Remember that Republican-led 2020 presidential election audit in Arizona conducted by Cyber Ninjas? Well, the results are in.

You may never read or hear about this story on Republican/MAGA/QAnon news sites and TV stations, so hold onto your hats. That’s because Cyber Ninjas quietly announced last Friday that despite Donald Trump’s claims to the contrary, it found ZERO discrepancies in the Arizona election results that they hoped would have tilted the state in Trump’s favor.
But wait, there’s more.
According to the 110-page Cyber Ninjas report, the audit discovered that not only did Donald Trump legitimately lose the Arizona election to Joe Biden, but he lost by 261 MORE votes than he originally thought. Additionally, President Biden ended up receiving 99 MORE votes than Arizona had originally awarded him.
Ouch!
“What has been found is both encouraging and alarming,” the Cyber Ninja report read. “On the positive side, there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the ballots provided and the official canvass results for the County. This is an important finding because of concerns ahead of the audit.”
Or, in other words, the recount that Donald Trump and Republicans inside the Arizona state senate insisted would reveal Biden stole the election turned out to be BS — and, Joe Biden was actually the first Democrat to win in Maricopa County since President Harry S. Truman in 1948.
The Cyber Ninjas audit was a joke from the start. Not only is the company not federally accredited by the US Election Assistance Commission to administer any sort of legitimate election review, but their recount was conducted in secret by Trump-loving sycophants who studied each ballot under special lights because they were convinced the ballots were faked, contained bamboo fibers, and were flown in from Asia in order to cheat Trump out of his hard-earned victory.
“The [original] tabulation equipment counted the ballots as they were designed to do, and the results reflect the will of the voters,” Maricopa County Board Chairman Jack Sellers said in critique of the Cyber Ninjas recount.
“This should be the end of the story,” he continued. “Everything else is just noise.”
Too bad Sellers won’t get his wish.
After receiving the bad news from Arizona that he really did lose the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump demanded that Republican Gov. George Abbott conduct his own recount in Texas. Hmmm…
Sharp minds might recognize that Trump’s demands are nothing more than a veiled attempt to shift the conversation and save face from his proven Arizona loss — particularly since ‘The Donald’ won the State of Texas by 5 percentage points leaving zero need for a recount in the lone star state.
Oh, Donald! You’re becoming so predictable.
CNBC: Rather than finding that Trump defeated President Joe Biden in the competitive swing state’s most populous county, Cyber Ninjas tallied 99 additional votes for Biden and 261 fewer votes for Trump than previously counted, according to The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the draft. “That should be the end of the story. Everything else is just noise,” Jack Sellers, chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement. “But I’m sure it won’t be,” he added, predicting that his board will be accused in the report of failing to cooperate with Cyber Ninjas. “How could we cooperate with an inquiry that was led by people who have no idea how to run any election, let alone one in the second largest voting district in the United States?” Trump, in a statement Friday morning, claimed the media was misrepresenting Cyber Ninjas’ findings, saying, “I… Read more »
