing by entering the building.

There is much much more at the link, updated after a press conference. But it doesn't make much sense to me. Raises more questions than answers.

GA admits that warehouse was left unlocked for 24 hours!

Because an employee needed to use the bathroom!

And that the police officers assigned to protect the building had left!

But no problem with the thrice counted ballots because they insist that an inner door was still locked, and we should just believe the dems on that.





However, they ARE considering trespassing charges for the off duty police officer hired to guard ballots by republicans who pulled on the door handle to see if it was locked!

HUGE UPDATE From Arizona Audit Director Ken Bennett – ONLY 14 PALLETS ARE REMAINING – Out of 44 Pallets! — And There’s More! (VIDEO)

Ken Bennett: The best way for me to estimate the total is to count that we’re now down 14 pallets that haven’t been touched. When the county delivered the ballots on April 22nd, there were 46 pallets. Two of those were just test ballots and some others spoiled ballots and things like that, so pallets with ballots on them or about 44 and we’re now down to 14 so I think we’re quickly coming up on about 2/3 completed.

Bennett: Most pallets have 40 boxes on a pallet, some have 32, but most of them have 40 boxes and it varies but usually, a box has between 1200 and 1300 ballots in each box so a pallet usually has between 40 and 50,000 pallets or ballots on a pallet. Conradson: So you’re getting through probably one a day, would you say?

And a little more about the process:

Conradson: Alright and paper valuation, there’s a forensic scan of all of the ballots?

Bennett: Yeah see him they’ll scan the back of the ballot and then they’ll flip it over and scan the front of the ballot, then they’ll pass it to another person who puts it under the microscopic cameras that are looking at the alignment marks and also looking at the Oval in the presidential race to make sure that the Oval was filled in by human handheld device, not by a Xerox machine or something like that.
