While the reports made several significant findings supporting former President Trump’s complaints about the 2020 election, the corporate media ignored those aspects of the audit. //

As broadly reported, the audit established “there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the ballots provided and the official canvass results for the County.” Maricopa County, which represents Arizona’s most populous county thanks to its county seat of Phoenix, had provided Biden a 45,000-vote advantage in the state, propelling Biden to a victory by 10,457 votes. So the media presented the recount as confirming Biden’s victory in the state.

Left unmentioned, however, were the numerous findings of problems with the election and, most significantly, evidence indicating tens of thousands of ballots were illegally cast or counted. A report entitled “Compliance with Election Laws and Procedures,” issued by Senate Audit Liaison Ken Bennett, highlighted several issues, of which two were particularly significant because of the number of votes involved. //

in a 99-page report, Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai detailed numerous anomalies.

First, Ayyadurai analyzed the early voting ballot return envelopes, on which voters were required to sign an affidavit within a signature block. That review revealed more than 17,000 duplicate images of the return envelopes. When the duplicates were eliminated from the review, Ayyadurai’s company, EchoMail, concluded that Maricopa County had recorded more than 6,545 early voting return envelopes than EchoMail determined existed. EchoMail also concluded that another approximately 500 of the envelopes’ affidavits were left blank.

Ayyadurai also highlighted several implausible statistics, such as that while there was a 52.6 percent increase from 2016 to 2020 in the number of early voting ballots, Maricopa County reported a decrease in signature mismatches of 59.7 percent. “This inverse relationship requires explanation,” the report noted, and then recommended a full audit of the signatures. //

These statutory provisions and procedures prove significant because the audit revealed that 15,035 mail-in votes in Maricopa County were from voters who had moved prior to the registration deadline, another 6,591 mail-in-votes came from voters who had moved out of Arizona prior to the registration deadline, and 1,718 mail-in votes came from voters who moved within Arizona but out of Maricopa prior to the registration deadline.

One of three scenarios seems possible here: First, the mail-in ballot was delivered to the old address and then provided to the named voter, who had only temporarily relocated. Such votes would be legal and entirely proper.

Second, the mail-in ballot was delivered to the old address and then provided to the named voter, who had permanently moved, but failed to timely update his registration record yet signed an affidavit attesting to a false address of residence. Such votes would be illegal.

Or third, the mail-in ballot was delivered to the old address, and then someone other than the named voter cast the vote. Such votes would be both illegal and fraudulent.

Neither Maricopa County nor the state of Arizona knows how many of these 23,000-plus votes fall within each of these three scenarios. And that’s a problem. //

Unfortunately, rather than acknowledge the problems the Maricopa County audit revealed and rise to the challenge of ensuring they are not repeated, while also investigating areas of potential fraud and illegal voting, Democrats and some Republicans pretend the hand recount’s confirmation of the official vote tally ends the matter.

The corrupt press likewise pushes this narrative: The audit confirms Trump lost, and that is all there is to the matter.

But this isn’t about Trump, just as the 2005 report on building confidence in American elections wasn’t about Al Gore. This is about election integrity and our democracy because, as the commission wrote not even 20 years ago:

The vigor of American democracy rests on the vote of each citizen. Only when citizens can freely and privately exercise their right to vote and have their vote recorded correctly can they hold their leaders accountable. Democracy is endangered when people believe that their votes do not matter or are not counted correctly.

The Arizona audit ended nothing including, sadly, the view held by half of our country that their votes do not matter and are not counted correctly—and that many politicians and members of the press don’t care.

Fairness and integrity in our elections is the fundamental bedrock of our republic. If both of these principles are missing, we will gradually lose our two hundred years-plus experiment with self government. What we will have instead, at best, is a banana republic where the results of an election will always be in dispute, and that is a recipe for anarchy.

What is in this bill that is supposedly so “restrictive” that the left is up in arms about it? It is a long bill with many different provisions, but here are some of the most important ones.

Texas Republicans added a requirement that registrars who receive notice from a voter who has moved must forward that notice to the registrar of the new county where the voter now lives. Opponents, like the American Civil Liberties Union, apparently don’t want registrars to keep accurate and up-to-date lists, which is why they keep suing to stop states from trying to clean up their voter lists.

