'I'm embarrassed listening to my party concoct the most outlandish theories (Chinese ballots!) to avoid accepting the reality: We lost the top two races in Arizona,' Republican official Stephen Richer wrote.

Two top election officials in Arizona each released prebuttal statements addressing the GOP-led "audit" of election results in the state's largest county days before a final report on the effort is expected to be released. Both criticized it as a partisan effort riddled with conflicts and errors.

Both Arizona's Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, a Republican, separately issued documents on Thursday seeking to get ahead of the expected report from Cyber Ninjas, the firm hired by Arizona's Republican Senate president, Karen Fann, to conduct the audit, which is led by a Trump supporter who promoted conspiracy theories about the election results. According to the Arizona Republic, Cyber Ninjas' report could come as early as Monday.

The report, issued from the Arizona Secretary of State's Office accuses Fann, who oversaw the audit for the Senate, of "embracing … conspiracy theories" and hiring a firm with no election experience to run the review, preemptively dismissing whatever report the company, Cyber Ninjas, releases as "invalid and unreliable for a number of reasons."

Karen Fann is still doing what she has been doing since day one ....she is making money off this BS...someone should ask her can we see your ballot....

2. I'm shocked that AZ hasn't introduced a plan to take over Maricopa elections

Like GA did with Fulton (Atlanta).

That strategy I think only works with R gov and legislature though, so WI, MI, and PA couldn't emulate--yet---becuase of D govs in those states.
