Elections experts from across the country have said this method is flawed and will produce incorrect results,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Arizona Senate Democratic Caucus also pushed back against Fann\u2019s remarks, saying in a Twitter post, \u201cThis is a lie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>The caucus and county did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>According to Maricopa County\u2019s official canvass (pdf), there were 2,089,563 ballots cast in its 2020 general election.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fann\u2019s remarks come as the ballots cast in Arizona\u2019s largest county in the 2020 election were set to be counted for a third time on orders from the state\u2019s Senate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The ballots submitted in Maricopa County for the presidential contest were tabulated, as normal, by election officials. They were recounted by hand by audit teams hired by the state Senate in a process that was completed late last month.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Senate was set to conduct its own recount, which will provide a number to compare with those from the county and from the auditors, and focuses on the number of ballots and not the actual votes, unlike the first two tabulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Senate is using two counting machines that it purchased to complete the count.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maricopa County officials oppose the audit. The county Board of Supervisors called for it to end in May. County officials announced recently that they would replace all of the election machines afterward because of concerns about the equipment being probed by auditors. They\u2019re poised to vote on Wednesday whether to allocate $2.8 million to replace the equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fann told conservative radio host Mike Broomhead that the new count would begin on July 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>She defended Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, which critics say has insufficient audit experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m confident because it\u2019s not just them,\u201d said Fann. \u201cEverybody keeps just counting on them when actually they are working with a number of other contractors that have experience in audits and in their expertise in their own fields \u2026 This is a joint effort.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Epoch Times has reached out to former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, the Senate\u2019s audit liaison, for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Zachary Stieber contributed to this report.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-below-offers under-article-container desktop piano-templates standard\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-below-widgets under-article-container desktop widget-cloud-loaders standard\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contractors working for Cyber Ninjas, which was hired by the Arizona Senate, examine and recount ballots from the 2020 general election at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Ariz., on May 1, 2021.
