Arizona election audit under scrutiny amid concerns of partisanship, lack of transparency

It's been seven months since the 2020 presidential election was decided, but in Arizona votes are once again being recounted. It's part of an unprecedented audit of ballots in the state's largest county, which the Republican-led state senate just extended by another month. While the results won't change the outcome, it's being closely watched by former President Trump and some right wing groups pushing baseless election fraud claims. CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave joined "CBSN AM" from Phoenix with details.

CHEATERS ALWAYS HAVE TO WORRY. HONEST PERSONS DO NOT

im glad they told us what to think right away. totally objective.

The "lack of transparency" should have been taken seriously during the 2020 election.

[Wongseifu]

These guys are pathetic literally if these guys don't find anything they will still call it a fraud....

[laurawells]

I think people just can’t accept that they placed their whole-hearted support and belief in a liar. Pretty hard chunk of crow to choke down.

[adrianslaughter]

This should be done in every state. Let the facts speak for themselves.

[starnealy]

It;s not a mockery when so many feel fraud was comitted!

[dysongus]

How does examining ballots harm democracy?

[nothingtosee]

Demanding transparency for the audit, but not for the election itself. Truly the most American thing I've seen this week. 😂

Dear media: your narrative is falling apart.

Don't say baseless until the audit over. That's like saying the IRS audits are baseless before the audit is over. I guess the IRS should not have audits since it's bases.

If it was the most secure most clean it should stand up to scrutiny

You can tell all these “reporters” are not real should have investigation/curiosity at their core! There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with an investigation!

[newrepublican]

I voted in Arizona with the understanding that my vote and personal information would be protected and that the election would be conducted in accordance with Senate Bill 1135.
Now I find out that my vote and personal information is being handled by third party contractors whose qualifications and procedures don't comply with that legislation. How is that NOT a violation of Senate Bill 1135 AND my right to privacy ? The DOJ needs to step in and hold the Arizona state legislature accountable !

CBS, you’re digging a deeper hole for yourself.

[jimmyavalos]

What are they hiding? Let the truth come fourth. We law abiding citizens can handle it.PATRIOTS.

Everyone in Arizona need to SUE JUDGE NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED INFORMATION TAKEN ON VOTES if used need to be put in jail .

[denpepp]

Records are to be kept FOR TWO YEARS! The reason is to double check.

Ask Katie Hobbs if she is hiding something
