The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office informed former Republican Secretary of State Ken Bennett of the decision this week. Bennett is the Arizona Senate’s liaison for the audit. The county was told late last month, while delivering subpoenaed election materials to the state Senate’s custody, that delivering routers, or even images of routers, “posed a significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as well as numerous federal agencies.” “We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it. But we were informed that redaction did not eliminate the risk,” Joseph LaRue, deputy county attorney, told Bennett in a letter obtained by The Epoch Times. A spokesman for the county told The Epoch Times via email that its technology professionals “determined the information contained in Maricopa County’s routers can be used as blueprints to intercept sensitive county data.” “Maricopa County has more than 50 different county departments, and the routers the Senate subpoena commanded the County produce support all of these departments, not just elections operations. This includes critical law enforcement data that, by law, cannot be disclosed, as well as Maricopa County residents’ protected health information and full social security numbers,” he added. “By providing the routers, or even virtual images of routers, sensitive data and the lives of law enforcement personnel could be endangered. The County is continuing to study this issue, and routers remain in the county’s custody for the time being.” Bennett and Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, did not respond to requests for comment.

Each machine has a log, or record. The county tried to rebuff the subpoenas, but a judge in February ruled the county must comply with them. County officials forced auditors to count ballots and review equipment offsite but delivered the materials to the teams late last month. The exclusion of the routers was not reported before this week. Maricopa County officials said separately on Wednesday that two laboratories tested the voting equipment in February and found no evidence that election machines were connected to the Internet. But Bennett said on KFYI on Monday that auditors could not confirm that unless they had access to the logs. “Here we are several weeks into the audit, and we still don’t have some of the information that was subpoenaed by the state Senate from Maricopa County,” he said. “They told me personally weeks ago that they had taken all the routers and the internet connections and the hubs and everything out of the building so they could send it to us, and we would have the logs when we got into those devices, we would be able to see those logs, that nothing was connected to the Internet during the election. And lo and behold, they don’t show up in the equipment that they said would be delivered to us,” Bennett added. Nite_Bite_00 and DoOver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harf Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 More corrupt and suspicious acts performed by the Maricopa County election team and/or vendor have come to light. Dr. Kelli Ward tweeted out on Wednesday that devices that held data during the election in Maricopa County were snuck offsite nightly.

zybathegeek Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Probably take less than an hour to sieve the sensitive County IP addressing from router logs, under supervision of course just to make sure nothing else was deleted. Someone is telling porkies, blinding with science and baffling with BS. What are they trying to hide?
