Well here's an interesting twist.

Ken Bennett flat out accused the Cyber Nimrods of fudging the counts.
Ken Bennett, the Arizona state Senate's liaison to its review of 2020's presidential election ballots threatened to resign from that post live on conservative talk radio on Monday, saying the Senate's pro-Trump contractors had been hiding their results from him for months and could even be manipulating audit data.

"I cannot be part of a process that I am kept out of critical aspects," Bennett told James T. Harris, host of The Conservative Circus on Phoenix's KFYI. "The reason that I am that close to stepping down as liaison is that I cannot be part of a process that I am kept out of critical aspects along the way that make the audit legitimate."

Speaking to James T. Harris, host of "The Conservative Circus," Bennett he was concerned that "all the sudden there was talk of a third count to just verify the number of ballots that are here," a process he wanted to ensure "was independent of Cyber Ninjas."

The problems with the company's ballot-counting methods, he said, were apparent early on in the process, which started back in April. The figures added to the central database did not always match the tallies from those who counted the ballots, he suggested.

"There were serious issues in the aggregation spreadsheet, when the tally sheets would be carried over to the end of the room and entered into the spreadsheet," he said. Bennett said he had been told there had been improvements to address his concerns — but that, later, workers told them they had been instructed, "Don't share anything with Secretary Bennett."

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't going to end with Cyber Ninjas being investigated by the feds for honest-services fraud or mail/wire fraud.

I have been thinking for a very long time that the Senate did not select CN but CN went to Arizona about doing an audit. Logan found a willing audience.

John Fredericks is a total dead-ender that laps up any bullsh*t he can dig up. Here's his interview with Ken Bennett. John looks thoroughly confused.

The Karen doubles down.

Fann just issued two more subpoenas, one to the county for their routers, and one to Dominion for their passwords.

:rotflmao:

Good luck with those, Karen

In May, Dominion made a statement about providing passwords to CN.



Dominion will fiercely fight this subpoena. I think a judge will rule in favor of Dominion.

Fann has subpoenaed the Maricopa County routers or images of the routers. I can't imagine a judge enforcing a subpoena for images of the county servers. The image of the entire county router system has nothing to do with the election. A judge won't give complete router image to CN. A judge absolutely won't require that the physical routers be supplied.

Fann has painted herself into a corner. She should stop painting but she seems incapable of stopping.

Ohhhhh.

Fann has demanded that Dominion appear before the AZ Senate to provide demanded info on Aug 2. Dominion may provide the info via some other way, but there's no way in hell Dominion is going to email, fax, snail mail, or telephone in the passwords demanded.

Maricopa County has been ordered to appear and/or provide more info. They are to provide all signed voter's envelopes (or digital copies). They are to provide voter registration records (which will contain voter's addresses). CN must be planning to canvass; it's the only reason they need the voter's personal info. Fann is also subpoenaing info that the MCBOS has already provided to CN. A judge has already ruled that they provided all the passwords and security info in their possession.

Fann has slightly altered this demand to include any security info that isn't in the possession of the MCBOS but that the county has a right to. Basically, Fann wants the MCBOS to convince Dominion to give the county the passwords that Dominion won't share with CN. Alas, a judge has already ruled that MCBOS has given all the security info they have access to. The judge told Fann to subpoena Dominion. Fann appears to understand that Dominion will be able to squash the Dominion subpoena.

In GA, a judge blocked the release of signed ballot envelopes. I'm curious to see what a judge decided about that.

Both Dominion and MCBOS will file with the courts to fight these subpoenas.



I'll post screenshots of the subpoenas in my next posts.

What a great idea! Why not issue legislative subpoenas for trade secrets while you're at it, Karen?

Dissolve the Arizona legislature. :mad:

Welllllllll

The response to Question 1, Appendix A is

"There are no records responsive to this request as no breach of the voter registration server, Maricopa County Recorder's Office system or any other part of the Maricopa County election system have or has occurred"

Question 2

"Why..? the envelopes aren't ballots so, kinda irrelevant"

Question 3

"Access to unnamed, unidentified systems that Maricopa County does not have access, knowledge or authority over doesn't magically happen by appending 'right to access' to it. Want to try again..?"

:lol: requesting from the Election Board in (5) and (6) the routers and technical networking stuff.

That hardware and associated information does not belong to the Election Board but the county. Kick rocks!

:rotflmao: in Exhibit A (6) requesting "all splunk logs"

Had never heard of "splunk". Turns out that it is a software developer tool package. It can monitor program performance of all kind for programs developed with it and creates logs for analysis. I am certain that the Board of Election do not use this package (Dominion is their provider) nor have production level programs that would collect information.

My guess is that the cyber ninja guy has been using it for creating his election fraudit software and believes everything is done with this package everywhere :brickwallsmall:

Have the Nimrods and Fann complied with the FOIA requests as ordered to do so by the courts?

I think that the MCBoS should insist that they do do as it pertains to the legitimacy of the "legislative purpose" behind the subpoena.

The ballot box
Unfortunately today's Republican voters largely want this behavior, so I think we can rely on them to vote for the kind of people who would have gladly overturned the election. I have real concerns about who will end up as Secretary of State in Georgia, and possibly other states as well. We need to keep Democratic voters pumped to get out and vote in every election.

Sort of. Devs use it, but so do devops and admins. You can build tools on top of it, but at its core it is a central place where you send all your logging and can then search/view it in a sane way. It would be completely reasonable for the County's own IT people to be using it to monitor their own systems.

We use AWS Cloudwatch, Splunk is roughly equivalent. Other options that come to mind include Google Stackdriver and Azure Log Analytics. I think teh Googs is partnered up with Splunk these days, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Yep, all depends on your ecosystem. I think splunk is mostly used by 'roll your own' environments rather than if you are using one of the big cloud providers. So if the county had their own dedicated servers splunk+nagios would be solid tools for them to have used. I would expect if CN is asking for it they have at least confirmed that it is what the county uses. Otherwise that would represent a whole extra level of incompetence.. which would not surprise me.

Though since I was curious, I poked around and found a job posting for Maricopa County (Judicial Branch) IT that listed splunk as a requirement, so seems likely that at least some parts of the county use it.

Sure, but the subpoena goes to the Election Board so I predict a failure in obtaining any kind of logs from them. I guess the county will also balk on a request to view sensitive logs, the subpoena does not detail what selection the ninjas have in mind.
