And in doing so it perfectly fulfilled the intent of the audit organizers.
This exercise isn't about finding fraud or errors. It's about motivating the base to send money, buy pillows, sign up for "chat rooms" so they can get on fund raising lists, and get out to vote in 2022.
That's why the process has been dragged out for so long, and why Bannon's now pushing the 50 State Audit grift. The manipulation only works when they can hype something like the "missing" 74K". Bannon & Rudy were doing it yesterday even though the explanation you provided was known to them over the weekend (if not earlier).
It's entertaining theater but I feel sorry for the people who give precious time or money to these grifters.
I have to disagree with your assessment, though you are correct because I did hear one person on the War Room mention the 74K discrepancy yesterday when they should have known. (If there was more than one reference, I missed it)
I certainly understand your skepticism. After what we have seen the last five years, even I, who is an optimist by nature, have become skeptical and even cynical.
How could any of us not?
However I do believe these audits are being pushed in a genuine way, if nothing else but an attempt to save the Golden Goose whose neck is is that Biden and the Left are trying to wring.
