Arizona ballot audit backed by secretive donors linked to Trump’s inner circle
Karen Fann, the president of the Arizona state senate, said last year she received a phone call from Trump thanking her for “pushing to prove any fraud”, according to emails obtained by American Oversight, a left-leaning watchdog group. Fann, a Republican, also said she had spoken with Rudy Giuliani, a Trump ally, multiple times last year.

At least $150,000 of the inquiry’s funding has purportedly come from Voices and Votes, a 501(c)(4) run by Christina Bobb, an anchor for the One America News Network (OANN), a rightwing media network that has given air to election conspiracy theories. The group is also run with the White House correspondent Chanel Rion and Courtland Sykes, Rion’s fiance. Bobb spoke with Trump about the review, according to the Washington Post, and emailed Fann affidavits on behalf of Giuliani last year, emails show.

Bobb frequently plugs the effort during shows, where she covers the Arizona review, and on social media, but told BuzzFeed that OANN is not “in any way” affiliated with her fundraising despite the dark money group being run by multiple OANN employees and being promoted on the network. Voices and Votes was incorporated in Wyoming in March, shortly before the inquiry was announced, by Greg Roeberg, an Arizona attorney. A press release from the Trump campaign last year listed a Greg Roeberg as a “key member” of Jewish Voices for Trump. Roeberg said in an email he was not involved with the charity beyond helping it with the initial legal papers. The group declined an interview request.

L Lin Wood, the pro-Trump attorney behind a slew of lawsuits seeking to overturn election results last year, told Talking Points Memo that his non-profit, Fight Back, donated $50,000 to Voices and Votes for the review. But it is not clear what the money is actually going to since the groups are subject to few financial disclosure rules.

Wood, who has promoted fundraising efforts for the review on Telegram, also told TPM that Cyber Ninja chief Logan worked out of Wood’s home to investigate 2020 election voter fraud claims.

Patrick Byrne, the former chief executive of Overstock.com and an ardent Trump supporter, is also leading a group funding the effort. Byrne was involved in what Axios described as the “craziest meeting of the Trump presidency” – a December 2020 summit in the Oval Office that included Michael Flynn, and Sidney Powell, who falsely claimed voting machines had flipped votes for Trump and suggested he use government resources to seize voting machines. Byrne also reportedly screamed at representatives from the White House counsel’s office, saying they were not sufficiently helping to overturn the election.

In April, Byrne’s non-profit, the America Project, launched a Fund the Audit campaign aiming to raise $2.8m. Byrne says he contributed $1m to the effort, but at least another $900,000 has come from unknown sources. Byrne’s non-profit is also helping vet workers who participate in the review, according to the Arizona Republic.

Byrne also served as chief of another dark money group involved in the review, Defending the Republic, though he claims he resigned in April. Created by Powell, Defending the Republic published every Arizona lawmaker’s contact info on their website and promoted a misleading “Election Fraud Facts & Details“ document authored for the Arizona senate by Cyber Ninja’s Logan before the “audit” effort. The document contains disproven claims about voting machine software switching votes from Trump to Biden.

Powell’s group also previously hired Wake Technology Services, Inc (Wake TSI), a subcontractor, to audit election equipment in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, at the request of Doug Mastriano, a state senator who aggressively suggested the election was stolen, according to county documents obtained by the Guardian.

Paula Shives, a Democrat on the three-member county commission, was stunned that the company was allowed to inspect election materials last year. “Who authorized this? When was this scheduled? Who was notified and present during the process?” Shives wrote in a text message to the country’s election director and two commissioners that was obtained by OpenSecrets and the Guardian through a public records request.

This is fake news.

I say let them keep doing audits and wasting their money...all those thousands or millions of dollars begins to add up along with it being big waste of time after multiple audits.

Simply, as long as the tax payer are not paying for it and its money from private donations even if its from Trump's inner circle...

Make them pay for it and hopefully the Trump cult will continue sending in their money to help pay for the bogus audits.

As long as they have unlimited money and volunteers with nothing else to do in life...let them audit away as many times as they want.

As I stated before, Arizona is an easy target for fraudits. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are a different beast because those states will force you to pay a ton of money much higher than Arizona.

They will also end any circus show that begins to develop during an audit.

Yep, that's what I've been saying all along. Just let this play out. If there is nothing to it, then you've nothing to hide or worry about.

 

[wrbtrader]

Let this play out - Audit #1

Let this play out - Audit #2

Here's another prediction...

There will be an Audit #3 before end of year and I look forward to another "let this play out" just as long as it's not on the taxpayer dime. Simply, make them pay for every audit and make it very expensive.

Donate the money to Arizona's Children Hospital, Cancer society or Indigenous American Fund.

Marxist Democrats worried about spending taxpayer funds. Now that's rich.

 

[wrbtrader]

Let This Play Out meaning...

You're not allowed to talk about it but I will keep saying there was fraud.

I'm just not sure if the above meaning is Trumpism, Putinism, Jong-unism or a philosophy that they all share.

I've no idea if there was significant fraud in Arizona. I'm waiting to find out the truth. Common sense would tell you that there was significant fraud in the US elections as a whole in 2020 and that the election was largely stolen by events and legislation prior to any votes being cast. I'm waiting to see if significant fraud will be uncovered and evidence presented, (both existing and new evidence) in a number of states including, but not limited to, Texas, California, New York and Florida.

FALSE !!!

Prior to any 2020 legislation or events Dems won The House by 10 million votes in 2018 and Hillary got 3 million more votes in 2016.

 

[Tony Stark]

I'm waiting to find out the truth..

You certainly wont find that out by an audit being funded and conducted by Trump supporters.

I too would like a nonpartisan audit by experienced auditors in Texas,Florida and Ohio.
