Two senior Democrats on the House Oversight Committee want answers from the company running the politicized “audit” of Maricopa County, Arizona’s 2020 election results.
Anyone else bugged by the fact that the above text is now appearing in each article? I suspect sloppy cut and paste but whatever it is, it contributes to the sense that there is an almost complete lack of editing here. 
About time the Dems started getting their retaliation in first to this sort of garbage. Won’t stop Fux News spewing the results as the reason TWFWWNBN should still be Presidunce, but may reach 0.00001% of GQP voters who have some semblance of connection to reality.
I have a feeling the “Oh, we have non-disclosure agreements with the company” excuse is gonna work on this one.
Time to start auditing the auditors.
I’m sure those “records” are in pristine, unaltered condition after the Fraudit.
Well I’m really glad to see this - we need to see what the hell they’ve done.
Nothing like that is happening to me.
I am.
When I first saw it this morning, I thought it was a joke or something.
Now that I saw it a couple times, I guess that it actually is something…something that I don’t like.
Our methods are proprietary trade secrets and the results are confidential. We do not have to disclose the identity of the persons who funded the audit for the same reasons the Supreme Court said dark money is sacred.
Carefully preserved in the null set of retained documents. I’m sure that Mr. Logan and his “company” studiously follow his “legal department’s” advice when it comes to keeping documents around for auditing the audit.
I’m fairly confident that an organization such Cyber Ninnies kept records, that can be audited, when they audited, the thrice audited voting records of Maricopa County.
I don’t see it in the main article, where I typically read it, but it is present in the discobot reprint at the top of this page.
The Oversight Committee should not do this unless they are ready to go all the way. They need to make their subpoenas effective, under penalty of contempt of Congress. On the other hand, the sooper-duper Covid-19 Mutant CyberNinja Turtles should welcome the opportunity!
Eggzakerly. I can imagine there’s a script that grabs the text from the marked up main article and it’s grabbing some text in an embedded HTML box or something. In other words, yet again some sloppy work with no quality control checking…
ETA:
Yup, found it. It’s an embedded <blockquote>…
That’s probably a more coherent argument than the one they’ll use when they refuse to hand anything over in response to the subpoena, it’ll get appealed to SCOTUS, lost in a swamp, recycled, then finally expire when the GQP has the House majority in 2023.
Second verse, same as the first.
You’re right. Looks like discobot’s using some bad code.
Huh? Not seeing this issue at all
Now I see it. Too weird. Kill the Discobot!!
I just did a check - if I’m not signed in, the main page article has a “subscribe” box that asks for your email address positioned just after the paragraph that starts “The audit has, in fact, been a disaster,…” and in the discobot version this is replaced by the “Get TPM… etc” text I quote. When I log back in, the subscribe box disappears (probably checking if I’m not a subscriber and only non-subs getting it).
So if you’re not seeing the prompt in the main page, you probably won’t see it in the discobot version, either. Yet another case of @JoshMarshall messing with his paying customers again. Kicking off some of the best participants in the commentary, refusing for years to fix egregious bugs, endless fascination with all things Donnie while ignoring major speeches by the current President and now sloppily seeding articles with junk. And for this we pay money?
