Rep. Mark Finchem: Cost of Audit Should Be Billed to Maricopa County
“I am pleased to see that the Arizona Attorney General has reinforced the rule of law and is compelling a lawless political subdivision to do what it promised to do on December 14, 2020. In fact, I am of the opinion that the entire cost of the audit should be billed back to the county for the delays and legal hoops that the Senate has had to go through just to do its job.”

Okay, please don't shoot the messenger. The good news is, our auditors are successfully recovering from covid and are back at work preparing the report. As for the report, I am glad to hear that at least it will be produced within the next week or two. From that point, the Judiciary committee will meet and will go over everything with a fine-tooth comb. I will keep everyone posted to the extent I am able to disclose information. We are moving forward.

The draft audit report is not yet complete. It appears it will take a few more weeks. It will then take a couple more weeks for the Senate to review the draft report for factual accuracy and make clarifications. That puts the release of the final audit report somewhere near the end of September.
You can be disappointed and angry, or you can be grateful that we've been given more time to prepare for the chaos that will follow the release of the report.

Deplorables Organize to Seize Control of the GOP and Reshape America’s Elections
Pravda ProPublica contacted GOP leaders in 65 key counties, and 41 reported an unusual increase in signups since Steve Bannon’s precinct committeeman campaign began. At least 8,500 new Republican precinct officers (or equivalent lowest-level officials) joined those county parties. We also looked at equivalent Democratic posts and found no similar surge.
“I’ve never seen anything like this, people are coming out of the woodwork,” said J.C. Martin, the GOP chairman in Polk County, Florida, who has added 50 new committee members since January. Martin had wanted congressional Republicans to overturn the election on Jan. 6, and he welcomed this wave of like-minded newcomers. “The most recent time we saw this type of thing was the tea party, and this is way beyond it.”
Tarrant County has added 61 precinct chairs this year, about a 24% increase since February. “Those podcasts actually paid off,” Fort Worth, county chair Rick Barnes said.
For weeks, about five people a day called to become precinct chairs in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, southwest of Green Bay. Albert, the county party chair, said he would explain that Wisconsin has no precinct chairs, but newcomers could join the county party — and then become poll workers.
What’s different this time is an uncompromising focus on elections themselves. The new movement is built entirely around Trump’s insistence that the electoral system failed in 2020 and that Republicans can’t let it happen again. The result is a nationwide groundswell of party activists whose central goal is not merely to win elections but to reshape their machinery.
“We can take over the party if we invade it,” PrecinctStrategy.com founder, Dan Schultz said. “I can’t guarantee you that we’ll save the republic, but I can guarantee you this: We’ll lose it if we conservatives don’t take over the Republican Party.”
Bannon endorsed Schultz’s plan, telling “all the unwashed masses in the MAGA movement, the deplorables” to take up this cause.

Arizona Needs Real Leaders on Election Reform, Not Passive Politicians Like Attorney General Mark Brnovich | The Federalist
As the month of November came to a close, multiple chances arose for Brnovich to step up and take action on his own, only for him to refuse each time. On Nov. 30, Brnovich joined Hobbs and Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in signing the certification of Arizona’s 11 electoral votes for Biden.
Making matters worse, in December, 17 Republican state attorneys general signed onto the historic lawsuit Texas v. Pennsylvania in support of Texas’s efforts to hold the swing states accountable for their unilateral and unconstitutional changes to election laws in the months prior to the election. Arguably even worse than opposing Texas, Brnovich sat on the fence and filed a brief in support of neither side, instead offering a vague argument in support of “election integrity.”
Throughout the audit, it should be noted that Brnovich, the state’s top law enforcement officer, has taken absolutely no action to investigate election fraud himself, choosing to stay out it for fear of being criticized and because, as he’s said, he believes it’s all just a crazy “conspiracy theory.”
To this end, the only thing Attorney General Brnovich, the man with actual law enforcement power, did was what many soft Republicans do in an effort to portray themselves as “fighters”: He wrote a strongly-worded letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting that the Department of Justice not interfere with the Arizona audit.
Brnovich is not a member of a legislative minority like the Republicans in the United States Senate, however. He is a statewide official in charge of one of the most powerful offices in Arizona. He had, and still has, the authority to do much more than write angry letters. He could have made a real difference in proving whether the election was legitimate, but he chose to stand aside.