A similar provision requires the Texas secretary of state to use Department of Motor Vehicles records—driver’s license information—to “verify the accuracy of citizenship status information previously provided on voter registration applications.”

In other words, if an individual provides documentation showing he is not a U.S. citizen when he obtained a Texas driver’s license, he obviously should not be registered to vote since both state and federal law bars aliens from voting.

Why would the Democratic legislators who fled the state oppose this? The only possible motive is that they want noncitizens to be able to illegally register, vote, and not get caught. I guess you could call this “restrictive,” but then restricting the voting of ineligible aliens to prevent them from diluting the votes of eligible citizens is what states should be doing.

The bill allows the secretary of state to go after any county registrar who refuses to comply with state law, such as removing aliens who are illegally registered to vote. //

The bill also increases the security of the election process by requiring large counties to implement an internal video surveillance system of all areas where voted ballots are handled, processed, and counted. Do opponents of this bill not want that kind of transparency to ensure nothing untoward is being done with ballots?

The bill requires “randomized audits” in four Texas counties in every even-numbered year. Audits ensure that all the laws governing the voting process are scrupulously followed, that voters can register and vote, and that voting equipment functions properly. What is wrong with wanting to periodically check to make sure that all eligible voters can vote and that elections are conducted fairly and securely? //

The Texas bill makes it clear that election officials cannot remove observers unless they are interfering in the voting process. Again, why would liberals and the media object to transparency? Shouldn’t observers be able to see what is actually going on in precincts?

Texas also added something it has not had before, which is an opportunity for voters to correct defects in their absentee ballots. Many absentee ballots are rejected because voters make mistakes. For instance, they forget to sign the ballot or they don’t provide all the required information.

This bill requires election officials to give voters the opportunity to correct any such problem. This expands voting opportunities in the state. It’s certainly not “restrictive.”

"The situation might have already sunk Democrats’ chances for victory in 2022 and 2024."
In the pre 2020 elections, competency of administrations and public opinion had direct effects on election outcomes to varying degrees, depending on the level and sophistication of the fraud in each jurisdiction.
The sheer scale and brazen openess of the fraud in 2020 along with both political parties certifying and supporting the outcome has created a new dynamic. Both political parties, the DOJ, DOD and the public passively accept the manipulation of election outcomes on a national scale.
By the fall of 2022 there will undoubtedly be a new Covid strain, terrorist attack or combination of serious events to justify declaring an emergency and shifting the majority of voting to mail in.
The GOP will weed out outlier candidates that oppose Rino leadership in primaries or undermine conservative candidates in purple districts, and the overall control of the House of Representatives will be determined by those who count votes and certify elections, not the majority of voters themselves.
2020 was a watershed event, the ruling class can perpetuate uniparty rule going forward without the need to account for their incompetence, corruption and looting of our nations' industrial, technological and defense wealth.
The continuous outrage voiced by the GOP instead of meaningful action is just their drama queen act, they are impotent like eunuchs when it comes to using their power for rule of law and restoring the Republic.

The perp was released on his own recognizance. He was a felon found in the possession of a gun, meth, xanax, loads of stolen mail that can be used for identity theft, a bunch of credit cards in different names, and multiple fake IDs. And yet he walks on OR. No bail. Gun possession by a felon is itself a felony in CA. Did they even investigate whether the credit cards had been used for theft?

I'm sure his hearing date is well after the election. //

So far we have in the Sept 14 Calif Governor Newsom Recall:

1. Stolen ballots found by police - 300 count so far
2. Video surveillance shows stealing ballots from bank of apartment mail boxes
3. Punch holes on ballot envelopes expose whether a yes on recall vote was cast
4. Flimsy see through ballot security envelopes can reveal other ballot markings
5. Jovan Pulizer showing a cheap flashlight against the envelope exposes the vote

Sure glad the operating consensus is ....no widespread fraud, baseless accusations of fraud, and charges of treason for even bringing this topic up.

Most secure election ever -- any complaints mean you are trying to suppress the vote.

The 21-page document entitled “9 Solutions to Secure America’s Elections” was written by Danielle Root and Liz Kennedy and published on August 16, 2017. //

At the time, the political left was attempting to convince Americans that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president, and that Russian election interference had swayed the 2016 election process. To this day, losing candidate Hillary Clinton insists the election was “stolen” from her.

