Officials believe this will be daunting for any audit firm, citing the need for secure facilities and substantial manpower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had to do recounts in the past, on just doing it, running them through the machines. It is a nightmare, we\u2019re talking about over 2 million ballots,\u201d Helen Purcell, former Maricopa County recorder said. \u201cHow that\u2019s going to be accomplished and what period of time, I have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Update on the full, detailed audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AZSenate?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AZSenate<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Audit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Audit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0HHfPuGKex\">pic.twitter.com\/0HHfPuGKex<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AZSenateRepublicans (@AZSenateGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AZSenateGOP\/status\/1372608251209019394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>State senators stressed constituents are still skeptical about the integrity of the election.
