Arizona Senate to hand-count 2.1 million Maricopa ballots [View all]

PHOENIX (AP) — Republicans who control the Arizona Senate announced Thursday they now intend to do a complete recount of 2.1 million ballots in the state’s most populous county to ensure that President Joe Biden's November win was legitimate.

Senate President Karen Fann had been pushing for a “full forensic audit” of Maricopa County's election result and won a court order on Feb. 26 granting the Senate access to the ballots and tabulation machines. But she had never acknowledged until this week that she wanted a full recount, something state law doesn't allow except in narrow circumstances.

Previous documents obtained by The Associated Press showed Fann intended to recount “at least” 550,000 ballots.

The county Board of Supervisors had argued the ballots were secret and the machines need to remain secure and fought a subpoena issued by Senate Republicans.

What a waste of time, money, and resources to accomplish nothing. And of course it's a Karen who is pushing for this mess.
