AZ officials didn't want to be pressured by Trump to manufacture votes for him. He pressured officials in GA. Governor Ducey of AZ didn't want to be pressured either. He put his phone on silent when Trump called him to interfere with him just as he was signing the certification documents for the AZ election.
The Keystone Cops 'audit' in AZ drags on. Ballots and voting equipment are moved again as review of 2020 election drags on in Arizona’s Maricopa County By Rosalind S. Helderman July 1, 2021 at 8:43 p.m. UTC https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...76eadc-d4f2-11eb-a53a-3b5450fdca7a_story.html excerpt: "Nearly 2.1 million ballots and hundreds of tabulating machines at the center of a controversial Republican-commissioned review of the 2020 election in Arizona were packed up in trucks Thursday and moved — again. It was the fourth time the ballots and machines used in Arizona’s Maricopa County have been moved since April, when the state’s GOP Senate first obtained them using a legislative subpoena for a review that many local officials have decried as a “circus.” And it was the latest indication that the process — conducted by a private firm called Cyber Ninjas and once estimated to probably conclude by the end of May — has dragged on longer than organizers had hoped, adding to concerns that the ballots and equipment were in jeopardy of being damaged. The latest change of venue, to a 19,000-square-foot exhibit hall at a Phoenix-area fairgrounds, was necessary because the former basketball arena that has been home to much of the process has been rented out next week for a gun show. Ballots had been packed up previously to make way for high school graduations scheduled for the arena."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...76eadc-d4f2-11eb-a53a-3b5450fdca7a_story.html excerpt: "Audit spokesman Ken Bennett told The Washington Post work is now expected to take a week or two longer to complete — on Thursday the Senate signed a contract for space on the fairgrounds through July 14. He has previously said a final report of findings is not expected until August at the earliest but did not update that timeline this week. In an interview, an observer watching the process on behalf of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), the state’s chief elections officer, said it appeared to him as though the delay has potentially been caused by audit workers who were spotting problems and struggling to reconcile their own numbers. Ryan Macias, former acting director of certification and testing for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, said he overheard one worker express confusion over why a process she believed was sound was producing so many mistakes. Macias also said audit organizers had been continually introducing new procedures into their work — on Tuesday he said for the first time he saw workers using large scales to weigh boxes of ballots, presumably to get a new count of how many ballots each box contained. “They are scrambling. They are tired. They are making mistakes. And the entire thing is chaotic,” Macias said."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...76eadc-d4f2-11eb-a53a-3b5450fdca7a_story.html excerpt: "But Attorney Gen. Merrick Garland, election experts and Republican leaders in Maricopa have all expressed concern. In May, all seven elected officials in Maricopa County — including five Republicans — signed on to a scathing letter to the state senate denouncing the audit as a sham. “Our state has become a laughingstock,” they wrote. “Worse, this ‘audit’ is encouraging our citizens to distrust elections, which weakens our democratic republic.” Noting the tactics used by organizers of the review, such as hunting for bamboo in ballot paper and at times examining ballots with UV light, they added: “Your ‘audit,’ which you once said was intended to increase voters’ confidence in our electoral process, has devolved into a circus.” In addition, a new report published last week and co-authored by former Kentucky secretary of state Trey Grayson, a Republican, and University of Wisconsin Professor Barry C. Burden concluded that the Arizona procedures “deviate significantly from standard practices for election reviews and audits” and that any findings are “suspect and should not be trusted.”"
Oath Keeper Guilty Plea Chips Away at Tucker Carlson’s Theory That FBI Organized Jan. 6 excerpt: "In a June monologue, Carlson mistakenly assumed that a series of un-indicted and unnamed people referenced in various Capitol siege cases were FBI operatives. “In potentially every single case, they were FBI operatives,” Carlson declared. “Really? In the Capitol on Jan. 6th!” “They were almost certainly working for the FBI,” Carlson added, before bizarrely concluding that the FBI operatives were “organizers” of the attack. “So, FBI operatives were organizing the attack on the capitol on January 6th, according to government documents,” he said. “So, it turns out this white supremacist insurrection was — again, by the government’s own admission in these documents — organized at least in part by government agents!” The claim that the FBI organized the Capitol attack was based on a misunderstanding of how unnamed persons are characterized in court documents. The people that Carlson assumed were FBI agents are referred to as “Person 1”, “Person 2,” and so on. But Carlson’s claim, and the supporting evidence, was dismissed thoroughly and at length by people who know what they are talking about."
Trump said to the governor of MI, after men armed with guns showed up at a protest inside the state capitol, some of whom were later arrested for a plan to kidnap her, "They're good people. Make a deal with them."
Incidents were occurring at the state level that were precursors to Trump's riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump fanning the flames worsened the situation. The armed protest against governor Whitmer of MI and a violent protest at the Oregon state capitol are examples. Oregon state Rep. Mike Nearman was arrested months later for intentionally letting protesters into the state capitol by walking out a door.

What we should start talking about now is Texas and Arizona laws which give Republicans authority to overturn elections regardless of votes.
I think now is the perfect time for trump to finish his border wall in Arizona. What’s a little heat going to do to him? He can sweat that fat ass of his off.
It's understandable why Trump hated Helmsley. She was wealthy, cheated people like he did, and was competition to him in his zero-sum Manhattan real estate world. ;.
People like Trump don't hate cheaters because they cheat. It's that they cheat better to make more money, which invokes jealousy.
