Arizona Senate considering another audit of Maricopa County 2020 election: Report
The Arizona Senate may sign a deal for another 2020 election review in Maricopa County following reports that some overseers of the audit are dissatisfied with the process.
The present audit, which includes a review of 2.1 million ballots cast in the state's November election in the county, has been underway since April 23 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, led by the hired firm Cyber Ninjas. Audit liaison, former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, told a reporter with CBS5 News on Thursday that hand counters had gone through more than 800,000 ballots so far. Organizers have said they hope to finish by the end of June.
But the GOP-led state Senate is already eyeing another recount that would be entirely electronic, running digital images of ballots through a program to count all votes cast for every race on the county's ballot, according to the Arizona Republic. Bennett told the outlet they are considering a California-based election transparency nonprofit group called Citizens Oversight for the job, and the results from both audits could be compared to one another.
Citizens Oversight founder Ray Lutz, 63, told the Arizona Republic this week his group has never been commissioned to audit an election, adding that the technology being pitched for the process has never been used for an official audit.
"I would say absolutely this is a grand test," Lutz said. "I think it is certainly a big test for me because I have put a lot of work on it for the last year and a half or so."

Here is what Joe, my son, said:
"I heard they are going to hire the cast of the Muppet Show to complete the recount.
Gonzo will be in charge with his chickens doing most of the re-count, with their beaks checking for bamboo paper and with Beaker doing chemical audits of the audits which of course will lead to explosions.
Miss Piggy and Kermit will be running the PR department, the band will set up out front to entertain the trumpies and the media.
The Chef, of course will be cooking chickens (not Gonzo's counting ones) and the two old men in the balcony will run a 24/7 play by play of the actions to be streamed on CNN.
Scooter will be doing live reporting for Fox.
That will be unbeknownst to him; he was thinking he was working for NPR.