Fast forward four years, and the corporate media alongside Democrats scream in one voice that election audits are not necessary, and are in fact an “attack” on “democracy.”

But their 2017 sentiments beg to differ. //

Speaking to a WNYC/PRI podcast in late 2018, paper author Danielle Root proclaimed:

“Auditing really is necessary to protect our elections and ensure the integrity of our elections and paper-based voting systems are incredibly important. But the overall impact of a paper-based system depends largely on election officials and states’ ability and commitment to carrying out robust post-election audits.” //

Remote Access Vote By Mail Program

Now, there’s nothing inherently bad about the RAVBM system. It was instituted for people with handicaps who use assistive technology as a matter of course, or for military members serving abroad. In the instance of a person with a handicap, it eliminates the need to have someone else physically fill out the ballot for them, which is good from a ballot harvesting perspective (they don’t need that “helpful hand” advising them). In regular elections, only voters meeting those criteria qualify to receive a RAVBM ballot and must specifically request it from their county. The county emails the voter a link to the ballot, which they fill out using whatever assistive technology they normally use, print, and mail back using the envelope in which they received their traditional vote-by-mail ballot. //

RAVBM ballots can also be returned in-person, and do not have to be in an official ballot envelope to be considered valid as long as the voter has signed the outside of the envelope. That’s where the major issue comes in for this recall election. Ostensibly, someone living in another state can sign up for a RAVBM ballot using the name of a California registered voter (whether that registered voter is alive, dead, or living in another state at this time), vote, print, and mail it in. At this time we have not seen any official procedures for how RAVBM ballots received are secured or if they’re checked against other vote-by-mail ballots received or in-person ballots to ensure that the voter has only voted one time. One can imagine legions of union workers dutifully printing these ballots, with the union bosses keeping boxes of them at the ready to be delivered to LA County, San Francisco, or Oakland at 3 am if it looks like Gavin might actually lose this thing.

The California GOP and the Republican National Committee must band together and fight like hell to ensure election integrity on September 14. If they don’t, this will be coming to every state in the union under the guise of “voting safely” in 2022.

With high profile audits of votes from the 2020 election are underway in Arizona and Georgia, what seems to be a spooked as well as woke US Department of Justice has sent a second sternly-worded memo to the states warning them that any attempt actually to verify the votes cast in 2020 carries the potential risk of violating the Civil Right Act. This is from BuzzFeed News so take its accuracy for what it’s worth… //

The hook the DOJ is using to stick its nose into what is an inherently and exclusive state function; the idea that auditing the results of a completed and certified election could trammel the civil rights of anyone, even someone who may have stolen an election, is just nonsense. At the same time, there is absolutely no doubt that the Gestapo waiting in the wings at Justice would leap at the chance, like flying monkeys from a castle wall, to harass and intimidate state officials trying to uphold state election law which the current regime finds inconvenient.

Why is the DOJ attempting to stretch the law in this manner? Why do they even care about the results of an audit which, worst casing it for the Democrats, can’t change anything?

This is my assessment.

2022 is a must-win year for the Democrats. //

There is a strong feeling across the nation that Joe Biden did not win but rather cheated his way into the White House by a massive influx of ballots of dubious authenticity injected into the system by partisan judges rewriting existing laws in favor of new “COVID voting rules.” This has inspired at least 17 states to pass new laws designed to curb abuses of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, counting votes after election day, and all manner of other Third World bullsh** created by the courts out of whole cloth.

All that is needed is a showing of fraud in any of the audits underway to sink the Democrat falsehood that voting fraud is rare. (My personal view is that it is systemic and endemic in some jurisdictions.) If that happens, you will see more states enact laws to foil vote fraud. //

“If there isn’t a way for us to repeat what happened in November 2020, we’re f—ed,” said Nsé Ufot, CEO of the Stacey Abrams-founded New Georgia Project.

“What happened in November 2020,” of course, is widespread and flagrant vote fraud at every step of the process.

