AUDIT USA has developed ballot image auditing instructions and tools to ensure transparency in the 2020 election. We must know that votes are counted correctly!
AUDIT is fighting nationwide — and especially in key states and counties — to have local election officials implement specific steps for this November’s elections that will bring transparency to the 2020 election vote tabulation process. This is one area of focus among many for the individuals and organizations fighting to maintain and strengthen the foundation of our democracy. To learn more about the many efforts underway to protect our rights to elect our leaders, or to volunteer in these efforts, please visit Scrutineers.org. Scrutineers trains volunteers and then connects them with others in their communities, including how to do ballot image auditing.
You can help the United States have transparent and publicly verified elections.
If you would like to learn more about ballot image auditing, or would like to financially support this work, read on!
AUDIT USA’s work often entails filing lawsuits against election officials who do not follow federal requirements to maintain election materials — including scanned ballot images — for 22 months. Many lawyers assist us at no cost, but we must raise funds to cover filing fees and other expenses. You can support ballot image auditing by making a contribution.
You can read detailed information about ballot image auditing by selecting any of the options under “Ballot Image Project” in the menu at the top. And learn more about AUDIT USA.
We post updates on our current work on the AUDIT USA Facebook page. Below are our three most recent posts.
Vote counting is not a matter of left or right, but of right or wrong!
My good friend did real good: Excerpt Slate: How did Bennett’s testimony go for the GOP? Bennett actually contradicted Republican committee members who suggested the partisan review’s principal finding was possible fraud. In fact, the GOP’s own witness—the Republican official most directly responsible for the audit—rejected Trump’s false claims that the audit proved that he had won in Arizona.
It’s notable, though, that Bennett refused to repeat the suggestion of the auditors who didn’t show up to testify under oath that Trump, and not Biden, had won in Arizona.
Rep. Ro Khanna used his time to note the significance of Bennett’s testimony. Once again, Bennett acknowledged that the partisan review affirmed the final outcome in Maricopa County, contrary to Donald Trump’s claims:
Khanna: Mr. Bennett, given your statement, did Cyber Ninjas’ hand count show that Joe Biden won more votes than Donald Trump in Maricopa County?
Bennett: Yes. …
Khanna: Do you think Joe Biden is the legitimately elected president?
Bennett: Yes.
Khanna: So, when President Trump says, “We won the Arizona forensic audit yesterday at a level that you wouldn’t believe,” and said of President Biden, “He didn’t win Arizona, he lost in Arizona based on the forensic audit,” that is false, correct? … That is not a true statement, correct?
Bennett: I would not characterize it that way. I was asked by the Senate to be the liaison to the Maricopa audit. The Maricopa audit found that the results were very similar to what Maricopa County canvassed in the official results.
Khanna: Anyone, including the former president, who is saying that the audit somehow suggests that Donald Trump won the Arizona election, that would be a wrong and false interpretation of the audit, correct?
Bennett: I would say that he’s probably making that statement based on his opinions of other things in the audit. I can’t begin to …
Khanna: But it’s not your characterization of the audit?
Bennett: Correct.
For good measure, Khanna followed up to confirm that Bennett and the “auditors” hadn’t found anything in their “paper analysis” of the ballots that would have materially changed the outcome of the election in Arizona.
Khanna: There was no evidence that the paper ballots had been tampered with, correct?
Bennett: I did witness on the floor of the audit that there were some paper ballots that were of concern as to whether they were authentic, so to say that none, I think would be incorrect.
Khanna: But none that would materially affect your judgment [in] your earlier testimony that you thought President Biden legitimately got more votes than President Trump, correct?
Bennett: It would not change that outcome, correct.
Finally, Bennett acknowledged that Cyber Ninjas ought to abide by court orders and congressional requests to turn over documents and appear for questioning. Logan, the Cyber Ninjas CEO, has so far refused.
Khanna: So far Cyber Ninjas has refused to provide any meaningful documents to this committee and it turned over just four documents [as part of] a [separate] court order. You seem like someone who believes in the rule of law. Do you believe that Cyber Ninjas should obey court orders and requests from Congress?
Bennett: Yes.
I have been incredibly skeptical of Bennett’s past statements about the partisan review, which I thought were misleading and mischaracterized. Bennett often refused to acknowledge the actual work that Cyber Ninjas was doing to undermine the election. But it’s notable that when Bennett was called before Congress and sworn under oath to testify, he told the actual truth: Joe Biden won the election in Arizona, and a months long, multimillion-dollar effort paid for and conducted by Trump allies could find no evidence to the contrary
Why the Cyber Ninjas CEO Skipped the Oversight Hearing on His Own Audit in Arizona

His absence confirms the main goal of the hyperpartisan review: to cast doubt on our election integrity and pave the way for future interference.AUDIO: Brakey bite back! "We have known him for many years as the longtime progressive election transparency advocate JOHN BRAKEY of AUDIT-USA. Brakey joined us previously at the beginning of the "audit" for an insider view, and as it continued on for months past its initially planned three weeks, after comments of his taken out of context by a local reporter went viral, reporting that Brakey was looking for bamboo in the ballots, suggesting they were fraudulent and stuffed into the ballot box by China (as many in the MAGA set falsely claimed). In fact, as the later posted full context of his remarks reveals, Brakey was explaining what the Ninjas believed, not him, and that he was participating in the effort in hopes of "ungaslighting" the public about false and otherwise evidence-free claims being made by Trump supporters about the election results.

Guest: Maricopa 'audit' insider and 'bamboo guy' John Brakey of AUDIT-USA; Also: Congressional GOP pushing the U.S. government toward default and global economic disaster...It's almost over; since the beginning of the Maricopa audit, I believe that facts would come out, and it will all add up to show Joe Biden really won. Soon we will know if I’m right. But it helps when Patrick Byrne, the key funder for the Maricopa audit with $3.2 million, suggests that the Arizona Senate is rejecting the conspiratorial narratives put forth by Doug ‘Anon’ Logan. As well as Logan’s subcontractors and partisan allies like Vote Liz Harris on FB. Trump’s endless claims of a stolen election led to an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

We all need to be part of the solution of transparency to heal our country by making elections transparent, with simple robust, inexpensive audit system that we all can trust and believe in for our democracy to thrive!
In Arizona, the actual act of voting is the secret process; however, counting is a public process!
Ballot images are a public record that could prove if elections are real or not! No more looking for a needle in a haystack. Marry the ballot to the digital ballot image, and turn ballot storage into a ballot library.
Millions of dollars have been fleeced from the Trump Sheeple over the Big Lie.
How do grifters milk the Trump Sheeple?
They pretend to know what they're talking about, claim the election was stolen, and ask for donations.
It's pretty easy to do when you have a sitting president also arguing it was stolen.
