The Arizona Senate raised the stakes within a stinging rebuke to Maricopa County officials on handling of 2020 election with allegations of serious errors that further question the 2020 election results. AZGOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update:
.
Additionally, in a very interesting development, there are now questions about whether the Maricopa County internal EMS database was deleted, or whether it was always connected to an external database and that is what the Board of Supervisors is really trying to hide.
The Maricopa Board of Supervisors has called for another emergency hearing today at 4:00pm to get legal advice after the Arizona Senate accused county officials of intentional misconduct and violations of the Senate subpoena that carried a judicially supported court order.
question. who can the senate get to press charges? who is in the position to get these holes?
The presiding judge can declare the board supervisors are in contempt of court and order them to arrested.
The Senate has the authority. They are not enforcing their subpoena. WHY?
I don’t think they ever planned to enforce anything…
The writing has been on the wall about that since day one. The audit was started with no plan of completion and no set criteria to go by.
They have made it through less than 1/3 of the ballots and only have 3-4 days left to run out.
I’ve been cussed out for it from day one but this thing has been lots of drama, lights, tv camera and theater with absolutely no criteria or end goal.
“Oh well we tried”…
This method gives the lamestream media cover to blast it that it was a publicity stunt & once again no evidence of fraud was found……same ol’ story, dhimocrats lie, cheat & steal but repubicans play by the rules……should’a just hired a hacker from day 1 to get into the machines but nooooooo, let’s play by the rules ’til the ock runs out…..they should now sieze the machines, hide them, get licensed security or Az N G to guard at undisclosed location, maintain cctv & HACK THE FRIGGIN’ DOMINION P O S MACHINES ???
Somehow, I think that the Arizona State Senate means business . . . “This is no ordinary plaintiff.”
You are wrong. The AZ audit will resume in the same place after the graduation services of local schools are over. Your comment shows your careless attitude and lack of information. Go peddle your negativity elsewhere.
Keep dreamin’……maybe someday you’ll get to experience reality……point of reference:
mueller special counsel team cell ???
You are absolutely correct. Anyone who is even halfway paying attention knows this. Perhaps “Mike” is another one of those rolcons.
They’ve chosen to examine all of the ballots. But, even if they stopped right now, they have more than enough of a “statistical sample” to provide them with all of the answers that they need. Most audits use sampling. It’s rather unusual that they’ve instead called for “a total canvass.” But, they’ve got the money and they’ve decided to spend it.
And to the criminals: “Welcome to your Nightmare.” The very worst thing that could possibly happen to you … is happening to you.
Look at their offshore bank accounts for the answer to that question. Ditto the Judge.
Who says they aren’t? They’ve already informed the County officials that they are in contempt of the Senate.
If you’re an ordinary plaintiff, you have to “pray that the Honorable Court” will use its powers of subpoena and so forth. But, if you are the State Senate, you have such powers on your own authority. Defiance of a subpoena is a Felony offense.
opps
“Maricopa County” did this. Maricopa County did that. No humans with names, apparently, were involved.
Reminds me of when an SUV caused an accident or a gun shoots someone.
Dominion did it.
Obama did it! Fixed it for you 😉
limbaugh warned us back in the late 90’s that SUV’S would be attacking us.
The problem is Maricopa county is republican and when you start naming the names it puts a direct association to it.
Same with Atrium county Michigan.
The party doesn’t like it when their people get put into the spotlight. Additionally, their fan club, for the most part, doesn’t want to know it was the home team that did this.
Actually, no. Maricopa County’s election data is suspect because there has already been hard forensic data—names, addresses, etc.—indicating substantial voter fraud. Investigations separate from Rudy and Sidney’s investigations found this evidence. This is not software manipulation—it is solid evidence of voter fraud. This is what Trjump was talking about when he claimed he won the election.
Stock tip o’ the day:
Invest in US guillotine manufacturing companies.
Expecting a run on them soon…..
in france, for sure. when they launch on the terrorists around paris,it will be bloody.
for them or us?
Still up for grabs…..
them. We aren’t riding any cattle cars if push comes to shove.
They usually aren’t very good with guns.
The hmemade guillotine craze has already driven up lumber prices.
Something fishy is going on.
No really, something fishy is going on.
