From Bad to Worse in Arizona
The post election audit Clown Show of Maricopa County ballots has been a complete disaster from the first moment it was conceived. Ordered by Senate Republicans in March, said 60 day audit is now going on 6 months and has probably set the state GOP back, oh, say to the Reagan era. Everyone associated with the “audit” have made fools of themselves in front of the entire nation, and Trump has happily led them down this primrose path dropping hints of “they can’t believe what they’re finding” when in fact they’ve found nothing. In the process, God knows how much damage they’ve done, and the elections commission for the county has already said they’ll have to replace all the voting machines after they were compromised by the “auditors”.
To pour gasoline on the fire of incompetence, the report of the results of this months long fiasco has been once again delayed because…wait for it…the CEO of Cyber Ninjas and some of his key staff are “quite ill” with COVID. Dollar to a donut that none of these idiots were vaccinated because, well, they’re idiots, and Karen Fann, the Arizona Senate President didn’t answer the question if they had been vaccinated.
You just can’t make this up.
OMG. Trump was right for the first time in his life. They CAN’T believe what they’re finding! Because what they’ve found is — wait for it — nothing.
What a big surprise.
Not.
Not even to Trump who knew there was nothing to find all along. Logan may be surprised, but he’s the only one.
As to him and “3 other members” having Covid — I’ll believe it when I see the medical records. Otherwise, it looks like a very convenient excuse for not releasing the results which would reveal — NOTHING — even if they did know what they were doing. Which they don’t and never did.
1This is a dog-ate-my-homework level excuse.
“Fann said that she still expected to receive “a portion” of the draft report of the ballot review”.
Translation: they will release fragments which can be vaguely interpreted as “we found fraud!”. The same way that Barr stated the opposite of what the Mueller report concluded, these twerps will try to ooze past the lack of any evidence of vote fraud. E.g., “we found evidence of bamboo on the ballots” as if that is conclusive of Chinese meddling. Then months from now (or after the 2022 elections) the full report will have a footnote “the bamboo fibers were from the table where we had some Chinese take-out boxes”.
It’s obvious they have nothing, but MUST come up with a “report” which can be used to push the Big Lie. Doing that blatantly can lead to them being jailed, or worse yet, not paid for their ninja skills. By the time the CEO recovers from Covid and their full report comes out, it won’t matter. Fox News and lower dingleberries will have spent months blaring out “Vote fraud found in Arizona!” claims, and by then all the Cheeto Chimps will treat it as the absolute truth.
Of course, they may be delaying just long enough for Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas to hire the ninjas to do the same in their state. Once the contracts are signed, then it doesn’t matter to the Cyber NumbNuts what the Arizona report says.
2When did frivolous lawsuits become acceptable? Rudy and the rest of the ***king moron’s** thug brigade of frivolous whackjobs should still be incarcerated for contempt of court.
As for the NinjaPoops? Our courts are seriously collapsing under the weight of QOP appointed judges. Meanwhile Congress and state legislatures sit on their hands as to the actual voter fraud. FFS The “audit” by the NinjaPoops is so widely recognized as fraudulent that it has been called out as the Fraudit.
DOJ needs to step up with indictments to hold these brazen frauds accountable.

4Hey Trump! Today is August 24, the glorious Trump Reinstatement Day!! How’s it going so far???
5Slipstream @5, please let’s not encourage the Qcumbers. Unless of course we can encourage them to await under a piece of space debris descending on their location. Who knows? Maybe Bezos and Musk will accommodate.
Ironic. The second coming of the ***king moron** is something that none of his 3 wives ever experienced, yet the Qcumbers await. To be fair, no longer all of the Qcumbers. Some of them are disillusioned because Donnie** recommended vaccines at his recent Alabama super spreader event. The irony, it bleeds.
I have much for which to be thankful: my wife, our sons, our parents and grandparent plus our rural local that has been a real salvation riding out covid and the covidiots these past 18 months or more. And, praise the deities that I’m not prone to headaches because the Qcumbers and QOP sure could cause a migraine or more.
6Because facts don’t matter to the Qgop, I’m expecting a report that will say they found fraud, just trust us. There’s no way they’re going to say the audit verified that the results were as reported when the election was certified for Biden. That’s the beauty of today’s gop, they don’t have to tell the truth and people take their word for it. I’m expecting more “audits” to just keep the narrative going till the 2022 election.
7#7 maybe the gopers expect to be lied to, sort of like the NYMets were expected to be on the bottom at the end of the season?
8J7915- being a lifelong Dodgers fan, I was kind of hoping the Mets would put up a better fight against the Giants tonight. I’d rather talk about baseball than politics, but baseball unfortunately does not matter to our democracy.
9And, J7915, I have a lasting memory of the Mets and Dodgers. In 1988, I had tickets to one playoff game, Mets and Dodgers. I drove most of the night from Oregon to see the game with one of my employees, also a life long Dodgers fan. Unfortunately for us, it was the worst game the Dodgers played in the playoffs and they lost. Dang.
10Oh well, they did win the World Series, their last till the Covid World Series last year.
Like I said, I’d rather talk baseball.
Last night Rachel had a segment on this thing. Apparently before the news broke that 3 members of the 5 member Fiber Syringes team had Covid, nobody, but nobody knew there was more than one.
11Doug Logan.
Apparently he did have a mouse in his pocket.
4 of ’em.
So far.
Is the AZ GOP going to reimburse the state for screwing up all their voting machines? Cause they broke ’em, they should buy ’em.
12Jane&PKM: love it. I hereby propose that “NinjaPoops” now become their official title here at the Salon. At least, until J&PKM come up with something even better.
[I’m also jealous of Charles Pierce over at the Rolling Stone magazine. He’s got the wealth of Irish terms to draw upon: gobshites, omadhauns, gossons, thooleramawns, spalpeens.]
