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?
The Az audit will mean near nothing, regardless of results.

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.
