Misbarā€™s Analysis

Misbar could not find any evidence that OAN ever reported that there were 254,000 bad ballots in Maricopa County. OANā€™s website doesnā€™t feature any stories regarding the 254,000 ballots, nor do its Facebook or Twitter accounts.

The claim is in reference to the hand recount of 2.1 million ballots being conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona over doubts regarding the 2020 election results. According to an Arizona Senate spokesman, the hand recount was completed on Monday, June 14th, a day after Powellā€™s post. As of now, a final audit report has not been issued.
