Arizona GOP Legislator Admits Audit âMakes Us Look Like Idiotsâ It makes us look like idiots, said Paul Boyer, a Republican state senator who had supported the effort, as quoted in
The New York Times. Looking back, I didn t think it would be this ridiculous. It s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.
That well, huh?
Republicans are trying to have 2.1 million ballots from Maricopa Countyâwhere the majority of the state s voters liveâ audited. So far, the conspiracy theorists in charge of the effort have gotten through 250,000 ballots, which puts them on track to finish in August. They only have the space where they re currently working reserved until May 14, at which point they will have to find someplace else to move the ballots and equipment, because there are high school graduation ceremonies scheduled at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum beginning on May 17.

On the floor of Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where Sir Charles Barkley once dunked basketballs and Hulk Hogan wrestled King Kong Bundy, 46 tables are arrayed in neat rows, each with a Lazy Susan in the middle.
Seated at the tables are several dozen people, mostly Republicans, who spend hours watching ballots spin by, photographing them or inspecting them closely. They are counting them and checking to see if there is any sign they were flown in surreptitiously from South Korea. A few weeks ago they were holding them up to ultraviolet lights, looking for a watermark rumored to be a sign of fraud.
