Actually it is not. The Arizona GOP is arguing Cyber Ninja has no duty to safeguard the privacy of Arizona votes and doesn't need to comply with state law regardingMy point being that I mistyped.
They are arguing they have no duty to comply with anything. WTF is so complicated about this?
I'm ginning nothing, it's a valid point. Dispute it if you wish. I'm perfectly fine with pointing out the hypocrisy on the right as well.No, I get it. You're ginning up a slight where non existed because you feel the need to let everyone know that it's not "fair" that the treaty wasn't touted as "epic."
No need to explain, I understand precisely what you were implying. Thanks for the clarification, nonetheless.
Your buddy @VolinWayne, argued in post #338 to this thread that:No **** they have an agenda, how long did it take for you to figure that out Sherlock?
Your buddy @VolinWayne, argued in post #338 to this thread that:
"This is the most thorough and transparent audit ever done."
... and he also said that:
"This audit is how all audits should be done."

Okay, I fixed your typo. Are the voters' privacy in arizona at risk in an audit? If not, are safeguards necessary? What are the state laws which govern an audit? Are those the laws which govern a recount? Does an audit have the same teeth as a recount?
It bothers me how blatant it is. Republicans in Arizona are not even trying to give the appearance of legitimacy to this audit of theirs. Doug Logan was literally writing crazy a$$ Kraken Sidney Powell's propaganda for her. And now his company is in charge of auditing the same election that he has already called rigged? Are you kidding me?I would be interested in seeing a survey of the percentage of people who take any of this **** seriously.

That's not entirely accurate. How would you quantify the effects of refusing to purge voter rolls or inaccurate data or any other issue unless you actually peel it back to see how often it occurs? As someone who deals in finance and audit processes daily, I can tell you that abnormalities aren't visible from the bottom line and are rarely visible in the P&L."Weakness areas" are apparent without an "audit"
As I don't trust either party to actually do anything about it, I won't disagree here.and if we're being intellectually honest - we can both recognize that this is just fodder for continuing to undermine the general election process.
Just as it was when Dominion was blamed for changing votes. Just as it was in every single hollow, unprovable failed accusation of 'cheating" was levied.
Calling it an "audit" instead of a "recount" doesn't change what's going on. If you think an "audit" would still be occurring and "necessary" to find "weakness areas" if had Trump won, you're fooling yourself - this is all sour grapes.
How can I seek victim status for a party and people I don't support? Are you claiming that if a Democrat had secured this treaty it wouldn't be considered a major accomplishment and been lauded?The very fact that you're having to point out your assumption of what you believed would happen is the very essence of "ginning up" outrage.
You've taken something that objectively didn't happen, applied your feelings as if it had and called it "hypocrisy."
You do get why this is not a solid argument and why I'm making fun of the victim status you're seeking, right?
This is the type of quip that sounds really great when you share them with colleagues but is utter horse manure.You don't argue you don't need to comply with the law if you are complying.
Same logic, why fight an audit if nothing bad happened? Gah... Foiled.This is the type of quip that sounds really great when you share them with colleagues but is utter horse manure.
You have yet to show audit and recount are the same event. You have yet to show an audit has law with which auditors need to comply.
I am looking for some honesty today. It may be too much to ask, tbh.
You seem to have a problem with Arizona's election audit. You don't believe that their state legislation who is charged by our constitution to preside over their elections, has the right to audit or investigate it how they see fit? You're right on many things, but contradict yourself here.You're barking up the wrong tree fella.

I mispoke regarding the GOPs argument. It was regarding an audit. I thought we had cleared that up. The constitutional rights of citizens must always be safeguarded. You guys are making this way too complicated.
The GOP is not arguing there is no law with which they need to comply. They are arguing they don't have a duty to comply with the law. And again, it is not an argument you make while complying with the law.
You’ve really got to stop destroying the “orange man bad” trope. You’re hurting their feelings.On #1 you can look at the number of mRNA vaccines approved prior to this and any number of articles describing the medical miracle that occurred.
On #2 and #3 you are exposing your lack of understanding large scale investment by businesses. Trump de-risked Pfizer throwing resources at this. He guaranteed $2 billion in revenue prior to an approved vaccine AND removed the risk of billions in product liability lawsuits. It became a no-brainer, low-risk strategic decision for Pfizer to throw massive resources at this. Germany deserves credit to for incentivizing BioNTech as well.
