“Maricopa County’s election equipment and software passed all tests performed by two independent firms hired to conduct the forensic audit, according to reports by two federally certified Voting System Testing Laboratories. ‘Our form of government is built on the promise that every vote counts. Following the 2020 General Election, some of our residents expressed concerns their ballots were not counted as intended,’ said Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers, District 1. ‘As a result, the Board of Supervisors asked two firms to independently look at the security and reliability of our election equipment and processes and to let us know if they found any evidence of equipment malfunction or foul play that might have changed the outcome of any race. The firms we hired are the only two in the United States certified to do this work. We asked them to go beyond what we had already done to ensure the integrity of our elections and beyond even the stringent requirements of state law. We are releasing the results of those audits today so that the public can see what we see and know what we know: no hacking or vote switching occurred in the 2020 election'” – Maricopa County, Arizona Press Release.
