Maybe they can find MORE votes for President Biden like what happened in Maricopa County in Arizona?
The sad thing is the taxpayers in these states are paying for Donald Trump’s fantasy world utterances….
And the fear of some GOP lawmakers to ignore Trump’s idiocy ….
Republicans in other states don’t appear to be taking any lessons away from the election audit in Maricopa County, which dragged on for months longer than expected and drew intense scrutiny throughout its lifetime.
Last week, hours after Trump publicly demanded that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott back legislation to launch a “forensic audit of the 2020 election,” the Texas secretary of state’s office announced a “comprehensive forensic audit” of the election results in four of the state’s largest counties.
The audit was one of the first times such a review has been launched in a state the former president won. While Republicans had pushed for audits in swing states that handed Trump defeats, such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Trump won Texas by about 6 points.
Abbott defended his state’s decision to review the results of the 2020 election, saying that it has nothing to do with Trump. Rather, he said the audits would be conducted out of “a responsibility to ensure the integrity of and confidence in the elections in the state of Texas.”
“There are audits of every aspect of government,” Abbott said on “Fox News Sunday.” “We have a state auditor, there’s a federal auditor for the way the government operations work. Businesses that are public companies are subject to an annual audit. Why do we audit everything in this world, but people raise their hands in concern when we audit elections, which is fundamental to our democracy?”
