I could definitely see them freaking out because they haven't been able to find anything that proves what they wanted to prove and stalling for more time.

I could also easily imagine a bunch of those unvaccinated covidiots coming down with Delta.

They've been putting things off as much as they can, and I think it's because even they can't rig the numbers so it's not blaringly obvious, and they're hoping for some sort of Hail Mary to pull their asses out of the fire. I wouldn't doubt if this is more of the same. At some point, if this isn't it, the last delay will be so Doug can do whatever he needs to to protect himself legally, etc.

Long story short, it's about the painter Margaret Keene and her husband Walter Keene.

Margaret was a talented artist, but Walter was able to basically gaslight her and everybody else into thinking that he actually was the person painting her portraits.

Eventually Margaret sues Walter for libel and the rights to the paintings, and there's a courtroom scene where both her and Walter are asked to paint the same picture.

Margaret paints her painting perfectly.

But when Walter gets up, he suddenly claims he has a cramp in his hand and can't paint.

Needless to say, Margaret wins the case.

Same thing here.

Arizona's sham election 'audit' report delayed after Cyber Ninjas CEO and others test positive for Covid-19


By Eric Bradner and Stephanie Becker, CNN
Updated 5:52 PM ET, Mon August 23, 2021


(CNN) The report detailing the findings of contractors who conducted Arizona's sham "audit" of last year's election results -- which had been expected Monday -- will be late because three of the five members of the auditing team have tested positive for coronavirus, the state's Republican Senate leader says. Cyber Ninjas Chief Executive Officer Doug Logan, whose firm was hired by the Republican-led Arizona Senate to audit the 2.1 million votes cast in Maricopa County in 2020's presidential race, and two other members of the five-person audit team tested positive "and are quite sick," Senate President Karen Fann said in a statement. Logan and other members of his team were often seen during the recount process without masks. It is not clear whether those who tested positive had been vaccinated. CNN reached out to Cyber Ninjas requesting comment.

Elections experts in both parties have said for months that results of the "audit" -- pushed for by Republican lawmakers and conducted by the Florida-based company, which had no experience auditing election results and whose chief executive, Logan, has repeated wild conspiracy theories about election fraud -- will not be credible. Fann said senators are receiving "a portion of the draft report" Monday but did not detail which portion and what will be left out. Fann also said senators want the envelopes that contained ballots mailed in last year included in the final report -- but got the images of those envelopes from Maricopa County too late.

"In addition to the illnesses, it wasn't until Thursday that the Senate received the images of the ballot envelopes from Maricopa County and are hoping to have those analyzed as soon as possible to incorporate those results into the final report," Fann said in a statement. "The Senate legal team will meet Wednesday to start reviewing the draft report, and when the remainder of the draft is submitted, the Senate team will hold another meeting to continue checking for accuracy, clarity, and proof of documentation of findings. Once that is complete, the final report will be presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee and findings released to the public."

Last week, Maricopa County officials said they'd already sent the images to the Cyber Ninjas review team in the past and were simply resending them. Randy Pullen, a spokesman for the Senate-sponsored audit, told CNN that the ballot images would not be handled by Cyber Ninjas. The report was due to the Senate -- but it could be weeks or months before its results are revealed to the public. Fann and a team selected by Senate Republicans planned to review the report.