Democrats, the Left, and the MSM (yawn) “Nothing to see here folks just a bunch of nutty Trumpkins who can’t accept the results of the 2020 election.”
But the worst part is apparently the local Republicans have been obstructive. What the heck? Seems like there’s been monkey business going on on both sides.
As Sundance has been saying they’re ain’t 2 sides, just 2 subsidiaries.
The other side is us!
Exactly, I’m tired of people saying Repubs and Democrats. It’s not the case. Sure, they have an R and D next to their name but they are one and the same: The Government Party or what we usually refer to as the Uni-Party.
I’m sick and tired of two tiered justice. There’s the law for us common folks and there is the law for government officials. Any one of us plebes would of already been rounded up.
For example- Roger Stone was charged with lying to Congress and thus raided by SWAT at 3 am with news cameras running. Getting the big ole perp walk of shame.
Yet, Dr. Fauci just lied to Congress. Provable lies. Yet, he is still walking free. Even though Mr. Rand Paul knows he lied, can prove he lied, and has gone on tv to show he, Dr. Fauci, lied. In fact. Mr. Paul called him out on his lies in real time during the hearing. So, how come we have not seen a 3am raid by SWAT on Dr. Fauci? Same crime as Mr. Stone and with more proof that he committed that same crime. Yet….here we are…
And, it once again is happening in Arizona. Oh, meanwhile Portland burns and patriots from January 6th rot in solitare with no charge of any crimes.
The opening views of team USSA, it only gets worse until….
Yeah yeah, another letter threatening legal action.
50 bucks says the Feds come in and confiscate everything…
Biden Plans Expansion Of Feds’ Army Of Snitches In “Dollars For Collars” Program
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-plans-expansion-feds-army-snitches-dollars-collars-program
About the only way you won’t collect on that bet is if the Feds decide to create a diversion instead–you know, “look, squirrel!” They’re debating what to do now.
Otherwise, I honestly don’t see how they don’t swoop in with a couple hundred heavily armed FBI goons and take over the whole thing on–you guessed it–grounds of racial discrimination.
is there any possibility of people in Maricopa County not letting that happen? Such as, a few thousand of them … vs the Feds who might be sent in?
lol
The dark visions continue.
Reality is there are nine states with audits in various forms. Surely the DOJ knows this and know they cannot possibly stop what’s coming.
This is why they should be letting out their findings piecemeal as they get them, instead of all at once after they finish. I hope everything they have found up to now is duplicated in a safe place.
Under what authority? The constitution has spoken. States are in charge of elections. And do they have the right to defy a court order?
Lets keep our hopes up, maybe just once they won’t get away with it, public sentiment is against the Election Officials.
The “shredded ballots” found in the dumpster now takes on a new significance. With the counts being off in individual batches ie the certificate saying 200_ballots vs 185 actual. The question must be addressed are these the missing ballots?!!!! I KNOW these can be reconstructed. An optical scan of each individual shred is made, then the computer solves the jigsaw puzzle. If each individual shred is numbered the physical ballots can be put back together as well. I believe the victims of the holocaust are using this method to reconstruct NAZI death camp files as well as East Germans reconstruction of shredded STAZI files.
I thought the building caught fire with the shredded ballots.

Two barns were destroyed and an estimated165,000 hens died Saturday in a fire at the Hickman’s Family Farms location in Arlington, about an hour west of Phoenix, according to officials.
https://www.maricopa.gov/260/District-4
Clint Hickman, a 4th-generation Arizonan from one of the West Valley’s most prominent families and businesses, was appointed to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors March 21, 2013. Hickman was reelected in 2016 for a four year term. District 4 voters have demanded strong fiscal stewardship starting with Jan Brewer to Max Wilson and now have passed the torch on to Supervisor Hickman.
Clint Hickman is in the pockets of McCains:
District officials worked closely with Clint Hickman, a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, to ask permission of McCain’s wife, Cindy, to name a new elementary school after her late husband. She was excited about the proposal, approved the request, and said she is interested in being involved in the development of the school. She did not indicate any restrictions on the use of his name and school officials said they will be working closely with the community and the McCain family on the school’s design.

One thing that is for sure is that the AZ. SOS Hobbs needs to be impeached and removed from office immediately.
