The Arizona Republican party is about to do a hand recount of some of the results of last years Presidential election. Not the state, or an unbiased third party but the Republican party. They have hired a company whose owner is a frequent guest on Sean Hannity and other rightwing radio stations and he has said he intends to find fraud There are no controls in place and literally nothing to stop them from adding new ballots or not counting whatever they want.
It's unofficial. Nothing they find or create will change the outcome but expect a lot of noise about it.
The people doing the counting are employees of his company, have had no training by Arizona election people, and have not been asked to take the usual oaths associated with counting ballots.
It would be a sad joke except some people truly think this is the first step to bringing trump back to power.
Reporters will not be allowed to observe in the traditional sense but it is okay. The Republican lead Arizona Senate has appointed One America News, the small cable outfit that still refers to trump as the President to represent the media as the only official news outlet allowed to cover the event live.
The company, Cyber Ninjas, says part of the audit may include sending teams out to peoples address's to verify if voters actually live where they registered. The company's owner said that trump won by at least 200,000 votes and he promises to find them.
