Election 'audit' contractor says he still has photos of 2020 Maricopa County ballots

One of the contractors for the Arizona Republican Senate’s “audit” of the 2020 presidential election claims to have photos of 2.1 million ballots from Maricopa County and is raising money to preserve them, despite state law saying ballots and images have to be destroyed 24 months after an election.

Jovan Pulitzer, a favorite of election fraud conspiracy theorists, who claims to have invented technology that can detect fraudulent ballots by examining the folds in the paper and the markings, was hired by the Senate to use that unproven technology in 2021. When he said that Joe Biden’s 2020 win in Georgia was marred by fraud that only he could detect, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state derided him as a “failed inventor and a failed treasure hunter.”

His technology was deployed at the “audit” but was ultimately left out of the Senate’s final report and his claims were called “utter rubbish” by a fellow “audit” researcher who was hired by the Senate to double check his work.

The GiveSendGo fundraising campaign, which Pulitzer has been heavily promoting on his Substack and Rumble accounts, is seeking $396,000 and has raised over $129,000 so far.