I thought the AZ Attorney General was conservative – a decent gut. Why hasn’t he started proceedings to take SOS Hobbs and the Maricopa County Board out of office for all this fraudulent behavior?!
Do you remember who went on FOX to call AZ for Biden? AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich.
We have “make believe” Republicans from governor down … FAKE republicans. Kelli Ward voiced to many she did NOT want an audit. Patriots pushed and won. It’s Liz Harris who’s a rock star the AZ patriots respect and trust. 🙂
AZ is a RED STATE. It’s the POLITICANS who are compromised.
Arizona 96 mile Trump Train Staging Rally ~ YouTube ~ 10/25/20
BRIAN KEMP
Why? What are YOU afraid of?
I want republicans to win the house in 2022 and immediately launch impeachment against Biden and Harris for election fraud.
seems like an impeachable offense to me.
More like jailed.
She pushed, pushed, and fought for ballot harvesting. Now we can more clearly see WHY!!
“or whether it was always connected to an external database and that is what the Board of Supervisors is really trying to hide”
I’m not sure that this is a practical explanation. It’s possible… but it’s an incredibly complicated setup for such a simple scheme.
Consider: if the database was offsite… does that make the databases recovered locally decoys?
1.) If they’re decoys, why delete them?
2.) If they’re decoys, you need one heck of a process to come up with enough fake database entries to OFFSET the fake votes in the real database… i.e., the “real” vote tally… or the “real fake” vote tally… THAT’S TWO SETS OF FAKE DATA!
You couldn’t avoid the decoy dataset being fake, because some portion of the source votes are themselves fake. THERE IS NO REAL DATASET that matches the votes against the registrations against the obituaries against the signatures against the dot dot dot…
The easiest explanation, IMO, is that The Board tried everything they could to legally stave off the subpoena… got Perkins Coie with their 100 lawyers involved… but the Obama Judge drops the ball (maybe he didn’t get The Memo… dunno), and now you’re REALLY screwed. The only thing you can do at that point is what… cross your fingers and delete the databases? Then you call in Close Air Support from the DOJ, but they show up in a Cessna… and your only final play is Katie Hob Knob on MSNBC? At that point, you have, what one might call, Limited Options.. you’re just gonna hafta take the hit.
Think about it: maybe a couple of folks go to jail for a couple of years… the election stays stolen. Best case scenario for them.
As far as the routers are concerned, it’s more likely they would want to hide ALL traffic in and out, but not necessarily database traffic. You can probably trace connections between the EMS System in the Election Center and Dominion HQ (both easily identified by IP address) — that alone is a hug problem. Perhaps Administrators logging in remotely and doing Fraud Stuff, etc. And maybe even traffic to the company that was dropping off mysterious truckloads of mysterious ballots (likely at most suspicious email traffic, coordinating activities).
Dominion’s running the show on the floor of the Election Center, but you’re probably not futzing with the database in a sweaty back room when you could be sitting in the Air Conditioned comfort of an office in Colorado. Remember: nobody was supposed to be looking at this stuff.
Piddles, remember yesterday the revelation that the primary database was the same exact size as the election database, created the same day as well iirc? Couldn’t this be that decoy?
Hard to know what’s what… they could have temporary databases floating around, test databases, etc. etc. I think one of the more important pieces of info right now are file creation dates, file modification dates (which appear to all be the same date), and the fact that they were recovered as deleted files.
The file sizes shown have a couple of reasonable explanations, though certainly certain seemingly related files being of the same size could be of interest. But again, you need to consider the possibility of data migrations and test databases and whatnot (though test data is typically clearly identified… then again, these people appear to be idiots).
On the file sizes, you could simply be looking at pre-allocated disk space. You don’t want a high-performance database to have to keep going back to the operating system to continuously ask for more disk space… you just pre-allocate in X-sized chunks (megabytes, gigabytes, whatever).
The other thing you could be looking at, depending on how the recovery software works, are “allocation units”, which is somewhat of a low-level view of the file size. Data is stored on disk in multiples of “allocation unit” sizes… 4096 bytes, 8192, … 65,536, etc. That would be a simple explanation for all the files shown being power-of-2 sizes.
If the sizes shown represent allocation units (or even if the file sizes are purposefully aligned with the underlying disk allocation unit size for efficiency), then my guess is all of those sizes are evenly divisible by 65,536. Large chunks of data, as you might find in such a database, can be moved to/from disk more efficiently if you’re moving the chunks in large units. For example: fill a gallon jug with a 16oz. measuring cup vs. a tablespoon.
