Republican-led efforts to re-examine last fall's vote are spreading as experts and election officials warn that the proliferation amounts to a grave threat to U.S. democracy.
At the center of the push is Arizona, where the private company hired by the Republican-controlled state Senate continues its review of more than 2 million Maricopa County ballots, despite prior audits finding no evidence of fraud. With former President Donald Trump and others on the right following that count closely — despite it having no legal ability to overturn the result — GOP officials and voters have pushed for similar probes in at least five other states.
In Georgia, a judge last month awarded a group of plaintiffs, led by a known conspiracy theorist, a limited review of mail-in ballots in Fulton County. (That effort is still being litigated.) In Wisconsin, the Republican state House speaker recently hired a team of retired police officers and an attorney to probe the 2020 election.
In Michigan, state elections officials have warned local clerks in two counties that county commissioners have no authority to require further auditing or third-party reviews of election records and equipment. In New Hampshire, the audit of a single statehouse race - which officials said found no evidence of fraud or malfeasance - was seized upon by the former president and his supporters, who've pushed for its expansion. And in Pennsylvania, a trio of GOP state lawmakers visited the site of the Arizona ballot review and called for a similar probe in the Keystone State.

These same people said Trump was a Russian asset and had the fbi/doj/cia/hsa( and others)doing non-stop investigations. All the while leaking lies that implicated Trump as an enemy of America. And now that we want a look, it’s suddenly a threat to democracy? Does not compute.
Oh OK the “experts” said it’s so and the objective media report what the “experts” say. Good enough for me. Seems legit.
Oh and also the “experts” are “warning” us - just need some scary suspense music to go with. Lol
Where were these experts when the left hyperventilated for six years over Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and for five years with Trump? They have been far less restrained, and never seem to be exhausted.
F them. Illegal Elections are what is actually unsustainable.
Sending in my paperwork for an audit in Michigan. Have joined the GOP to do housecleaning. We have cowbell happening, and more people are joining our movement.
Today there was a review of Michigan’s Antrim County election results as a pay per view event to help with costs. www.electionintegrityforce.com hosted the event that had Mike Lindell, Pat Colbeck and Dr. Douglas Frank if you want to see if it can be downloaded still.
Election fraud by definition is the end of a democratic republic.
Yeah whatever, we’re gunna do it anyway.
No, no.
Stealing elections, graft and lying are very good for democracy.
We need to get them to explain how.
The most pervasive voter fraud in history shouldn’t be investigated for the good of democracy?
Note that Allan Smith of NBCIA is busily filling our Election Fraud Bingo card...
Translation: “Dammit, this Arizona audit is not only gonna prove fraud there, but will cause all the other states to begin auditing. We can’t survive this!”
Articles like this are a good sign. They’re getting desperate.
Election fraud is what will and has torn this democracy apart...
"Republican election audit fever 'unsustainable' for U.S. democracy, experts warn"
