Please explain how the ballots and equipment have been compromised. Specifics, not Hobbesque generalities.
Here's something on ballots being compromised by violation of chain of custody requirements:

I'll continue to look for more details on how the machines are compromised. I mean other than the fact that people responsible for elections say they have been compromised. I really shouldn't have to do that Really, when you have an obviously partisan effort like this going on and election officials are telling you there are problems, you should believe the election officials.
This article means nothing.
First off, the Board of Supervisors tried to prevent the audit from happening by using the whole "we need to hold onto the ballots for 22 months" line. How does that make sense? The law doesn't dictate you can't audit the ballots, just that you can't dispose of them for 22 months after an election. A judge saw through this very weak argument and told the BOS they needed to comply.
Secondly, the audit requested to perform their work at the facility the ballots were being stored, but the BOS denied them, so they had to find a location.
In the meantime, the BOS loaded up all the ballots onto a truck and said, "where do you want these" before a location was found. Now, why did they load the trucks up before they were told a location and violate their own rules? Did the BOS properly fill out the chain of custody forms when they loaded up the truck?
Don't think the audit didn't understand what was happening here. This was the BOS pulling shenanigans so they could complain about "ballots being lost and chain of custody issues" if the audit didn't go their way. The audit has been making damn sure the chain of custody forms are being filled out correctly, not to mention the 24/7 video cameras throughout the audit.
If anything, the audit has corrected the BOS errors on chain of custody. Don't forget the former AZ Secretary of State is involved in this audit.
All this is well documented.
As for the machines, you've got to be kidding me. How in the hell can code on a machine be inspected that will break it SO badly, the certified vendor can't fix it? Makes absolutely no sense.
Once again. Absolutely no specifics are given by the BOS as to why they say such things. This is why I think it goes to a formal investigation where many more people are involved.
