1. Justthenews is not a reliable news source. It deals in conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation, and promotes "The Big Lie"
2. A friend of mine once told me that John Solomon is not a journalist's arse-hole... but I jumped to John's defence and said that he is.
3. The alleged 19,000 invalid ballots is pure fiction. This was product of the laughable
"Cyber Ninjas" so called
"election audit" - an audit carried out by a partisan Trump supporting group of conspiracy theorists who spent much of their time looking for bamboo fibres in a lame effort to prove that fake ballot papers came from China
This bunch of morons, even with their obvious partisan bias, even though they kicked out any observers to monitor what they were doing, still managed to find that Biden had won 360 more votes than the county had awarded him in the official count!!
The claim about the alleged 19,000 invalid votes comes from Cyber Ninjas' complete ignorance.
Their first claim was that so-called invalid mail-in ballots had come from people who had moved. They had drawn that conclusion after analyzing names and years of birth,
with the help of a third-party commercial database. Yes, you read that correctly - they didn't use the electoral rolls, they used a commercial advertising database. These idiots failed to understand that Maricopa is Arizona's most populous county. They ignored the reality that in such a large county, there will be multiple people with the same name, born in the same year. When county officials reviewed their findings, they used more data, including full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, state-issued IDs, presidential election voting histories, signatures and, in some cases, parents' last names and voters' occupations. They ended up with a different number..... three. Three invalid ballots were counted.
Their second claim was that late arriving ballots were counted that should not have been. Again, this comes from complete ignorance of how elections are run, in this case based on a total lack of knowledge or understanding of Arizona's early-voting laws and how ballot envelopes had been scanned. Under Arizona election laws, ballot requests must be received by 5pm, eleven days before Election Day, and the voted ballots must be received back by 7pm on Election Day. They are NOT scanned until some time after 7pm election day. The Cyber Ninjas morons thought that they had to be scanned
on election day, so they declared any ballots not scanned by midnight on election day
"invalid", even though they were still counting votes well into the next day!!
There is a lesson for you here, which you will, of course, ignore. You conspiracy theorists talk a big game about
"doing your own research"... but it seems you haven't done any at all. It took me about five minutes to find the information I needed to debunk your bull-****
