Ten questions the Arizona election audit could answer Friday

Ten months after the bitterly contested 2020 election, the Arizona Senate's long-anticipated forensic audit of ballots in the state's largest county will be released Friday during a live-streaming event certain to rekindle the passionate debate in America over voting integrity.

Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, will be briefed at 1 p.m. EDT in public on the findings from Cyber Ninjas and CyFIR, two contractors hired by the Senate to inspect voting machines and review the 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, home to the city of Phoenix.

President Joe Biden was declared the winner in that state by a narrow 10,000 votes last November.

Fann told Just the News earlier this summer she did not expect the audit to turn up evidence of widespread fraud that would warrant overturning the election results in that battleground state, but rather she anticipated finding ways to make voting and ballot counting easier, safer and more trusted by the public.
