A journalist covering the recount in Arizona got kicked out for taking a picture of Rep. Biggs:
Today is my shift at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the Maricopa County election audit. Media was supposed to get in at 8 a.m. but wasn’t allowed in until after 9.
In the middle of the room are five laptops and five printers. But they don’t seem to be printing anything at the moment #azauditpool
There were 3 boxes in the fenced area labeled “complete” when I got here but two men just moved them out of view, so unclear how many they have finished.
Two men did some more shuffling with the boxes in the fenced area marked “complete” and this is the best view I can get of them. I can count 5 but could be more against the wall out of view.
Looks like we have former AZ lawmaker Anthony Kern reviewing ballots #azauditpool
Kern took a moment to shake hands with Rep. Andy Biggs, who got a tour of the facility from Ken Bennett.
Well, a man in a cowboy hat and a badge that said Wake TSI just came over, asked if I tweeted the picture of Anthony Kern, and when I said yes he escorted me out of the building and said my press privileges were “revoked”
They said I am welcome to stay in the parking lot where it’s 97 degrees and this is my view
I’m seeing questions about Kern’s pen. It appears to be green and the cap was not stuck on the back end in my previous photo. This shot from the pool photographer @thawthornephoto
is clearer
Senate President @FannKfann, who is in charge of the audit, is saying I broke a judge’s order. This is false. We have no judge’s order. We have an agreement not to show any discernible info on ballots. And our agreement states specifically we can/will show faces. #azauditpool
