During the Arizona Senate hearing, CyFIR CEO Ben Cotton said dominion machines in Maricopa County were connected to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Maricopa County officials have continued to resist the state Senate\u2019s subpoena to turn over the voting machine routers. Arizona Republicans claimed internet routers, chain of custody records and images of mail-in ballots have yet to be turned over to the auditors.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, auditors have yet to reveal the scope of the fraud, including both ballots and electronic equipment along with their assessment on whether it changed election outcomes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Arizona Audit meeting at AZ State Senate reveals Maricopa County still has not provided many materials needed for complete audit \u2013 including routers, chain of custody, and images of mail in ballots<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ArizonaAudit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ArizonaAudit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AmericasAudit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AmericasAudit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ElectionIntegrity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ElectionIntegrity<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arizona Republican Party (@AZGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AZGOP\/status\/1415749627161190403?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cotton said last year\u2019s elections were not secure. \u201cThe registration server that was public facing did have unauthorized access to that, in cybersecurity terms, it was breached,\u201d said Cotton.<\/p>\n<p>Following the hearing, Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward went on to highlight there is a significant number of potentially fraudulent votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also learned that according to the written records, there were about 74,000 mail-in ballots that were received by the county, but there is no record that they were ever sent out,\u201d said Ward. \u201cThere were also nearly 4,000 people who were shown as having voted on election day, but their registration date is after Oct. 15, 2020, which was the deadline for registering to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden purportedly won Arizona by less than 11,000 votes, which is much less than the amount of potential fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, state senators are preparing additional subpoenas to get a hold of those materials.
