Maricopa County ballot audit

Stupid is an understatement for this. Is it even possible to overrule Electoral College certifications after they've been certified by both the state and federal government?

If this becomes a precedent, maybe Democrats should do this with the 2000 Palm Beach County results. Then we can retroactively make Gore President...or something if the results indeed change. And keep in mind, 500 votes is far more likely to change hands than 11,000.

But I suspect, as usual, that this is just the GOP trying to make reality reflect their cognitive dissonance. That doesn't make it okay, of course. The GOP are circling the toilet drain of authoritarianism still, and it should not be tolerated.

AP: Few Arizona voter fraud cases undercut Trump’s claims

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election, undercutting former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state’s most populous county.

An Associated Press investigation found 182 cases where problems were clear enough that officials referred them to investigators for further review. So far, only four cases have led to charges, including those identified in a separate state investigation. No one has been convicted. No person’s vote was counted twice.

While it’s possible more cases could emerge, the numbers illustrate the implausibility of Trump’s claims that fraud and irregularities in Arizona cost him the state’s electorate votes. In final, certified and audited results, Biden won 10,400 more votes than Trump out of 3.4 million cast.

That's actually kind of a confusing headline with the way it's worded to me.
