Election audits for the 2020 U.S. election are moving forward despite continued attempts by Democrats to derail the process.
“Overnight we went from 20 counting locations on the floor to 46,” stated former Arizona secretary of state and audit director Ken Bennett. “Hopefully in the next day or two, they will be ready to fully staff that and then if we go to three shifts, which we are talking about, we will almost triple our throughput.”
Maricopa County Election Audit Could Last Longer Than Expected: Official
The audit of 2020 election ballots and machines in Arizona’s largest county could go beyond mid-May, an official said on May 3.
State Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, booked the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum through May 14 to conduct the audit, which is reviewing more than 2 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in the presidential election, along with 385 tabulators and other machines used last year.
Former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, a Republican tapped by Fann as the audit’s liaison, had expressed confidence that the process would be finished by May 14. But he told The Epoch Times on May 3 that it could run longer.

PHOENIX – Election security specialists with high-powered policy groups are calling for federal monitors to oversee the Arizona Senate s hand recount of 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County.
Citing violations of voting and election laws, representatives of the Brennan Center for Justice, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Protect Democracy urged the Department of Justice to protect ballots and prevent voter intimidation. Ballots that are protected under federal law are in imminent danger of being stolen, defaced, or irretrievably damaged, and Arizona citizens are in imminent danger of being subject to unlawful voter intimidation, the four security specialists wrote in the April 29 letter.
