Not too long ago Texans had the respect and admiration of the world for tolerance, honesty, simple integrity, and fair-dealing. We could go anywhere on the globe and be met with friendly smiles. Not now. Thirty years of Republican business greed and rabid support of intolerant fundamentalist religion have turned our reputation upside down. Texans are now greeted with suspicion and disgust for our arrogant ignorance and corrupt politics. Hello Mississippi and Alabama—here we come!
Democrats aren’t worried about an audit, what democrats worry about are things actually getting audited fairly since we will accept a true and fair audit result without the BS of it being stolen after an obvious loss (see 2016).
Unlike Rump, hey Abbott is going to keep the audits going until he find one with the results he likes. Rump just jumps the line and claims victory in the face of reality, as usual. The audits are just another way for Rump to scam $$$ from his morons. Keep up the fight and send me more money!
“The secretary of state office said a “full and comprehensive forensic audit” had begun in Dallas, Harris, Tarrant and Collin counties. It was not immediately clear what the exact process of the review would be. “Forensic audit” is not a well-defined term among election experts, but Trump and his supporters have latched on to it in an effort to further his lies about his electoral loss in 2020.
“Texas currently does not have a permanent secretary of state. The position, which is appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate, is currently vacant, with Joe Esparza, a former aide for Abbott, overseeing the office on an interim basis
“This, however, has not deterred Trump supporters, who have sought to export the process around the country.
“The review in Texas also follows a brutal battle over the state’s election laws. Republicans passed a new election law in the state that adds new restrictions to voting, which came after state House Democrats launched a protracted walkout that delayed passage, but ultimately did not kill the effort. The new law added further restrictions to mail voting in the state, and targeted pandemic-era practices from Harris County, including 24-hour and drive-in early voting.
“That new law, SB 1, calls for the secretary of state to conduct “randomized audits” immediately after midterm and presidential elections, but lays out few parameters for how it is to be conducted, leaving that up to the judgment of the secretary of state’s office.”
If you remember the many Benghazi “investigations”, republicans will keep “investigating” something until they get the answer they want, no matter how long (or how many times) it takes or how many lies they have to tell.

In an exceedingly rare occurrence, Trump was correct: he is no puppet. He is the puppet master.

Given the way the audits have gone so far won’t it show that he won by a smaller margin than before the audit?

The amount of money that is going to be wasted on the fraudit could probably fix our power grid. It’s disgusting.

And, they are not going to use some fly by night fraud like Cyber Ninjas.
They are going to use a Reputable firm: Cyber Voudon.

Why would anyone be afraid of an audit if all went well? At least it will keep our minds off of the incompetent senile in office.

I thought Trump won Texas. Wouldn’t it be funny, if the audit gave more votes to President Biden? LOL.
