The Epistemology of Election Audits
American Thinker ^ | 29 Jun, 2021 | Jon N. Hall

Posted on 06/29/2021 3:40:41 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The need for election audits is proof that our elections are not to be trusted.

Republicans seem confident about their chances for taking back the U.S. House in the 2022 midterm elections. Some might even think that victory is a “done deal” because the electorate has finally gotten wise to what the Dems are really up to, and to the true nature of their authoritarian party.

Republicans might well be correct in their reading of voter sentiment, but it might not make any difference. GOP strategists need to throttle back their optimism, for the changes to elections that worked for the Dems in “electing” a president in 2020 could also work for them in 2022 congressional elections. And not only might the Dems employ scams like mail-in ballots, they’ll also have millions of “new voters” they’ve allowed to invade the country and whom the Biden administration will then relocate to Red States for maximum effect on elections.

Republicans like the sad Liz Cheney, who believe that the 2020 presidential election expressed the true will of the People, also need to think again. For even if Biden did legitimately win the election, no one can prove that, no one knows.

Now, there’s a big word in the headline -- “epistemology.” Some may need to be reminded of what that five-dollar word means. Epistemology is the study of how we know. It’s a branch of philosophy with several competing theories, but we don’t need to get in the weeds. With regard to our elections, all the American voter needs to know about knowing is how the states verify the eligibility of the voter and then add his vote to the appropriate counter.

The fact that democRATs are trying to stop the audits is all the proof I need that they are trying to avoid being caught for cheating and stealing the election.

From the article:
One way to access that database is to do a direct read of it with the SSN, which is why the Voter ID should be the SSN.

Non-starter. You would expose every number to fraud for the taking? No reason a unique identifier can’t be assigned when you register to vote or assigned after registration.

“The fact that democRATs are trying to stop the audits ...

Conservatives are trying to stop investigations of the Jan 6 scuffle. Does that mean conservatives are trying to hide the truth of that event?

And THAT is the central point: if an audit is ever called for, it means that essential trust in ALL elections is broken. The Az audit will mean near nothing, regardless of results. Except it does mean that elections as run now in some states cannot be trusted.
Imagine this: if you were playing cards with a dude and it was proven he cheated, why oh why would you ever play with him again? The old-style Vegas casinos has a FINAL solution for cheaters. A hole in the desert seems a bit drastic, but how about flogging?

......
Disagree. if the results come in that biden AND the Arizona senator were elected fraudulently—the first thing that arizona legislature do is decertify the —the arizona senator. And put the republican candidate in the US senate.

That will change the balance of power in the senate.

That’s this year.

The next thing that happens is that every republican controlled state in the union will run audits. The political pressure to do so will be just too intense. Democrat controlled states may be able to resist the political pressure.

The fallout from that happens next year.
