A Maricopa County Republican Party leader has refused to sign off on a post-election examination of election equipment.
"My primary reason for not signing this test is I feel the test is largely obligatory, and is not a comprehensive test of their preparedness," she said. Political party representatives are invited to observe pre- and post-election testing of equipment. The Democrat who took part said she had absolute confidence in the election results.
"I have no doubt that the ballots will go through the central count tabulator with flying colors," she said."I have participated in two hand count audits where the results of these tabulators were confirmed by the bipartisan hand count teams." She said limited testing has been a"growing concern" of hers since she attended her first tabulator testing in 2021.
"The only intent of that team is to make sure that every vote on every ballot is counted and that the intent of the voter is honored," she said."I have full faith in this team. I have full faith in the process."Arizona law mandates that political party observers must be given the opportunity to observe logic and accuracy testing, per the state'sThe law says nothing about all observers needing to sign off on the testing to certify election results.
