'It makes us look like idiots': Some in GOP distance themselves from Arizona audit

At least some Republicans in Arizona are admitting the conspiracy theory-fueled recount of millions of ballots in the state is embarrassing.

Weeks into the Republican-led audit of some 2.1 million votes from Arizona's 2020 presidential election, current and former Arizona GOP lawmakers are coming out to criticize the effort, saying the recount is turning into an embarrassing debacle for the party.

To date, the audit had mostly been met by criticism from Democrats and voting rights advocates. They have questioned the need for the recount, as two previous audits had found no fraud nor irregularities with the state's results. And they slammed the effort as partisan, run by a Donald Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist and violating election laws in order to prove Trump's lies of a stolen election.

But now Republicans are echoing those concerns, saying the mismanaged effort is making the party look bad.
