The Mystic Wanderer mentioned it in the Shout Box, but I think it's better that have an
enlarged explanation on what occurred in Arizona.

Quote:Maricopa County GOP chair resigns after skipping election equipment verification testSource:
'Rae Chornenky, the chair of the Maricopa County Republican Party, has resigned from her position
after Democrats called her out for skipping a meeting ahead of the election where the county’s ballot
tabulation machines were tested.
Chornenky, an attorney backed by the state's more establishment Republicans, had long clashed
with the further-right-leaning figures within the state’s Republican Party. Calls for her to step down
started after Maricopa County Democratic Party chair Stephen Slugocki reminded the public in a
Twitter post that in October she had not attended a logic and accuracy test of election equipment.
That equipment — new ballot tabulators from Dominion Voting Systems — are at the centre of
claims about software glitches that some Republicans have asserted changed votes from
President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. There is no credible evidence that happened.
Chornenky’s resignation came after state Rep. Kelly Townsend of Mesa publicly called on her to
step down, and after Slugocki revealed on Twitter that she had failed to show up to view the logic
and accuracy tests.
The tests are open to the public and are performed before and after every election to certify the
accuracy of tabulation equipment and voting devices.

I just found our that Maricopa County GOP Chairman Rae Chornenky failed to
show up to certify the Dominion / Machines.
For this reason, I call for her resignation, along with her 1st Vice Chair.
In an Oct. 6 Twitter post, Slugocki and Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs are sitting at a table.
“The final tally after the test,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m happy to report that the machines had 100% accuracy. …
Maricopa County voting machines are ready for voting to begin tomorrow, and we should all feel confident
in the results!”
He wrote at the time that officials from the Republican and Libertarian parties were invited but did not show
up for the test.

@Slugocki
One of my legal responsibilities as County Chair is to conduct the accuracy tests of
the voting machines and certify they are counting ballots correctly.
I sat with Arizona Secretary of State @SecretaryHobbs and we verified
