Didn’t Arizona have a full and thorough audit? Yeah, what is up with that?
they weren’t allowed to check the signatures during the “audit”
I suppose that if you audit with fraudulent criteria, the results will be exactly what the ruling class want.
The signature match is done by comparing the signature on the ballot ENVELOPE against the signature on the voter registration record. The ballot itself does NOT have a signature, so as to maintain privacy.
Once a ballot is removed from the envelope, it then gets mixed in with all other ballots and is counted. If you count those ballots again in an audit, you will (or should) get the same totals. It is not possible to exclude the ballots that did not have a legal signature match performed once they’re mixed in with the other ballots.
They had a full and thorough RECOUNT. Not an Audit.
“I have 12 apples and I won.” Is the recount. Yep... there are 12 “apples” there.
Audit. “Well, actually... you have 6 apples, 2 of which are rotted. 4 are plastic decorative apples. 1 is actually an orange. The last 1 is a Welsh Corgi. You didn’t win.”
