Guilty. Why else would anyone go to such extraordinary lengths to hide the evidence?

Arizona Senators Sue to Enforce Subpoenas for Election Equipment and Records

The president of the Arizona Senate and the chairman of the state senate’s Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit on Dec. 21 asking the Maricopa County Superior Court to enforce a pair of subpoenas that sought ballot tabulation equipment and voting records from county election officials.

By: Ivan Pentchoukov= The Epoch Times, December 23, 2020:

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth, both Republicans, had issued the subpoenas to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Dec. 15. In response, the board voted against complying and filed a lawsuit to determine whether it is obligated to produce the materials sought.

The Arizona Senate lawsuit (pdf) states that after the Nov. 3 election, state lawmakers were inundated with questions and complaints from citizens who were concerned with the integrity of the election and whether their votes were correctly counted.

“In consultation with President Fann, Chairman Farnsworth determined that these widespread concerns warranted a comprehensive independent investigation by the Judiciary Committee, to include a full forensic audit of tabulation devices and other voting equipment in Maricopa County,” the lawsuit states.

The senators plan to use the results of the audit to determine whether to certify or reject the presidential electors for Joe Biden, which have been transmitted to the U.S. Congress and are due to be counted on Jan. 6, 2021.

The first subpoena requested access to ballot tabulations used in Maricopa County for the Nov. 3 election, in addition to related software, hardware, and removable media. The senators also requested voter rolls, voter records, paper ballots, and other records. The second subpoena demanded a number of electronic files, including images of all the ballots cast in the county on Nov. 3.

The county could have fulfilled a substantial part of the request by Dec. 18, but didn’t do so as of Dec. 21, according to court documents. The senators asked for an order from the court enforcing the subpoenas.

The Arizona secretary of state on Nov. 30 certified the presidential electors for Biden as the winning slate. The electors met on Dec. 14 and cast their votes for Biden. On the same day, the Republican presidential electors cast a procedural vote for President Donald Trump and sent a competing slate to Congress.

Biden ostensibly received 10,457 more votes than Trump in Arizona, a margin the lawsuit describes as “exceedingly close.”

Arizona’s Republican Party filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit filed by Maricopa County against the senators as part of its fight against complying with the subpoenas.

Yes, but the senators can’t do it. They “have no teeth”. Where are “the people” who would take them?

The Arizona secretary of state has invited Hillary Clinton to sanitize the equipment before it is turned over for forensic audit.

Sanitize the data with something like “bleach-bit” or physically as with hammers? Either way has proven legally viable for the Dems.

Why aren’t the election officials in jail today? First time in history that someone told a judge to shove his subpoena up his rear end and nothing happened.

All the Judge has to do is file contempt of court and have them put in jail until they comply. Judges do that all the time. It would “appear” that someone is afraid of being found out. Those with nothing to hide,… hide nothing.

I have heard that Maricopa is extraordinarily corrupt. They can probably get away with anything they desire.

Hey Geller, no mention of Trump pardoning his entire criminal enterprise? Epstein should have hung in there, he’d have been a free man. But, but Hunter Biden. But, but those baseless election fraud bombshells. Welcome to Trump’s America, where it’s easier to get a pardon than a stimulus check. Third world sh*thole.

Sounds like you have “roid rage”. It does affect the mind.

Epstein? He was a big contributor to the Clintons. He was also a good friend to the Clintons. Trump, at the first complaint about him, tossed him from his Florida resort.

“Baseless election fraud bombshells”? Even Democrat poll sitters have filed affidavits that they witness election fraud. Then the videos. Yea, right… “baseless”. Must be those lying eyes and lying Democrat supporters.

So how is it they can ignore the subpoena in the first place. Go get the machines and arrest anyone in the way. I’ll help, fly me to AZ.

What these dopey DEMS don’t realize it’s bigger than Trump.
What if they want a certain DEM politician to win and they ALL vote for the person and lose?
Is their hatred of Trump blinding them to the same scenario?
