Arizona’s 2020 Presidential Election: The Overdue Truth About Audits and Ballot Counts
The recent and sometimes heated debate over Arizona’s 2020 presidential election has garnered significant attention. Many speculation and rumors arise, but some data and statements provide a clearer picture of what happened during the audits. Below, we delve into key discrepancies reported and shed light on the ongoing audit process.
Key Discrepancies in the Arizona Presidential Election
The reports on Arizona’s 2020 presidential election audits are incomplete. However, some preliminary data have come to light, raising important questions about the integrity of the voting process.
Total of mail-in ballots received exceeded those mailed out by an alarming 73,000. About 5,300 voters were unregistered on election day, suggesting potential registration issues. Nearly 18,000 voters were removed from the voter rolls in just one month leading up to the election.While auditors have made no claims about the discrepancies being deliberate, it would be presumptuous to assume anything conclusive. However, it would be reasonable to speculate that the county deliberately stuffed the ballot box with around 90,000 Biden votes, leading to Trump actually winning by approximately 75,000 votes. Again, this is speculative, and more data is needed to form a definitive conclusion.
The Count Tally Divergence
The Arizona Senate president stated that the audit’s tally differed, but did not specify by how much or if the difference was statistically significant. In any election where millions of votes are involved, small discrepancies in counting may be expected. These differences often result from human error or technical issues, rather than deliberate tampering.
The nature of election audits is to verify the accuracy of the initial count and to ensure that the process was conducted transparently and without bias. Auditing is a critical step to maintain public trust and uphold the democratic process. However, it is essential to recognize that the final results are certified through multiple levels of official recount and audit processes, as well as confirmation by Congress and the Inauguration.
Why the Discrepancies Matter
Mostly, unofficial squirrel audits are not credible. They are carried out by individuals without the necessary expertise or official standing, and are often sensational and inaccurate. Thus, it is important to rely on official audits conducted by trained professionals and overseen by legal requirements.
Despite the audits, Maricopa County has not complied fully with legislative and judicial requirements. They have not permitted examination of their tabulation machines, as required by law, and have not provided the necessary transparency. This lack of cooperation may raise questions about the integrity of the process.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 presidential election in Arizona, like all elections, has its challenges and irregularities. However, the certification of results and the official processes are designed to ensure accuracy and fairness. It is now time to move forward with confidence and focus on the future. The key takeaway is to support and trust the official processes that underpin our democracy.
In conclusion, while the discrepancies need further investigation, the official recount and audit processes provide the ultimate validation. Biden is the President, Harris is the Vice President, and it is time to move past these debates and focus on the challenges that lie ahead in the nation’s journey.
