More than six months after President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump by seven million votes and 74 electoral votes, the hunger for third-party, partisan reviews of the 2020 election among conspiracy theorists and Trump supporters throughout the country isn't dissipating.
Outside of the ongoing state GOP-led audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, no other major, official post-election audits are currently in motion. But the desire among Trump loyalists to rewrite history by recounting ballots that have already been counted and certified is spreading far beyond south-central Arizona.
For months leading up to the November election and in the months since, Trump has pushed lies about election fraud, amplifying baseless claims of a "rigged" or "stolen" election that culminated in the January 6 Capitol insurrection when a mob of pro-Trump rioters attacked the Capitol as Congress moved to certify Biden's win.
Elections experts told The Associated Press the Arizona audit - though widely condemned and mocked, even among some Republicans - has set a dangerous precedent.
"This is bad enough to see it happen once," Eddie Perez, an expert on voting systems at the OSET Institute, told the AP about Arizona, but seeing it elsewhere in the country is "dangerous for democracy.'"
Since Democrats won control of the federal government in the 2020 election, GOP lawmakers at the state level have indtroduced and in some cases, passed, a flurry of voting rights legislation aimed at appeasing Trump and his allies' baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election by making voting access more difficult in many instances.
And in recent weeks, GOP leaders across the US at the state, county, and local levels have undertaken efforts and attempts to stage "reviews" of the 2020 election in hopes of sowing doubt and stoking anger among vocal conservatives.

When the first state overturns the results they can stop using the word “lies” and “baseless”
Oh, they’ll keep on using them. As well as rant endlessly about undermining Democracy.

I'll bet her Twittsewer timeline is a real piece of work.
TOTAL vote fraud in 2020.
Every news organization cooperated in 2000 to recount all of Florida’s ballot and no matter how many times they counted, they could not make Gore the winner.
Took them 9 months.
The amount of propaganda directed against these audits confirms that there is something there.
TOTAL vote fraud in 2020.
*************
2020 was for sure an abnormality as far as elections go. What
people were used to was thrown out the window and no one
knew the heck was going on. They didn’t seem to care either
Well they could, but they can now and they don’t.
Hillary still claims Trump cheated and SHE won the 2016 election - and I didn't her anything out of the media about "unverified claims," "claims without proof," or "mistakenly believe" - as they constantly say about anyone who questions the obvious voter fraud of 2020.
UNPROVEN.
It’s interesting that they say no other major audits are happening, but there is one in NH that is underway, although it’s local. However, they found that local election was having 3 D votes for every R, I believe, and that the machines were swapping the votes to favor Democrats due to how the machines read the ballots which had folds in them.
That’s something that needs to be seriously considered, because they used the Dominion machines.
Absolutely UNPROVEN!
