The Arizona "Audit"

How was Joe Biden and the Democrats able to win on November 3, 2020 in Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc. when their own polling is showing that they are losing voters?
Idiot

smallfil the troll is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

People like him continue to underestimate how powerful the vote was in the urban communities that help Biden to win the U.S. Presidential election.
  • A large % of the urban voters didn't show up to the polls in 2016 in comparison to the vote in 2020.
Further, he can not believe that Biden carried the college educated votes too.
"Biden was able to win these three states [Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania] by improving on Clinton's margins in predominantly suburban and exurban counties around big cities like Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia, where more white voters with a college degree backed the Democratic presidential ticket — a trend that was true across the country,"

Another way to look at it...people not too bright strongly supported Trump like brainwashed cult members.

Arizona GOP voters have lost patience with Trump's 'ridiculous' election audit
https://www.rawstory.com/arizona-audit-2653261036/

Arizona's Republican voters are increasingly becoming unhappy with the audit of the 2020 presidential election votes that is now entering its seventh week, reports the New York Times.

According to the report, many GOP voters in the state were apprehensive about the controversial audit seeking to prove that there was election fraud that prevented Donald Trump from winning the state, and now they are becoming more vocal about it.

According to the Times' Michael Wines, "... the review of 2.1 million votes in Arizona's most populous county has ballooned not just into a national political spectacle, but also a political wind sock for the Republican Party — an early test of how its renewed subservience to Mr. Trump would play with voters," before adding, "The returns to date are not encouraging for the party. A late-May poll of 400 Arizonans by the respected consulting firm HighGround Inc. found that more than 55 percent of respondents opposed the recount, most of them strongly."

Those numbers appear to be borne out by comments from GOP voters interviewed by Wines.

"There's a lot of folks out there trying to make something out of nothing," explained former Marine and self-described lifelong Republican Rob Goins. "I don't think there was any fraud. My opinion of this is that it's a big lie."

Jane Davis, a member of the Republican Party for over 40 years added, "I think it's ridiculous, and I object to their spending any taxpayer money."

According to Dan Harlan, who admits he changed his Republican registration to Democrat so he could influence who the Democrats picked as their nominee, the Arizona Republican Party made a big mistake condoning the audit.

"This audit is being conducted because the Republican Party refuses to look at long-term demographics and realize they can no longer be the party of the white male. And they're doing everything they can to maintain power," he explained. "It's not about democracy; it's about winning. And when any organization becomes more concerned with maintaining itself, losing its core values is no longer important."

Former Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) claims, if local Republicans had to do it over again, they likely would not have approved the audit.

"If they were voting on it again today, they would have withheld doing this, because it's been nothing but a headache," he lamented before warning, "It's a black mark on Arizona's reputation."

Arizona ballot audit backed by secretive donors linked to Trump’s inner circle
Karen Fann, the president of the Arizona state senate, said last year she received a phone call from Trump thanking her for “pushing to prove any fraud”, according to emails obtained by American Oversight, a left-leaning watchdog group. Fann, a Republican, also said she had spoken with Rudy Giuliani, a Trump ally, multiple times last year.

At least $150,000 of the inquiry’s funding has purportedly come from Voices and Votes, a 501(c)(4) run by Christina Bobb, an anchor for the One America News Network (OANN), a rightwing media network that has given air to election conspiracy theories. The group is also run with the White House correspondent Chanel Rion and Courtland Sykes, Rion’s fiance. Bobb spoke with Trump about the review, according to the Washington Post, and emailed Fann affidavits on behalf of Giuliani last year, emails show.


Bobb frequently plugs the effort during shows, where she covers the Arizona review, and on social media, but told BuzzFeed that OANN is not “in any way” affiliated with her fundraising despite the dark money group being run by multiple OANN employees and being promoted on the network. Voices and Votes was incorporated in Wyoming in March, shortly before the inquiry was announced, by Greg Roeberg, an Arizona attorney. A press release from the Trump campaign last year listed a Greg Roeberg as a “key member” of Jewish Voices for Trump. Roeberg said in an email he was not involved with the charity beyond helping it with the initial legal papers. The group declined an interview request.

L Lin Wood, the pro-Trump attorney behind a slew of lawsuits seeking to overturn election results last year, told Talking Points Memo that his non-profit, Fight Back, donated $50,000 to Voices and Votes for the review. But it is not clear what the money is actually going to since the groups are subject to few financial disclosure rules.

Wood, who has promoted fundraising efforts for the review on Telegram, also told TPM that Cyber Ninja chief Logan worked out of Wood’s home to investigate 2020 election voter fraud claims.

Patrick Byrne, the former chief executive of Overstock.com and an ardent Trump supporter, is also leading a group funding the effort. Byrne was involved in what Axios described as the “craziest meeting of the Trump presidency” – a December 2020 summit in the Oval Office that included Michael Flynn, and Sidney Powell, who falsely claimed voting machines had flipped votes for Trump and suggested he use government resources to seize voting machines. Byrne also reportedly screamed at representatives from the White House counsel’s office, saying they were not sufficiently helping to overturn the election.

In April, Byrne’s non-profit, the America Project, launched a Fund the Audit campaign aiming to raise $2.8m. Byrne says he contributed $1m to the effort, but at least another $900,000 has come from unknown sources. Byrne’s non-profit is also helping vet workers who participate in the review, according to the Arizona Republic.

Byrne also served as chief of another dark money group involved in the review, Defending the Republic, though he claims he resigned in April. Created by Powell, Defending the Republic published every Arizona lawmaker’s contact info on their website and promoted a misleading “Election Fraud Facts & Details“ document authored for the Arizona senate by Cyber Ninja’s Logan before the “audit” effort. The document contains disproven claims about voting machine software switching votes from Trump to Biden.

Powell’s group also previously hired Wake Technology Services, Inc (Wake TSI), a subcontractor, to audit election equipment in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, at the request of Doug Mastriano, a state senator who aggressively suggested the election was stolen, according to county documents obtained by the Guardian.

Paula Shives, a Democrat on the three-member county commission, was stunned that the company was allowed to inspect election materials last year. “Who authorized this? When was this scheduled? Who was notified and present during the process?” Shives wrote in a text message to the country’s election director and two commissioners that was obtained by OpenSecrets and the Guardian through a public records request.
