AZ Secretary Of State Candidate Mark Finchem: National Association Of Secretaries Of State Aim To “Prevent A Maricopa-Style Forensic Audit From EVER Happening AGAIN.”

Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem, an Arizona audit warrior, published a statement yesterday responding to those who seek to seize our right to scrutinize elections.

Mark Finchem is running for Arizona Secretary of State in 2022.

The National Association of Secretaries of State held its 2021 Summer Meeting with swampy Secretaries of State from around the Country.

Some of the members include Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Michigan’s Jocelyn Benson, Georgia’s Brad Raffensperger, and Colorado’s Jena Griswold to name some of the worst.

Politico reports,

The National Association of Secretaries of State approved a series of recommendations for audits aimed at combating Arizona-style, slapdash reviews of the 2020 election and future races.

The guidelines also call for auditors to be wary of third-party involvement, saying outside participants should be determined prior to the election and work closely with election officials.

These Secretaries don’t want to use third-party vendors. They have too much at stake letting anybody but a handpicked, closely related vendor scrutinize the election they ran.

They continue to claim that an audit was already performed in Arizona and other states. These were fraudits, performed by hand-picked and uncertified vendors, which are actually the companies used to certify the machines are safe to use BEFORE the election. They were just “checking” their own work.

Who else wonders why no Secretaries of State have come out in support of a full forensic election audit in their state? Do they not care about election integrity? Or do they have something to hide?

Mark Finchem is running for Arizona Secretary of State and he supports full forensic audits and full election transparency. Finchem released the following statement on the matter.

REP. MARK FINCHEM RESPONDS TO THOSE WHO SEEK TO PREVENT FORENSIC AUDITS OF ELECTIONS WHERE THERE ARE CONTROVERSIES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUST 25, 2021, Oro Valley, AZ

A few days ago the National Association of Secretaries of State, at their summer meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, approved recommendations for elections audits. Their goal was, “to create guidelines that would prevent a Maricopa-style forensic audit from ever happening again.” Only West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner voted against the recommendations, and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft abstained.
