Approximately 23,000 Ballots Printed From Unidentified Source – Speckin Forensic Report (AZ)

Forensic document examiner Erich Speckin, retained as part of the Arizona Senate audit, reported that approximately 23,000 ballots appeared to have been printed from a source other than the official ballot PDF on file with Maricopa County. He further documented that 58 batches of ballots (approximately 11,600 ballots) from early voting favored one candidate by 90% or more – a distribution he characterized as statistically improbable. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: Senate President Fann’s cover letter to the audit noted that Speckin’s report was not included in the formal audit release, and the Cyber Ninjas’ own analysis found the 23,000 anomalous ballots were split approximately evenly between candidates. The Speckin findings remain disputed and require independent forensic verification under recognized ASTM standards before they can be treated as established.