I believe that the “file size” recorded in the directory entry represents the actual end-of-file point, not the allocation units. While “pre-allocated files” are possible, I would not expect to find them on such a machine.
IF it ends up being that there is no passwords because there is no on site data base and all the information is being stored by dominion elsewhere, then it would likely be the other problem counties in other states would be set up the same way. If Arizona finds that data base they may find the mother lode of all the states election data.
Maybe we should be looking for a major computer operation somewhere that was real busy during the election.
Yep. They are going to demonstrate to every other state where to find the fraud.
Ok, timeline of the password, data base deletion, etc. Maybe caught all players in accidental admissions? AZ audit, knowing database files were deleted, requests passwords from supervisors. Supervisors say they don’t have access or password. Then AZ drops bomb of deleted files. As the girl on GP then noted, if county didn’t have access or passwords, then Dominion must have deleted the files. If a judge doesn’t jump on this open and shut obstruction and destruction of evidence, there really is no rule of law in this country.
And as I noted above a thought, maybe all the Biden 100k+ drops at night were just some of his primary votes they just kept for the general. Real voters, but just t
double voted. Their vote was kept from the primary and then their vote in the general.
What is it Biden did not become President when he had all his faculties, but becomes President when Biden has the qualities of a bubbling idiot? It ought to be all the proof needed that it had to be fraud.
Bet Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani and FoxNews are reshaping their discovery requests
what did Eric Stirewalt know and when did he know it?
I would like to know what was discussed at the board meeting. Will there be minutes published? Did they discuss who will be the scapegoat? Did they meet with attorneys for advice on the next steps for obfuscation and redirection? Media talking points for post testimony press conference? I say arrest the board chairperson and see how fast the truth is out!
It woul be interesting perhaps to learn what attorneys appeared to provide legal advice. If it was the usual roster of lawfare acolytes then the meeting was more strategic than advisory. Wonder if they will all come out with the same story.
Of course it was strategic. Everything with the left is strategic. Probably also photos of kids’ schools and numbered bank accounts as well. Some carrot, some stick. Classic left.
I check in with the group of podcaster guys (Behizy, Neil Johnson, Etc) who have been covering the audits and court cases. A couple are the organizers of their state or county election integrity efforts. Often they do group chats or interview those directly involved like Deperno, Pulitzer, etc.
Anyway, one of them just released some info he has been sitting on from a source. It is connected to recent reports about AZ ballots not matching batch counts.
Explosive, if true.
Anyway, go to about the 6 minute mark for his release and listen to the end.
Keep in mind that when he says “paper” he means “ballot”. They all use similar code so they don’t get banned for using election trigger words for YouTube cancellation.
***********
Cann Con:. Joe doesn’t get it. And I’ve been given permission to drop this news….
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QpPxafP4wjU
Breaking News… excellent.
Its gone, is it posted anywhere else?
That was quick.
What was the information in this video about the “paper”? Video is now unavailable.
His source personally eyeballed one entire box of fake ballots. A box holds 1000 ballots.
Sorry, I actually meant to fill in the gap earlier…
So the video was from YouTube user by the name “Cann Con” who’s been posting his own stuff about the election, and also appearing in live streams with “Neil Johnson”. Basically, a couple of legitimate users providing their own commentary as well as doing shared live stream discussion with folks in NH, GA, Jovan Pulitzer, and other similarly well-known live streamers. So that’s the provider of the info, in case people don’t already know who this guy is.
In the video he talks about an alleged source on the inside of the AZ audit who’s been feeding him info. He claims in the video to have been given a heads up about the missing databases and related issues well before they became public. In my mind this is totally believable given his and others’ roles as fairly well-known conduits with lots of followers. He also hemmed and hawed about releasing the info, but ultimately made the case to his source that it will become public knowledge very soon anyway, as evidenced by the database stuff.
So anyway… his source told him that they found an entire box of illegitimate ballots. He threw out the number 1,000 as a guesstimate for how many ballots we’re talking. I don’t remember the finer detail… for example, did he say “at least one box”? Don’t remember.
