No media allowed to witness the process. How that for totalitarian thinking?

The ballots will be scrutinized not by election officials, but by a group of private companies led by a private Florida-based firm, whose owner has promoted claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and who has been cited as an expert by allies of former president Donald Trump seeking to cast doubt on the election in other parts of the country.
In Arizona, lawmakers are going beyond that: They are launching what is the most extensive endeavor around the country to look backward and scrutinize the official November results, in which Biden won the state by 10,457 votes.
The recount has sparked an internecine fight among state Republicans, with the GOP-led Maricopa County Board of Supervisors refusing to assist the effort, saying multiple past reviews have already demonstrated the election was run properly. And it has triggered deep fears among Democrats and voting rights groups that the process could further election conspiracy theories that led to violence on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
The Repugs are going to screw with all the votes in Arizona and then insist that the dotard won when he did not. If they can’t win, then they will attempt to lie, cheat, and steal an election and that is exactly what they are attempting to do. I seriously doubt they will get away with it and it won’t change the fact that President Biden won. However, Rachel is right that the dotard’s cronies will lie and his minions will believe it, probably becoming more violent for it and that’s exactly what they want to happen.

The way they are doing it, I wouldn't believe any results they report. And after 3rd party handling, I'd think any integrity of the ballots is out the window too.

I haven’t trusted the Repugs for a very long time now.
… The head of Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based firm that Republican senators hired to oversee the audit, has embraced Mr. Trump’s baseless theories of election theft and has suggested, contrary to available evidence, that Mr. Trump actually won Arizona by 200,000 votes. The pro-Trump cable channel One America News Network has started a fund-raiser to finance the venture and has been named one of the nonpartisan observers that will keep the audit on the straight and narrow. …
… Almost half a year after the election Mr. Trump lost, the promised audit has become a snipe hunt for skulduggery that has spanned a court battle, death threats and calls to arrest the elected leadership of Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix.

In fact, three previous reviews showed no sign of significant fraud or any reason to doubt President Biden’s victory. But the senators now plan to recount — by hand — all 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, two-thirds of the entire vote statewide. …
As for Putin, how well his trumpster army is doing in their effort to breakdown of our government and install a totalitarian regime.
Fann announced on Wednesday that she’d selected four companies to participate in an extensive audit and recount of the election, led by Cyber Ninjas, an Florida-based cybersecurity company. Cyber Ninjas is owned by Doug Logan, who has been an active promoter of baseless conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud last year, including in Arizona.
“I’m tired of hearing people say there was no fraud. It happened, it’s real, and people better get wise fast,” read a tweet from a since-suspended account that Logan retweeted on Dec. 31.
This is actually an amazingly threatening game these extremists are playing. The problem is they have nothing to lose. It’s Americans who have everything to lose.
Phoenix-based KPNX TV political reporter Brahm Resnik tells Stephanie Ruhle that the Republican-backed vote recount in Maricopa County, AZ is a "rogue audit" and says it could set a worrying precedent for elections down the road. "What prevents them from doing this again in 2022 and 2024?"

Heck, I hear they even have voting machines, seems very weird, what prevents them from infecting those machines they have under locked door.
