The final, desperate attempt to
overturn the election. A review of the 2.1 million ballots cast in
Maricopa County during the 2020 presidential election, commissioned by Republican state senators and intended to lead to the
August reinstatement of Donald Trump as president.
Conducted by a company actually named Cyber Ninjas, with no experience auditing election results and led by a man who has repeated wild conspiracy theories about election fraud - the "audit" clutched at every fictitious straw and shard of bamboo. The funding - $5.7 million from outside, conservative sources -- cast some slight doubt on its credibility.
"Does everybody understand that the 2020 election was a total disgrace?" Trump recently asked, with odd candor and unintended honesty.
In later years, the phrase "Arizona audit" would come to signify the
hopeless desperation of tragic losers everywhere,
yearning to turn their lives around.
