Greetings from Arizona! We are pressing on with the audit, and are steadfast in out effort to get chain of custody reform passed to ensure a more secure election. It is our effort to restore confidence in the people, so that they can be sure that their vote is counted!
Today I voted aye on reconsideration only SB1485, the PEVL clean up bill. I did so in good faith, that we will see election security measures this year, before the budget. I also believe the talk of going home has been suspended. Under these conditions I an placing my trust in my colleagues. We learned a lot last year about going home too soon and I don't think we will see a repeat. Please keep our feet to the fire and demand election security.
Godpeed.
Please watch this.

James T. Harris of KFYI speaks with Arizona Audit Liaison Ken Bennett to understand why the audit is being conducted and how it works.

Ken explains that 33K ballots had no Presidential vote recorded by the Dominion machines. This is in a race “won” by a 0.3% margin (10K votes). He also notes that approximately 90% of the 2.1M ballots were mailed. The audit is looking for any ballots that were uncounted, mail-in ballots without folds, with machine-filled-in bubbles, printed on unofficial paper, or without proper alignment marks, and any envelopes that are missing signatures. He mentioned that they are also checking on ballots that have not been accounted for e.g. returned ballots.

Ken hopes the audit will be about 1/3 complete by the end of the week.
UPDATE:
The Senate has received authorization to use a separate building to secure the ballots/audit materials in a separate building next week during the graduation ceremonies in order to protect the process.
Today I voted Aye on a strong parental rights bill (HB2035) that allows parents to see the curriculum in advance, regardless of what class the info is being taught in. It prohibits sex ed before 5th grade, and affirms opt in instead of opt out.

The arguments made by the opponents of the bill had the same underlying thesis:

We believe the child's right to an alternative view, taught by a trusted adult, that is evidence-based and approved by academia, supercedes the parent's right to withhold that info from the child. That children will learn from the internet anyway so the school system should have the right to counter that, and that opt-in is creating an undue burden on teachers to be able to offer that info. That the bill targeted the LGBTQ community by allowing parents to not place their children in front of the school's version on how that info should be taught.

It was a great to be able to remind all who were listening that no matter how they felt about the above arguments, parents have a legal right to determine the education of their minor child (A.R.S.1-602)
We memorized that statute by the following mnemonic device-
First title (1), and Phoenix's area code (602). A.R.S.1-602
I figured out the comments thing, so please share your thoughts.
