@truthbeyond3624 Sigh... So... You can't come up with an adult rebuttal and, instead, decide to try and call me a Boo Boo head, vaguely reference some fantasized cherry picked argument, decide to be, both, super Ironic and dramatic, and then finally, try and throw in a little shoot the messenger, to highlight the fact that you know you could not present an effective argument against the actual message.... And you thought that was a good idea, why?

@truthbeyond3624 "This specific claim can be found at the start of Volume III of the draft report. (That’s the volume that actually delineates the claims. The preceding two “volumes” are fairly short.) In short, the final list of voters who cast mail-in ballots in 2020 was compared to a commercial database of people who moved between households. It found that about 15,000 people had moved elsewhere in Maricopa County before the registration deadline, an additional 1,700 who moved elsewhere in the state and about 6,600 who moved out of state.
What the review did not do is verify that the database results were correct, pointing out that “a small percentage of error is expected within these results.” It did not determine that those who might have moved were ineligible to vote. It acknowledged that “it may be possible for [the voter] to receive a ballot, for example, if they know the present occupant, or if the ballot is improperly forwarded” to them. In its report, the team leading the review, called Cyber Ninjas, recommended that the county do more research."

@truthbeyond3624 “Voters who voted in multiple counties totaled 10,342, and 2,382 ballots came from people who no longer lived in Maricopa County.” Here Trump considers two separate claims.
In the first, he’s elevating a section of the review that found more than 10,000 instances in which people with the same first, middle and last names and the same birth years had cast ballots in more than one county. On its surface, this seems significant. But when I opened up Arizona’s voter file Friday morning (data collected by the firm L2), I quickly found that there were four John Smiths living in Arizona who are reported as being 43 years old. Two of them live in Maricopa County. This took me about 30 seconds.
Again we see the same pattern: elevation of something that could be considered questionable without actually resolving it. And, again, Trump seizing upon it as proof of his point.
As for the 2,382 ballots, this was essentially the in-person-voter version of the effort to match cast ballots against that commercial database of people who had moved. It’s not clear that these voters even moved, that they cast votes improperly, that they cast votes illegally or that they cast votes for Biden. Just another bit of doubt elevated in the review that Trump tacks onto his case.

@truthbeyond3624 “There were also 2,592 ‘more duplicate ballots than original ballots.’ ” This cryptic assertion, unexplained by Trump, is another discrepancy in metrics. In cases where a ballot cannot be read by an electronic voting machine, it is duplicated to be scanned. The county said it duplicated about 28,000 ballots, but the Cyber Ninjas counted about 27,000 ballots that were supposed to be duplicated and about 29,500 duplicates.
What does this mean? Good question. Maybe the Cyber Ninjas miscounted. Maybe the county did. Maybe something got lost in the shuffle. Maybe something else happened. There is no evidence presented that this indicates that too many votes were tallied or even that too many votes were duplicated. It’s just a number, offered among many other numbers, as part of a review initiated to raise questions about voting in the 2020 election.
