Trump issued a statement after the hearing highlighting several misleading claims.
Senate President Karen Fann told reporters after the meeting that she was still considering new procedures as part of the audit, which is focused on the vote count in Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest county.
Senate Republicans had planned to canvass homes and ask people about their voting patterns, but in May dropped the idea under pressure from the U.S. Department of Justice, which warned the effort could violate laws against voter intimidation. Fann said Thursday she would consult with lawyers before deciding whether to proceed.
Fann and Judiciary Committee Chairman Warren Petersen used the Senate‘s subpoena power to take control of Maricopa County’s voting machines and ballots after Trump claimed without evidence that the 2020 election was rigged against him in Arizona and other battleground states.
Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan and two others Ben Cotton, head of the data forensics firm CyFIR and former Republican Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who is serving as a liaison between the Senate and the auditors raised a number of issues, many misleading or wrong, that they said could be resolved with more data or cooperation from Maricopa County. The county s Republican-controlled Board of Supervisors has called the auditors incompetent and refused to cooperate.
“That’s been one of the more difficult things with this audit, is not having that feedback loop,” Logan said.
Jack Sellers, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement that the auditors are “portraying as suspicious what is actually normal and well known to people who work in elections.”
