Arizona Recount

This from Richard Cronin:

Go Grand Canyon State, Go ! Lead the way, Arizona !!

Re: the recount in Maricopa County, Arizona. Maricopa County Supreme Court Judge Daniel Martin has filled the place of Judge Coury who recused himself from the case.

"A judge hearing a challenge to voter privacy policies during the Republican-cont rolled Arizona Senate's recount of 2.1 million 2020 election ballots in the county that includes metro Phoenix said Tuesday he is not convinced voter secrecy is being upheld.

The comment from Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin came at the end of a lengthy hearing where he also declined to extend a previous judge's order that auditors hired by the Senate comply with state voter privacy laws -- at least until he hears more at a hearing on Wednesday.

"I will share with you all, I am not yet persuaded that there has been a showing that the rights of the voters in Maricopa County are being protected,” Martin said. "And I think we will touch on this tomorrow when we address the policies and procedures and whether or not they can be withheld from public view.”

Dallas Stephens adds:

Hmm. Privacy concerns huh -- in a world filled with cameras everywhere; satellites; facial recognition software; thermal imaging: startlight scopes / cameras; body scanners; GPS tracking in cars, phones & TVs; 24/7 NSA / HSA hacking / eavesdropping of phone calls, emails & internet activity and listening devices embedded in 'smart' gadget we use or get near. Yeah, gotta love these judges concern over our privacy. Just one question though. Where the hell have they been up until now?

Richard replies:

Election processes are under each state legislature. The legislatures were superseded (unconstitution

Tim replies:

I notice the original judge recused himself. That smells to me. Probably this new guy is a liberal who wants to kill this suit.

This is the state that gave us John McCain, Jon Kyl, and Jeff Flake. I don't imagine the GOP is too interested in proving Donald Trump right here.
