He showed the press the positions of all nine cameras stationed around the coliseum, which are all tasked with the purpose of ensuring accountability of the process.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2402246\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2402246\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2402246 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-3435.jpeg\" alt=\"FILE--In this Nov. 4, 2014, file photo, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett speaks at the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix.

He said protocols are in place to ensure that the integrity of the presidential and senatorial elections in Maricopa County is maintained.<\/p>\n<p>John Brakey, the co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auditelectionsusa.org\/\">Audit USA<\/a>, said the count was necessary to help reestablish America\u2019s trust in the electoral process while dismissing claims that counting ballots was in any way a violation of the right to a secret vote.<\/p>\n<p>The presser got a bit heated when a reporter started accusing Logan of using a double standard by checking the auditors social media for potential political affiliation or opinion on the election while routinely posting about election fraud on his social media. The unnamed reporter\u2019s attempt to catch Logan off-guard was quickly dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Logan said he will be more than happy to prove the system is non-partisan, adding he simply wants a free and fair election. In the meantime, auditors will be sifting through the more than 2 million ballots over the next six weeks to finally get to the truth of what happened in November.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HAPPENING NOW: Ballots are getting delivered for the AZ 2020 election audit. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/unBnk4pQzT\">pic.twitter.com\/unBnk4pQzT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Christina Bobb (@christina_bobb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/christina_bobb\/status\/1385266889526374405?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Tune in to One America News for LIVE reports throughout the weekend.
