Sketchy Business – Maricopa Arizona County Board of Elections Hold Emergency Meeting Then Refuses to Allow Election Audit In Local Facility

Folks, trust me on this one… I have been researching these political machinations so long I know exactly what it looks like, a very familiar pattern, when sketchy politicians do sketchy things to cover their sketchy tracks. This story has more alarms, bells and sirens attached than most sketchy business reveals.
If there was any doubt something fishy was happening in/around Phoenix Arizona in the 2020 election, those doubts can be eliminated. Something sketchy is afoot.
 A few weeks ago a judge agreed with the republican Arizona senate that an audit of Maricopa County ballots was justified. The judge agreed with the Arizona Senate that subpoenas were validly presented, there was information that supported the suspicion behind that ballot audit request, and the state had authority to reach into the Maricopa county election system and audit everything, soup-to-nuts.
Then yesterday the Maricopa County election board held a closed-door emergency meeting as the Senate subpoena was about to be executed.
Again, if the board of elections have nothing to fear, then the officials would not be opposed to a public hearing of their “emergency” concerns. After all, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
However, the board result was to throw another impediment upon the pending audit by saying they would not facilitate the use of their Maricopa tabulations center for the audit.
In a legally obtuse letter [ pdf here], from the legal representatives of the board to the State senate, the board of elections said they would deliver the ballots to another venue, but they would not permit the ballots -or the electronic tabulation machines- to be audited in their current physical location.
