I got a copy of the arizona election audit

[A Black Falcon]

This news is... not news.  We already knew this.  No surprise...

I don't agree, I think it is news that this recount came to a real result.  Donald Trump would much prefer the kind of fake count you see in dictatorships and "managed democracies", but extremely fortunately our real democracy survived and this real recount is a good example of that fact.  Despite Trump and his deluded fanbase's most ardent dreams, America is still a democracy and our elections remain real.  That the "cyber ninjas" did not, or could not, fake the results is a great sign.  They tried to come up with anything in the results they could to throw doubt on the result, but pretty much failed.

Of course, this only means that the Trump wing of the party has moved on to "the whole election was rigged", but still, their own recount proved that the results were real.  I was pleasantly surprised by this, honestly.  I was expecting them to have a much ... faker?  ... result... but no, we got a real one.  It really is great news!

Moving on...

To Trump demanding a recount of Texas' results.  He won there.  He won BIG there, but he wants to do a full investigation of a place he already won.  This is hilarious on three levels.  Firstly, the only two possibilities here are that he confirms something no one even disputes, or that he somehow manages to show that he in fact LOST in that state.  There is no benefit to this.
Secondly, remember in some random speech a few years back when he "jokingly" admitted that he'd only dispute results that showed him as a loser?  He's actually going against that.
Thirdly, the real reason he's doing this is to soothe his fans, and himself, by replaying a "glory days" victory in his head over and over again, like a washed up boxer playing reruns of the best match in their career while sad piano music plays.

If their recounts are going to be like Arizona's, it's a huge waste of time and money but if they want to waste that time and money let them.  The only result will be further disillusionment among his base, probably resulting in some of his people not voting anymore because they don't believe that the real results match up to the fake ones that they wish were true (ie, that Trump won).  Both this and that more of their people are now dying of COVID than ours hurt their future electoral prospects, something Mitch McConnell and co. are surely not too happy about...  Of course, America in general should not be happy about it, because having such a large contingent of deluded cultists is a horrible horrible thing for our democracy.  But it may also ironically help Democrats win.
