Mobile phone and laptop wireless use right next to a machines? Why not? Who cares about bluetooth mesh or any of the numerous other types of security risks that can be introduced.

Greetings Mr Richer and Board of Supervisors, I came across this video and I find it strangely curious. Is it possible that this video features a County vehicle driven only around the secure parking lot? It seems to me this might make for an interesting set of FOIA requests. Where are these computers destined for and where did it come from? These clearly aren't new machines that were transported outside of sealed boxes in an open bed of what looks to be a personal pickup truck. https://odysee.com/MCTEC-WB:b In the private sector, audits are difficult and it is natural for you to feel uneasy before an audit begins. In the private sector you don't have the luxury use Twitter to cower and hide to avoid transparency https://twitter.com/maricopacounty/status/1416139688914526208?s=19. In the private sector you must face challenge and scrutiny and do the hard work to ensure that the company you are working for is in compliance. In the public sector, or at least for Maricopa County, it seems that this is not the case. Through your perspective and subsequent actions, you have chosen to defame others on social media and hide from responsibility to voters. Imagine if that were possible if HHS auditors came to a company and the IT department behaved like Maricopa County. It's the voters who work for a living that are seeing a "rules for thee and not for me" attitude when it comes to their local government. Maricopa County lost in court, yet act as if in complete denial of that loss. If the voters were the priority in all of this, Maricopa County would have been involved in the audit process. The fact is, egos have been the rule of the day at the expense of the voters. Another example of the tone deaf nature of this process is illustrated by the loss of voter cases in court. The people have been ridiculed in the media and many were blocked on social media. In contrast, Maricopa County loses in court and they attack vendors that assist the AZ State Senate, creating the same vile and vicious attack campaign. Completely unnecessary to do this, and in the interest of the voters the County could have accepted the loss and worked directly with the AZ State Senate. Instead, Maricopa County sets the example that if you lose in court, simply ignore the loss. I demand that these questions be answered as soon as possible. I will release this video and message publicly and make it go viral if not answered honestly, respectfully, and in the interest of transparency. At some point Maricopa County will need to adopt some humility and realize that these images do not engender trust in its capabilities to ethically run elections. Where did these systems come from? Why are they being transported unsealed? Why is this driver alone? Is there GPS accountability of the trip? Did this person stop anywhere along the transit? How is it known that he didn't stop at a Circle K for a cold drink? If any stops were made how do you ensure that the cargo had not been tampered with? Are there public cameras at the location where the systems are stored? If not, why not, since the tabulation center has them? How can we assure that these systems were not used during the election in 2020 to run a phantom election or otherwise tampered with? Why aren't serial numbers validated on departure and arrival? Is it Maricopa County's perception that this is a good look? Was this an intentional setup for more Twitter childishness? I look forward to quick responses to the questions posed. Please conduct yourselves ethically - that includes refraining from personal attacks on other parties via Twitter and other media sources as certainly none of you is above reproach. Your positions are all in service to the voters of Maricopa County, myself included, and we all deserve your professional conduct, at the minimum.
