AZ Audit Update

I've been waiting for the audit process to run its course, rather than try to keep up with breathless speculation. However, this morning sundance has pointed to an article in which a named person associated with the AZ audit makes important assertions of fact. Sundance argues that the fact that these assertions are not being reported anonymously warrants repeating them, and I agree. What follows is simply the relevant portion of the article as reproduced at CTH. I did check the original, and what follows does appear to be the extent of the relevant information:

ARIZONA – Several hundred thousand votes that were counted in Maricopa County, Arizona are associated with missing ballots, according to an audit organizer who is speaking regularly with people on the audit floor.

“We found a ballot shortage, anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the votes,” Josh Barnett, an audit organizer who led the affidavit drive to make the audit happen, tells NATIONAL FILE. “It looks like a couple hundred thousand ballots are unaccounted for. The ballots are missing.”

“I also know that there were boxes filled with blank ballots in those pallets. There were blanks in there,” Barnett said, citing a person who is frequently at the audit site as part of the audit process. “They (election officials) were doing it for appearance, to try to hide the fact that ballots are missing by saying, ‘It’s okay, they’re all right here.’ But the ballots are blank.” (read more)

Obviously, if true--and we should know very soon now--this would be a genormous development, which nationwide ramifications.

In case you didn't get it, here's the transcript courtesy of TGP:

Boris Johnson: And welcome to those who just joined us… President Ramaphosa (South Africa), President Moon (South Korea)…

Joe Biden: And the President of South Africa.

Boris Johnson: And the President of South Africa as, as, as I said.

Joe Biden: Oh, you did?

Boris Johnson: I certainly did.

Room: Laughter

Imagine if Trump had done anything remotely like that.

In this next one Dan Bongino makes an obvious point, but one that always bears repeating--and he does it well. I couldn't find the video on Youtube so follow the link:

Nevada Judge Orders Inspection Of Voting Equipment

There's a lot going on--more than I can update here--and I have an appointment this morning. However, a notable development occurred last night in Nevada, where a judge ordered Clark County officials to allow an inspection of voting equipment:

A judge in Nevada has ordered Clark County officials to allow an inspection of the elections equipment and sealed containers used in the 2020 election by 1:00 P.M. tomorrow. @RichardGrenell @AdamLaxalt @mschlapp

Separately, on Lou Dobbs last night Sidney Powell stated that she has seen a "tape" from a voting machine from CA that showed 550 votes cast by 270 voters. As it stands, we have to treat that as basically anecdotal, but it illustrates the importance that could attach to examining machines and documentation from the election.

ADDENDUM: Powell also noted that a Dominion server was removed from Fulton County to an undisclosed location even as she was seeking a court order to freeze the server in place. It appears as an example of bad faith on the part of the local officials that should result in a negative inference.

UPDATED: Moody's Election Models

Slow news day. CNBC offers this: Trump is on his way to an easy win in 2020, according to Moody’s accurate election model. Moody's does three different models, and comes up with a Trump win each time. Strong wins. These models have been wrong only once--in 2016. Woops! Here are the bullet points:

1) President Donald Trump will win re-election easily in 2020 if the economy holds up, modeling by Moody’s Analytics shows. 

2) “If voters were to vote primarily on the basis of their pocketbooks, the president would steamroll the competition,” the report states. 

3) Three models show Trump getting at least 289 electoral votes and as many as 351, assuming average turnout. 

4) The Moody’s models have been backtested to 1980 and were correct each time — except in 2016, when it indicated Clinton would win a narrow victory.

UPDATE: Sean Davis succinctly states what's pretty obvious by now:

 

If impeachment were as popular as cooked media polls suggest, Pelosi would be rushing to put her vulnerable Trump-district Democrats on record. That she is so obviously desperate to avoid a recorded vote is a sign that impeachment is a political loser. https://t.co/JpbHmlpMCy
