A review of 2020 presidential voting ends in embarrassment for the GOP in Arizona. Yet similar audits are being announced elsewhere. Here's an AP explainer about Republican election reviews.

just a few hours after Trump released a statement telling Republican Gov. Greg Abbott that “Texans demand a real audit to completely address their concerns.”

Proponents like to use the term “forensic” in conjunction with “audit” or “investigation.” But the term “forensic” describes techniques used to investigate a crime. There’s no evidence to support any of the claims made by Trump and his allies, let alone evidence of a crime. The review had been widely criticized — even by some Republicans — as being riddled with bias and incompetence.

In Michigan, Republican legislative leaders resisted calls for an Arizona-style “audit.” They instead empaneled a GOP-led Senate committee that held hearings on allegations, reviewed thousands of pages of subpoenaed documents and produced a report that found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud.

My God how much is this costing the public purse at a time when the economy needs help.

Not getting why 'embarrassing'. For me it somewhat restores my faith in the voting system, and that is a good thing. If audits were performed earlier it's likely there wouldn't have been insurrection.

The United States has been unable to wash away the stain of pseudo democracy in the 2020 presidential election!

Time to vote these clowns out

These fraudits are only to get voter info and grift.

The GOP says universal childcare and community college education are too expensive, along with literally every single other program that would actually help people, but they have no problem spending millions of dollars on these ridiculous audits.

That’s what you took away? Wow, you really are fake news.

They clearly feel no embarrassment or shame.

What a dud. The partisan fake audit found the President Biden won Arizona and they found more votes for him and less for TFG. The so-called discrepancies were due an incompetent and inept auditing group.

They want to keep the Trump voters riled up so they won't give up and vote again in 2024. Keep the money coming...

It's all they have.

To be fair, they should have been embarrassed at the beginning of the audit.

The fraudit showed Biden won more votes, so the GOP is spreading the fraudit to Pennsylvania, will Biden get more votes out of this fraud too?

Except for the 5000 people who voted twice.

It’s 1-1. Democrat audit went to the Republicans but they refused to audit the presidential part. Republicans audit went to the democrats.

The GOP is fundraising off of the election lie (they are “fighting”) so they have to keep the storyline active (Thank you media).

This is to appease not to change results

Lol, excuse me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Duplicate ballots? No no no, honey. This ain’t over.

When are the individual states able to stipulate restrictions on calling for audits of election results? There must be accountability. Who pays for these audits, anyway? At this point, election audits of the 2020 GE are a waste of time & money.🚫🇺🇸🚫📜🚫⚖👎🏿👎👎🏾😷😡

embarrassnent,' not possible' for the gop party/.the more they buy into their block the vote the happier they all become/.they have no merit or ideas on how to help people they just make it tougher for us all/.obstructors,war mongers,remember when u go to vote in 2021/.gop out/.

The results will be the same and that is the plan. Gain “legitimacy” by appearing to acknowledge facts now, and turn it upside down in 2022. Watch how the MSM plays along.

get the fuck over it lmaooo YOU BUMS LOST
