“When it comes to the audit, like the three audits that preceded it, it’s now over. The outcome stands and the 2020 election in Arizona is over.”
“There will be no decertification of the 2020 election — the audit does not call for one, and even if it had, there is no lawful way to decertify. As we have every step of the way, Arizona will follow the law,” Ducey continued.
The audit team did an outstanding job. They did what they were paid to do and uncovered many irregularities with the 2020 Maricopa County election, including over 49,000 ballots of questionable validity. I watched the three-hour presentation of the audit results. If you have not read the actual report that was provided to the Arizona Senate, you should do yourself a favor and read it. If you still believe media accounts that questioned the competence of the auditors to conduct the audit, then you should take the time to watch the team's presentation to the Senate.
The purpose of the audit was never to have the election results overturned or decertified, it was to identify serious problems with the election process and to recommend improvements to the Arizona Senate. Despite the months of efforts to impede and belittle the auditors, the auditors produced a very thorough and credible report. Predictably, Democrats and the media have focused almost exclusively on the ballot recounts instead of the more important findings of the audit.

The libs on here are much better with time management than you are. Why spend all that time learning for themselves when that Maddow dude can sum it up for them in less than 3 minutes? hehehe...

I watched quite a bit of the hearing but confess that for part of the time, I had it playing in the background and listened while I was doing other things. I did pay close attention to the segment presented by an M.I.T PhD in which he explained the problems with duplicate ballots and other ballots that appeared to be faked. Some ballots were counted that had been stamped valid where the signatures were supposed to be. Other ballots appeared to have validation stamps pre-printed on the ballots that were actually behind other elements on the page.
Similar audits need to be conducted in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. If Republican legislatures do not fight Democrats' efforts to pull the same stunts with mail-in ballots in 2022 and 2024, they may not get another opportunity to ensure fair elections in battleground states.
If the Arizona Attorney General finds any cases of deliberate fraud among the 49,000+ questionable ballots and the person responsible can be identified, then they must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The real value of the audit was the identification of areas that can be improved, including new state legislation, and identifying fraud, but if those guilty of fraud go unpunished, then they will not be deterred from committing similar fraud in the future.
Hopefully, other states will conduct similar large forensic audits. I would love to see it happen here in Virginia, where my county always submits most of its vote counts much later than the rest of the state. Invariably, the votes from Fairfax County are just enough to swing close elections to Democrats. The Democrat media and Fox News called Virginia for Biden in 2020 very early, despite the fact that Trump enjoyed a comfortable lead throughout most of election night.
The same thing happens in major Democrat strongholds like Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Atlanta, etc., in every election.

Fact. And Dem strongholds in FL used to be the worst of all until recently cleaned up somewhat. Lots of low-information people still think all the swing states stopping counting on election night was just a coincidence and nothing to see there...
^^^I agree with everything you said, but remember the media is going to do to every Republican what they did to Trump, and almost no Republican will fight back like Trump did. We are sliding toward a uniparty in Washington that will control every aspect of our lives and most of the Republicans in Washington are on board. At least Trump will fight them and expose them - members of both parties.