IMO, this is very well plausible given what we know about the level of analysis being done on the paper and how long they’ve been on this audit so far. Using Pulitzer’s process with the UV lights, etc., they would likely be able to quickly identify 1000’s of ballots that were obviously filled out by a printer, are not folded, perhaps even comparing the paper stock with a known good ballot… who knows what they found.
So that’s it.
I would think the Senate knew the things they asked for were deleted or faked before asking for it. There’s hundreds of witnesses at every step in the process who provided info. You don’t ask questions in these situations without already knowing the answer. This request and letter exchange is surely for public consumption and to let them hang themselves. Best way to get the info out.
There’s definitely a little Cat ‘n Mouse with the “let’s see if we can get this resolved” stuff.
In fact… I’m thinking that the auditors may already have the admin passwords, but they couldn’t reveal that because they’d be accused of “hacking”.
Consider: if you go back to the Ramsland video from Nov 5th, he talks about all the ways in which the Dominion setup in Texas 2018 was insecure, including system passwords floating around on websites. He also said that his team was able to “get in” to a system over WiFi sitting out in the parking lot.
So if the systemic security issues were never addressed (and they likely weren’t, otherwise you wouldn’t have such egregious systemic security issues to begin with), then the cyber team, by way of Ramsland/ASOG, may already have admin access to the systems. Again, they wouldn’t want to divulge that, though.
BUT… it could also be that knowing the systems were under subpoena for quite a while, that folks went in and changed the admin passwords to make them unique, as opposed to, for example, shared passwords that they’d likely use across multiple state installations, etc.
And when you let out enough rope people hang themselves.
Dominion released a statement that they don’t have too and will not give access to their machines. Or share passwords.
But, Dominion is stupid, the machines are now the property of the state of AZ. The people of AZ own the machines now not Dominion. A purchase order and receipt say as much. As does the transfer of millions of taxpayer dollars to Dominion for that purchase.
And, what are you hiding Dominion? No need to answer- we all know. We all know Dominion. Only cheaters hide.
Yes! Being given more rope.
I found what I believe to be ‘CannCon’ channel on Rumble…..
https://rumble.com/c/c-390965
I didn’t see anything resembling your recount of this video but there is some court proceedings related to the audit from May 10. Also, I noted the channel operator was interviewed on a number of other channels there, perhaps a search might tease up more information.
I’ve found Rumble and BitChute content to remain more stable and less censored and authors appear to be publishing in those spaces more and more. Rumble does have a live-stream beta in place but I believe it is limited to certain content creators.
video removed!
Casting doubt on the “inexperienced” technology personnel is hilariously arrogant. Likely, the membership of that board consists of people whose friends and family were owed favors and who rely regularly on their teenaged relatives to help them with their smartphones.
They’re not only arrogant. Don’t forget Dominion’s AntiFa Eric Coomer “I’ll stop him”
And Dominion CEO John Poulos lying under oath to the Michigan Legislature – theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/05/10/may-10th-2021-presidential-politics-resistance-day-111/#comment-7752907
I wouldn’t get to excited about much of anything here.. We’re on a count down to the final word of “inclusive” followed by innuendos at best.
As planned, both parties will be happily satisfied with that.
This was the issue from the beginning here, with no actual goals set (criteria) you can simply end the audit 1/3 of the way through.
Watch and see ..
Wow. Funny how you find it necessary to repost that same comment numerous times on the thread.
He’s troll!!!
I’m watching your comments get more and more negative. You are a troll! Only here to sow negativity. Get lost!!!!!!!
Unfounded allegations and inexperienced technology personnel.
Well, they did find files were deleted, and discrepancies between ballot counts and the pink slips seems well founded to me, but what do I know.
Let’s hear the noob mistakes they are supposed to have made. Did they connect the transducer to the flux capacitor or something?
It’s easy to find out if the db was deleted or never there.
I think they probably know already.
This is an excellent theory but it may not have Biden’s votes they re-used for the general election, it may have been Liz Warren’s. Sidney Powell commented soon after the election that AZ’s election was seeded with 35,000 Biden votes before the voting even began. According to Wikipedia, Liz Warren won 35,537 votes in the primary. These may have been “write-in votes” that were “adjudicated”
Sorry, I posted to wrong article Was supposed to be on the previous article re the size of the deleted files.
