But she also said that she\u2019s uncertain how wide the apparent discrepancy is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey haven\u2019t released a number yet, if you will, however, we do know that those numbers do not match with Maricopa County at this point,\u201d Fann, a Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/ktar.com\/story\/4564937\/sen-fann-says-audit-ballot-totals-dont-match-maricopa-countys-numbers\/\">told<\/a> KTAR News 92.3 FM\u2019s The Mike Broomhead Show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not know,\u201d she responded when asked how far off she was told the counts are. \u201cThey have not told me the number.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After numerous delays, the results of the audit are expected to be released at the end of July, if not August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are finishing up \u2014 the vendor is finishing up what we call the aggregation: double-checking the spreadsheets against the blue tally sheets, against the scans they did on the ballots,\u201d Fann said.<\/p>\n<p>After the possibility of a count discrepancy was suggested, Fann said that\u2019s when lawmakers moved to \u201cget a couple of our own independent machines in, not Dominion\u2019s, separate ones, and do our own independent \u2014 and all we\u2019re doing is just counting the number of ballots. It\u2019s a paper-counting machine is all it does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat will help us give like a third check-and-balance to see if those numbers are closer to the vendors\u2019 numbers or Maricopa County\u2019s or they all three could be right on target.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominion has not issued a reaction to Fann\u2019s comments, but the company\u2019s website emphasizes its work with Maricopa County, Arizona, \u201cfor more than a decade.\u201d Dominion has a post on its website that reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9.4475138121547\">\n<p><em>FACT CHECK:&nbsp;More than a thousand independent audits and recounts since Election Day in November 2020 have demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of Dominion systems.&nbsp; Maricopa County has already conducted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maricopa.gov\/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post-election audits<\/a> using accredited, independent lab experts and clear, lawful procedures that were observable by bipartisan witnesses and the public.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>House Democrats announced Thursday that they would be beginning an investigation into private vote auditing company Cyber Ninjas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/14\/house-democrats-probe-arizona-election-audit-by-cyber-ninjas.html\">according to NBC News<\/a>. Members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors have also questioned Cyber Ninjas. Fann has been quick to say that Cyber Ninjas hasn\u2019t been alone in analyzing the data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m confident because it\u2019s not just them,\u201d Fann said, referring to Cyber Ninjas. \u201cEverybody keeps just counting on them when actually they are working with a number of other contractors that have experience in audits and in their expertise in their own fields. \u2026 This is a joint effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo I think that it\u2019s gone as smoothly as it could have?\u201d the Republican added. \u201cHeck, no. This is the first time in the history of our nation that anybody has done an audit of this magnitude. And so, quite honestly, we are doing a lot of things, triple-checking, just to make sure that this is all correct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-doj-attempts-to-stop-arizona-election-audit\">Biden Department Of Justice Attempts To Stop Maricopa County, Arizona Election&nbsp;Audit<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2-1-million-ballot-count-in-arizona-election-audit-completed\">2.1 Million Ballot Count In Arizona Election Audit&nbsp;Completed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
