KEY POINTS:
• Canvassed results were accurate
• Fewer than 100 potentially questionable ballots cast out of 2.1 million
• No systemic issues; no races impacted
• @maricopavote followed all federal, state, and local laws https://t.co/he7gr1Il1u

THEIR SMOKING GUNS WERE FULL OF BLANKS:
• Cyber Ninjas made faulty or inaccurate claims about more than 53,000 ballots in 18 different categories
• CyFIR claims re: equipment were all inaccurate
• EchoMail claims re: early ballot images were all misleading https://t.co/eHbcyRQXVa

WE KEPT THE RECORDS:
@maricopavote cloned copies of the election server as it was when it was delivered to the Senate. Those clones, + security logs and surveillance footage, help disprove many of the outrageous claims made by Sen contractors, such as intentionally deleted files. https://t.co/XRmW7BehcM

WE WENT EVEN FURTHER:
As an added check, the County hired a third-party cyber security and incident response firm staffed by former FBI officials to provide independent analysis. Their findings affirmed the integrity of county personnel and processes. https://t.co/HmRZsup557

WE KNOW THE LAWS:
Elections are governed by federal and state election laws. Want to know why we do things a certain way? It’s in statute or the election procedures manual. Our report cites the laws we followed related to each claim made by Senate contractors. https://t.co/pINmrxClOT

BOTTOM LINE: The AZ Senate’s $9 million “forensic audit” proved only one thing--that hiring inexperienced partisans with no knowledge of election laws or procedures to analyze an election in the 2nd largest voting jurisdiction in America is a bad idea.