Current events seem to correlate with Powell’s statements months ago.
Kelli Ward has done an exceptional job at pressing the Maricopa County audit. Without her, it would be hard to imagine navigating through all the obstacles of the cowards of their county.
The whole audit is d o a. all evidence has been destroyed and nothing will be done about it.
Maybe you want to read a few articles first.
Another TROLL!!!! Troll alert!!!
Understand also that Dominion has raised their middle finger regarding providing the passwords to the machines.
Let me know when it’s Ceaucescu time.
Ahhh yes…I can smell the Bosnian BBQ right now……ZIPPO?
When the access to the venue runs out, just seize the machines (which I suggested back in November 2020). Take them to an “undisclosed location.” And get the addresses of where the Dominion personnel – executives – reside.
Very fun to read the text of the notice letter – “these allegations were made by the inexperienced technology personnel …”
Despite their “funny” name, these “Ninjas” are among the very best in that business. The Arizona Senate chose wisely.
Yes, there’s nothing quite like “turning the lights on in the kitchen” to find out where the cockroaches are hiding . . .
CodeMonkey is reporting the deleted files have been retrieved. This weekend and all of next week should be fun.
Take CodeMonkey (Ron Watkins) with a spoon of salt. He and his dad, Jim, like to play games.
Clearly, the Maricopa County supervisors ran a clean election and fully complied with all laws, rules, and regulations. That’s why they’ve been 100% transparent and cooperative with the audit. They have nothing to hide, and their actions prove it.
JK.
I am on cloud 9 today. Discovering that they were using a tool RT-Tools to do what I have been doing to recover old hard drives since 1999 is so cool. The techo geek wokes have no clue about disk partitions. They might be able to code, but the software does all the work. When I use to program, we only had 512k to work with including the OS. We had to add an expansion board to get to 640 K.
I bet these techogeeks of today could not change the oil in their cars or change a tire.
My first computer was a [KIM-1] circuit board. Which I still have.
It’s funny to me to see how things “have come full circle,” with Arduinos and such. Once again, we’re playing with circuit boards.

Was this the Arizona story in 2016, 2012, 2008 etc???
And Arizona has been a “Republican” state since forever
Just like the depth of corruption Trump exposed, I now imagine the depth, breadth and timespan of election corruption across the country will turn out to be breathtaking.
All of us owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Arizona State Senate. They are “the first domino.” They’re also a criminal’s worst nightmare. The party that’s pursuing you to uncover what you actually did is not a mere private-citizen plaintiff, but the Government of your State, “with all powers thereunto appertaining.” In other words –“you’re royally screwed.”
18. Trump-hating Pamela Karlan running interference from DOJ HQ.
If the Republicans in Arizona don’t grow a pair and start acting like determined adults, and soon, this exercise will lead to nowhere.
The Maricopa BOS has been hiding or destroying evidence ever since the election. It’s clearly illegal behavior and NO law enforcement entity is even remotely interested?? WTH?? Unbelievable! I’m sure the DO”J” and FBI-L is way too busy tracking down the Capitol trespassers to even care about mundane and unimportant issues like STOLEN ELECTIONS!
Oh, I’m pretty sure that the State Senate is not playing games here. They’re not an ordinary plaintiff: they’re the Government of the State itself. They’ve got subpoena power of their own. They’re scrupulously following the law (ARS Title 16, Article 13, et seq.) that they co-wrote. They’re spending an extraordinary amount of time and money to conduct a much more thorough audit than they technically need to. No. This is the criminals’ worst nightmare. And there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Very obviously, we need “open source” election software – and an equally-open surrounding process – which is professionally designed and peer-reviewed. All that I’ve seen of Dominion’s system, and of what it purportedly allows anyone to do, is utter and complete nonsense. You could never deploy a financial system or a medical-records system that worked like that, due to “toothy” Federal laws such as Sarbanes-Oxeley (“SarbOx”) and HIPAA, both of which have been thoroughly and professionally designed with strong input from data-security and crypto professionals. (Yes, “your tax dollars at work.”) This software, and the human and mechanical processes which surround it, is entirely devoid of data-integrity controls, accountability, data-security, proper use of cryptography, and on and on and on. Like I said, “it’s pure nonsense.” This company should not have any customers anywhere.
The only thing you need to vote is a paper ballot