Here are some numerical highlights from the Arizona senate hearing held on 15 July (taken from the hearing video here, beginning at the 3-hour-and-1-minute mark):

1. 11,326 people who voted were not on the 11/7 voter rolls but were somehow listed in the 12/4 database
2. 3,981 people who voted on Election Day were registered after 10/15, which is a violation of Arizona state law
3. ~18,000 people voted on Election Day but were subsequently removed from the rolls
4. 74,243 mail-in ballots were counted with no clear record of having been mailed out in the first place //

• CNN’s “expert source” Garrett Archer didn’t source his data; he claimed the file was provided by “some friends of mine”
• When pushed to cite the files he used, Archer claimed to have used the EV32 (requests for ballots) and EV33 (returned ballots) files. However, Maricopa County election officials stated that the “Voted File” is the correct source for analysis. In short, Archer used the wrong file!
• Without access to the actual server log, it is impossible to ascertain whether the Voted File has been completely secure since Election Day. “[I]f the Voted File was not secure, an individual could have accessed it immediately after the Cyber Ninjas announced the vote discrepancy and changed the numbers.”
• Blehar further explains the importance of gaining access to the server logs: “[T]he Cyber Ninjas want to know specifically if there is a one-to-one match between the absentee/early ballot it examined and if there is a REQUEST for that ballot in the Voted File. Gross numbers of ballots requested and returned – that Maricopa County cited in response to Logan – don’t answer that question.” [Note: Archer blithely ignored that key fact in his “analysis”!]
• There should have been daily figures available of returned vs. requested ballots in the days leading up to and after the election, but Maricopa County has never provided any of those numbers to the public. [Why?]
• “Arizona, through its contractor, dataorbital.com, never publicly posted the ballots requested and returned from each county” in the state. [Again, why?] A possible answer: These data could be used to distribute the excess votes from Maricopa County. As previously detailed in this article, there were ~120,000 excess votes for Biden counted on Election Day night in Maricopa than his final tabulation. Those excess votes were almost certainly distributed to other counties. The router logs must be examined to determine what happened, which is likely among the reasons why Maricopa County is refusing to provide them to the auditors. One of the other reasons is there were 37,000 queries to the election system on 11 March. [Why?]

Yesterday, the American Association for Public Opinion Research released a report on polling for the 2020 election. It was pretty ugly. This is the key, in my view, finding.

• The 2020 polls featured polling error of an unusual magnitude: It was the highest in 40 years for the national popular vote and the highest in at least 20 years for state-level estimates of the vote in presidential, senatorial, and gubernatorial contests.5 Among polls conducted in the final two weeks, the average error on the margin in either direction was 4.5 points for national popular vote polls and 5.1 points for state-level presidential polls.
• The polling error was much more likely to favor Biden over Trump. Among polls conducted in the last two weeks before the election, the average signed error on the vote margin was too favorable for Biden by 3.9 percentage points in the national polls and by 4.3 percentage points in statewide presidential polls. //

This is some great analytical jujitsu. What this guy is saying is, “We were wrong four years ago because we underestimated the number of uneducated rubes who would vote for Trump and we fixed that problem. As a result our 2020 results were worse than our 2016. But we’re really sure than its Republicans screwing around with the hard science of polling.” //

So, let’s recap. Polls favored Democrats regardless of the method used. Polls favored Democrats across most of the polling industry, no matter the modeling used by the analysts. The polls went the same direction in very similar amounts. The best reasons they can come up with is that Republicans aren’t participating because President Trump said mean things about them OR they are interviewing in great numbers Republicans who are not representative of the Republicans who turn out to vote… //

I think there is an easier explanation for what happened that doesn’t involve the entire polling industry’s failure to discover a key segment of GOP/conservative voters. The polls were conducted to drive a media narrative that America was appalled with Trump and with the GOP, and the Democrats were going to win big up and down the ticket. The polls provided the hook for “news” stories and fodder for talk shows. The idea was to create an air of inevitability about a Biden win. What they did not factor in was the anger of the conservative base and the degree to which millions of Americans felt that President Trump stood up for them and repaid that perceived loyalty by voting for him.

Funny how not a single RNC lawyer was involved in any of the post-election lawsuits on behalf of President Trump, and the likes of McDaniel, Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY), and other “top Republicans” have been silent about election fraud even after the AZ senate hearing that dropped bombshells last week. //

One of the critical deficiencies highlighted by DePerno is the ability of the election workers “to set the time on a tabulator at any time in order to print paper tapes that show the appropriate date/time stamp. The technician/supervisor password enables the workers to have this capability.” This is a significant issue because an election worker can potentially run extra ballots without detection “outside of the election window or after hours” to create ballots to produce a desired number of votes.

