We electors deserve election results that are verified. We shouldn’t have to wonder like with Congressional Arizona District 2 race that looks real weird. When you have an election where Martha McSally ( R ) won the vote at the precinct election day by 56% to 43% and won Cochise County by 59.5% to 40.5%. However, Ron Barber (D), is wining the Vote by Mail (VBM) at a rate of 54% to 45 in Pima County. VBM in Pima County in this election is 78% of the total vote count in Pima County. Martha McSally (R ) , is leading with only 341 votes out of 214,043 counted. With about 9,000 provisional ballots to go the momentum has shifted to Ron Barber. McSallys team has filed a legal action about the provisional ballots that they will lose for lawful reasons. Instead, her team should be going after the actual VBM count and the weird shift between votes cast at the precincts, versus the VBM which Pima Elections started counting a week before the election, and has a history of peeking at the results before election eve at 8PM. With these discrepancies described above someone should be asking a judge to order a hand count audit of 2 randomly picked precincts to verify the count on this race and others. On 08/05/14, at the Pima County BOS I said: “About 80% of the votes are expected to be Vote by Mail in the Aug 26th Primary, and November 4th General Election. VBM Ballots are not sorted except inside the central hackable tabulator that could easily be programmed to only hack ballot batches over 300. But by selecting 2 precincts late Election Night after all results are published by precincts and made public, makes it almost impossible for a hacker to hack the VBM. However, Chuck Huckelberry and his bud Benny White are going all out, to stop again any efforts to make elections Transparent and Verifiable. Why would Huckelberry stop Verifiable Elections, you may ask? Is he protecting his right to cheat in the future?” Also on 08/05/14 Mickey Duniho said: (except) Mr. Huckelberry’s memo claims that you need to reject our recommendation in order to maintain voter confidence in the election systems. This reminds me of the slogan in George Orwell’s 1984 novel that reads, “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.” Your EIC made recommendations to you to try to move Pima County in the direction of restoring voter confidence, which has been lost through Mr. Huckelberry’s closed ballot counting system, with no statistically useful hand count audit of early ballots. Mr. Huckelberry has been fighting election reform for the entire ten years that I have been involved in the election reform movement. His Election Director, Brad Nelson, lobbied in 2006 to water down the hand-count audit law, so that only one percent of early ballots are required to be counted, and there is no requirement to compare early ballot hand counts with officially reported election results, so there is no requirement to audit County elections at all. Pima County has fought election reform in the courts, using millions of taxpayer dollars to prevent expansion of election transparency. Linked to testimony by Mickey Duniho & John R Brakey, with the, PCBOS, verified that VBM has not been HACKED 8.5.14: youtu.be/4y2wBXZ9R8c Here is the bad part. The only way a recount can happen in Arizona (worst in USA), is if the results are within 1/10 of 1%. That means the difference in the results must be 226 votes or less to get a recount., as per ARS 16-661. Automatic recount; requirements; exemption. Now guess what,? It’s done by machine. Recounts in Florida, is set at ¼ of 1 percent, and ballots are a “public record”, unlike Arizona, where they are not! We at AUDIT-AZ collectively work to protect the “purity of elections”; “run by the people”, to ensure the fundamental right of every American citizen to vote, and to have each vote counted as intended in a secure, transparent, impartial, and independently audited election process. These are rights under our State Constitution, enforced by State law, and in the SoS Election Procedures Manual. Sadly, elections without public accountability are nothing more than vote-counting in the dark controlled by a county government in the act of choosing itself and its cronies while picking our pockets. Respectfully, John Roberts Brakey
