After five months of fighting the Republican Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the Democrat Establishment, and several liberal special interest groups, the Arizona Senate finally won in court and got the “go ahead” to conduct the largest forensic election audit ever conducted in the country.

Their reward was six more months of fighting the same parties, this time in the press, who ridiculed and lied about the audit process, questioned the auditors’ credibility, and smeared them across the nation calling the audit a joke.