It seems the DePerno team has also found “duplicate matching ballot indexes.” DePerno stated, “It gets worse, people. Based on a review of the Antrim County results, it indicates duplicate matching ballot indexes—which is evidence of ballot stuffing and fraud.” While they are still studying the evidence, he explained that “this means there were ballots fed into the system more than once—repeatedly.” This issue showed up in the Antrim County election to the tune of 1,060 potential fraudulent phantom votes that showed up in the hand recount according to DePerno and do not match the records held by Secretary of State Benson. //

Here is an excerpt from an election night county-by-county analysis of voter registration trends in Michigan by Seth Keshel that provides ample rationale for a state-wide audit. Recommend reading the entire analysis report here.

The consistent characteristic in the shift in Michigan’s political landscape is the declining Democratic Party raw vote totals, and the increasing Republican totals. Thus far, according to the Decision Desk unofficial vote tally, President Trump is substantially adding to his vote totals in every Michigan County, while his opponent adds votes at a greater percentage, often in counties that have trended steadily away from Democrats since at least 2008.

All counties showing two consecutive cycles of inverse party trend (Republican up twice, Democrat down twice), with Democrats substantially up this year, may be subject to counting errors, or “glitches,” like those reported in Antrim County. These voting machines and their associated software should be audited and examined by coding professionals, especially if the recent newsworthy events regarding corrupted voting software are widespread. //

According to the official results, there were ZERO write-in votes for that precinct. It is also pretty strange that Biden got 95% of the votes in that district. This table is for the entire city of Detroit. There were no write-in votes for any and all races in the Detroit results. That means adjudication was not being used (as Kaminsky realized after the election). //

The official election results transmission from Michigan reveals that a vote spike of 149,772 total votes — 135,290 or 95% of them for Biden and 5,968 votes (4%) for Trump — occurred approximately 3 hours after the delivery of votes (6:30 AM) on November 4, 2021. This is the single most anomalous data point in the 2020 election.

if there’s no there there, what’s the big deal? One would think progressives would be excited to prove wrong those who think the election was fraudulent. One would think they’d be encouraging these audits, if for no other reason than to dunk on conservatives when they are ultimately proven right. And if those progressives think that audits themselves may be corrupt, does that not reinforce the point that perhaps the American people should concerned about election integrity?

There is no mechanism by which Donald Trump could be reinstated as POTUS in the event of proof of massive fraud. While there are many conservatives that hold on to this hope, it is little more than that…hope. Still, the audits are perfectly reasonable and even necessary if the American people are ever expected to move on from this and trust future election results. To avoid the chaos that is currently tearing our nation apart, it only makes sense to make every effort to bring transparency into the elections process.

In an Arizona Senate hearing on the audits, Senator Karen Fann gave an excellent and reasonable explanation as to why these audits matter, and in fact why they are absolutely imperative. Listening to her reasoning, it is hard to imagine anyone taking issue with a process that allows voters to peek at the integrity – or lack thereof – of their own election process.

Fann says these audits aren’t about Trump, they are about transparency and restoring faith in the election process for the American people. She reminded the detractors that “voters are constituents” and they have expressed fear and reservations about vote-counting in their state. As representatives of their constituents, it is literally the state senate’s job to respond to those questions and provide answers, if that is what the people desire. The Senate has the responsibility to ease those fears by proving them wrong or by proving them right and passing laws to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was infuriated that anyone would raise questions about the election in his state. The election in Georgia, Raffensperger assured us was “safe, secure, honest.”

People questioned that at the time and now there are still concerns that Tucker Carlson raised last night on his show about Fulton County, Georgia. Carlson highlighted two of the major concerns: that ballot images showed votes were scanned twice and that seven audit tally sheets showed falsified totals. Now, one can try to make excuses for ballots being scanned twice, although as Tucker showed, there was video of it being done repeatedly. What’s hard to get around is the falsified tally sheets. As he explained they would show, for example, a distribution of votes with some going to Joe Biden, some to President Donald Trump, and some to Jo Jorgensen. But then it would be tallied as all for Biden. What’s the explanation for that? It doesn’t seem like there could be any innocent explanation for that. //

Here are seven key moments that occurred before and after lawmakers were forced to suspend their debate of evidence of voter fraud and other election irregularities and shelter in place. //

4. Cruz Offers ‘Door Number 3’
   Also before the rioters breached the Capitol, Cruz made the case for naming an Electoral Commission as a “credible, impartial body to hear the evidence” as part of an emergency 10-day audit of six disputed states. //

After the 1876 presidential election, Congress appointed an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden.

