Crazy Times Carnival to take place on same grounds as Maricopa County election audit Nicole Sadek, Arizona Republic
The Arizona State Fairgrounds announced Monday that a new carnival will kick off Thursday on the same grounds where a Maricopa County election audit is taking place.
Maintaining security at the coliseum has been a key concern during the audit.
Jen Yee, a spokesperson for the fairgrounds, said the carnival will be fenced off, with the north lot set aside for audit parking.
The fairgrounds marketing team brainstormed names for possible live events early in the pandemic when the world first imploded, Yee said. They came up with Crazy Times Carnival well before the Nov. 3 election or before anyone imagined a ballot recount happening inside the coliseum.
Judge rejects attempt to keep secret the procedures used for Arizona election audit Andrew Oxford, Arizona Republic
A judge has rejected an attempt to keep secret the procedures used to recount the 2.1 million ballots cast by Maricopa County voters.
Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based firm hired by the Arizona Senate to oversee the hand recount, had sought to keep the public from learning the details of how it is conducting the work. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin said those details should be heard in open court, however.
While the decision could soon give the public a much broader understanding of the process than it has had since the recount began on Friday, Martin also allowed the Senate s audit to continue without any additional rules or restrictions.
