Bad Idea Multiplied
More states are auditing presidential election ballots six months after the contest was concluded. It was a dumb idea when Arizona did it. It's still not smart for other states to rehash results. Republicans, under Trump's thumb, can't shake loose from the lie that the election was stolen. The facts and truth don't matter. If they look hard enough, they will certainly find fraud where it doesn't exist. What this is doing to the reputation of the GOP is incalculable at the moment. We will know in the 2022 midterm elections whether the party has damaged itself permanently. While the Trump faithful do not question their allegiance, it is the independent vote that counts the most, and so far, it seems to be poor marketing to ignore them. At some point, the elephants must let the past rest, but it isn't time yet.