The panel was made up of five House members, five senators, and five Supreme Court justices. The commission decided four disputed states–South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and Oregon–in favor of Hayes.

The best method for electing the president of the United States, debated by the Founding Fathers, is a bone of contention generations later. Today, many call the Electoral College outdated. But Carly Terry, a new high school graduate from Nassau County, Florida, argued in an award-winning essay that the Founders settled on the Electoral College for a reason, and it remains the best way to elect the president.

Terry was awarded a $10,000 scholarship from the U.S. Constitution Scholarship Foundation for her essay as a senior in defense of the Electoral College. She and Howard Pines, a founder of the organization, join the podcast to discuss precisely why we shouldn’t abandon the Electoral College.

“At least 36 batches of mail-in ballots from the November election were double counted in Fulton County. That’s a total of more than 4000 votes. Those numbers come from a group called VoterGA, which along with Bob Cheeley sued to get them. The final tally from the double counts we know about amounts to more than 3300 votes for Joe Biden and 865 votes for Donald Trump,” Carlson said. //

Voter GA had tried to get the audit tally sheets but Fulton County wouldn’t release more than 100,000 of them initially. But Voter GA finally got some of them. They said that they found 7 audit tally sheets that were falsified. For example, a batch containing 59 ballot images for Joe Biden and 42 for Donald Trump was reported as 100 for Joe Biden and zero for Trump. The seven batches of ballot images had 705 votes — 554 for Biden, 140 for Trump, and 11 for Jorgensen. However, the tally sheets showed a higher vote total and had 100 percent of the votes going to Biden – 850 for Biden, 0 for Trump, and 0 for Jorgensen. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution doesn’t address that tally sheet problem in their article on the matter.

Carlson notes other issues but makes the greater point that the way to quell concerns is to address the questions, not to shut them down.

Our Republic is on the line. But it’s not because of election security laws from the Republicans, but from efforts to suborn the Constitution from the Democrats.

When the Ranked Choice Voting elimination process began the day after election day, the vote totals at the start included both the actual votes cast on election day as well as the 135,000 votes still in the tabulation software from the test.

All through the ten rounds of elimination, that super-duper validation process that ensures accuracy of the outcome never noticed that vote totals being aggregated were 15% higher than the vote totals reported on election night.

I guess no one was assigned the “Make sure the number on this line is the same as the number on that line” responsibility in the Elections Office.

And this brings me back to the headline. New York City — for a week — has been counting 135,000 “ballots” as part of the tabulation process that were never cast. No one noticed.

Yet the Democrats and the media claim that GOP efforts to make state election officials “check your work” in November were an assault on democracy when a combined total of 42,500 votes in three states determined the outcome of the election. Those states were using radically different election processes involving millions of mailed-in ballots for the first time, and in some instances using voting machines and software that had never been used before. //

It took NYC a week to recognize a blatant and obvious idiotic error — and it only did so after it was pointed out by one of the candidates and the media.

Now consider, on the other hand, how long it would take to unearth a well-planned and well-concealed exercise to artificially increase the vote totals of one candidate with the cooperation of political allies in a municipal government’s election office.

The system is broken.

Simple as that.

Jenna Ellis
@JennaEllisEsq
Buried deep in the Atlantic piece is this real gem.

To my knowledge, Barr never interviewed one witness or reviewed one affidavit.

He simply formed a conclusion, sandbagged Trump’s effort to get to the truth, and let the clock run out. //

According to The Atlantic, the DOJ never opened a formal investigation into any of the claims.

Think about that for a second. Of course, if they never open any investigation, they’re never going to find anything. Yet he applied that expletive to it anyway.

So what did he actually do, if anything?

Reader Alert:

Majority of U.S. likely voters support audits of election results ... //

Speaking of knowing about it, isn’t it odd that the Democrat-media complex spent the past four years railing that “Trump stole the election (with Russia’s help)” but somehow never called for any forensic audits to “prove” their claims? Makes one wonder what they had to hide in 2016 (and other elections gone by).
