A draft audit report circulated on Gateway Pundit and other conservative blogs that called for decertification of Maricopa County’s 2020 general election results is a fake, a Senate audit official confirmed.

The draft in question is similar to drafts obtained by the Capitol Times and other Arizona media outlets the night before the audit presentation last week but includes several deviations from those drafts, including a statement advocating for election decertification in the executive summary – language that also did not appear in the final report presented by Cyber Ninjas to Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, and state Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert.

The draft – published alongside a Gateway Pundit article titled “Arizona Audit Final Report Was Watered Down” – includes the line “based on these factual findings, the election should not be certified, and the reported results are not reliable.”

“This is a fake document,” Senate audit liaison Randy Pullen said in a text message.

Pullen, former Republican Party of Arizona chairman, said “there was never a discussion about decertifying.”

1. Everything about Republicans is fake.

It’s what they do. It’s who they are. I’m not a psychologist but I would go so far as saying they don’t feel right about themselves unless there is some level of deceit involved.

2. I've seen this fake report they're trying to push... it's just sad and it's why the Gateway Pundit

is fake news.

The scribd link is to a document entitled "ExecutiveSummary VersionFinal 092421 Draft" that was uploaded by Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft. No such draft was every leaked as the presentation was on 9/24.

Hoft is unsurprisingly, blatantly doing the fake news thing.

Cyber Ninjas CEO releases a statement saying through his PR guy about the Gateway Pundit version of the report. He calls it "absolutely false" and that it was not written by Doug Logan.

7. When you lose the Cyber Ninjas...

OK, they probably hated having to put out that statement but figured that the truth was gonna win out so they got ahead of it. But still, how crazy can it get when the Cyber Ninjas are a reliable source by comparison?

4. Of course it's fake. It's Republican-bilt.

Freaking full time liars.

6. Thsi will add fuel to the conspiracies

And that's their whole goal, to add fuel to this garbage and cast doubt on American Democracy.

Right Wingers will be saying that they saw the "real" report draft and they know it's true.
