From the article:

"And still, Arizona’s GOP-led state Senate has for months been conducting what it describes as a 'forensic audit' of results in Phoenix’s Maricopa County. The effort has been discredited by election experts and faced bipartisan criticism, but some Republicans, including Trump, have suggested it will uncover evidence of widespread fraud."

20. I know, it's a farce, and costly for the state. My point was that the trumpers will never accept

the AP audit, or any other one unless it shows their boy winning

Arizona should be ashamed

I hope they pay a price for this in 2022

They're stuck between the Scylla of Dominion's lawyers (if they claim they found fraud) and the Charybdis of the MAGAt mob (if they claim they found nothing).

Congrats!

I heard a blip on the radio this morning about "only 200 cases" but I missed who the news story was talking about.

Our Lt. Gov. John Fetterman tweeted this -

“Of the four Arizona cases that have resulted in criminal charges, two involved Democratic voters and two involved Republicans.”

Voter fraud is bullshit and imaginary.

That’s the tweet.

BREAKING: Investigation by @AP finds fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud identified by Arizona’s local election officials out of 3.4 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election. @APChristie @AP_Christina. http://apne.ws/4zruLbX

Fetterman is still trying to collect from the Lt. Gov. of Texas for the GOP voter fraud cases prosecuted here in PA.

So far, that’s a NO.

We got your voter fraud, so where’s PA’s handsome reward??
Is Texas' Dan Patrick prepared to part with his $1 million reward?
Texas' Dan Patrick (R) offered financial rewards for evidence of voter fraud. Then Pennsylvania's John Fetterman (D) came calling.

should provide a basis for legal challenges to the voter restriction/suppression laws that the R state legislatures are enacting....No fraud = no need for voting restrictions.

(if we have any chance of getting some federal Voting Rights legislation passed) - any state that DID pass these bullshit voter suppression laws should automatically be added to a new "pre-clearance" list for DOJ review, since the SCOTUS threw out that part of the VRA claiming it was out of date, and should be reviewed and updated.
