Facts Matter (July 14): Forensic Audit Finds That Ballot Totals Don’t Match Maricopa County’s Numbers Just yesterday, the Arizona Senate President announced that there is a discrepancy in the number of ballots counted for the 2020 election. She said that the number of ballots tallied during the forensic audit does not match the official total that was given by Maricopa County.

They literally got on a plane to Washington D.C. so that the legislature couldn’t vote on the measure.
