Maricopa is the second audit for Wake TSI - the company managing the hand count in AZ.
Their first audit was of Fulton Co, PA, a county with a pop of about 15k

2 of the commissioners (1 of which was at the capitol on 1/6) went over the 3rds head in requisitioning the audit.

LMAO. Wake TSI had a team of 6 people review mail in and absentee ballots out of a total of around 8,000 ballots cast.
So…going to 2.3 million was quite the step up for them. No wonder they looked like they had no idea what they were doing

The report was authored by Eugene Kern. In 2015, Eugene was chief executive of a “failed data center venture” that was ordered to pay 1.4 million in unpaid fees to consultants. https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/local/2015/01/22/court-data-centers-llc-owes-million/22174643/

Kern was also sued by the president of the company he was chief exec of, because Kern “froze him out of business affairs then ran up millions of dollars in debt the company had no ability to pay.”

The Fulton Co. PA audit also had very little oversight. As in, it was overseen by 3 county commissioners, and the county election director. 2 commissioners froze out the 3rd when Wake TSI was onsite, despite their request to be present.

The dissenting commissioner also wanted a subpoena before Wake could move forward, but was over ruled.
By this dude.

Wake TSI couldn't find signs of wrongdoing but they won't let that stop them!
They revisit some of Antrim's greatest hits, including: "Errors in ballot scanning" and "Database tools were installed"
Again, they say the election was well run, but also DOMINION!!

Wake TSI's report found no election process anomalies. They also state that no voting system anomalies were reported but that they found two:
1. Scanning error rate
2. SQL Server Data Tools
They cite the "1 error in 250k ballots" standard that doesn't actually seem to exist

Wake TSI found 40 scan errors for all of Fulton's election. I'd be interested to see exactly what these errors were. In Antrim, the errors were typically that the ballot had to be reversed (as in, spit back out by the scanner, like when a vending machine rejects your dollar)

Again, no idea where "allowable error rates legislated by the federal government" number is coming from. If anyone knows, please share.
Regardless of the errors, Wake still found that the electronic voting system performed accurately.

Wake TSI only looked at the absentee and mail in ballots. Still hunting for the number of absentee ballots, but they reviewed only 1,233 mail in ballots.
And then got the job to review 2.3 million in Maricopa.
GUYS. HOW. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN

Wake TSI called out 5 'anomalies' in their executive summary.
One is "changes were made to the EMS 3 weeks prior to the election".
But, they even point out couldn't have happened any sooner - it had to happen after the candidates final withdrawl date
[tweet] [link]
So what's their problem with the update? The county does not receive formal documentation that states what changes were made.

Wake TSIs exec summary hinted that the adjudication process can cause a "huge" election impact.
Later on, they mention that the adjudication was needed for overvotes, write-ins, and unclear markings.
So, nothing weird happened re:adjudication, but you wouldn't know until pg 23
