(Olivier Touron – AFP / Getty Images) A Democrat who is also Arizona’s top elections official added one more layer to the controversial audit of Maricopa County’s voting machines Thursday by claiming the machines can never be used again.
Arizona’s Republican-majority state Senate ordered the audit, which is being performed by Cyber Ninjas, a firm hired by the Senate.
Maricopa County officials battled against the audit, but in the end were forced to give way after a subpoena ordering the machines to be provided was upheld in court.
Roughly 2 million ballots and 385 tabulators are still being reviewed, according to The Epoch Times .
On Thursday, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs wrote to the county to explain having the GOP-appointed firm inspect the machines has ruined them in terms of any further use.
“I have grave concerns regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given that the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas’ control,” Hobbs said in the letter .
“Indeed, such loss of custody constitutes a cyber incident to critical infrastructure — an event that could jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information or information systems.”

She wrote officials with the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency “advised that once election officials lose custody and control over voting systems and components, those devices should not be reused in future elections.”
“Instead, the County should acquire new machines to ensure secure and accurate elections in Maricopa County going forward.”After praising the security procedures of Maricopa County , Hobbs said “once the subpoenaed machines were turned over to the Senate and Cyber Ninjas, it is unclear what, if any, procedures were in place or followed to ensure physical security and proper chain of custody.”She said the concerns were based on media reports and the fact “No election official or expert observer designated by my Office was allowed to remain with […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
