County officials in Arizona reported few suspicious ballots, undercutting Trump's claims

[hookaleft]

PHOENIX — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year's presidential election, undercutting former President Donald Trump's claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state's most populous county.

The 182 cases represent instances where problems were clear enough that officials referred them to investigators for further review. So far, only four cases have led to charges, including those identified in a separate state investigation. No one has been convicted. No person's vote was counted twice.

While it's possible more cases could emerge, the numbers illustrate the implausibility of Trump's claims that fraud and irregularities in Arizona cost him the state's electorate votes. In final, certified and audited results, Biden won 10,400 more votes than Trump out of 3.4 million cast.

AP's findings align with previous studies showing voter fraud is rare. Numerous safeguards are built into the system to not only prevent fraud from happening but to detect it when it does.

1. It won't matter...

Even finding a single one will reinforce their narrative that the election was stolen. Because "if they found that one, how many millions of others did they miss?"

2. You know they tried to gin up something to prove massive fraud. I wonder what their best effort

was? One of those idiots had to have put together something crazy that just would not fly. In the end, no one came up with something that might work and not be risking people going to prison. They had one job and they failed. This is just to show something and hope to keep suspicions alive.

3. So far, the only cases of actual voter fraud I have seen reported have been of Trump supporters

casting ballots on behalf of their dead relatives...

Should I suspect that there was massive voter fraud actually committed on behalf of Trump? At least there are some documented cases of it happening...

I have my doubts about the validity of the Trump vote-- with a good number of Republicans and independents abandoning him in 2020, how does he pull off an even bigger popular vote count than in 2016? Since we did in fact win, there is no need to actually look for it-- but a number of cases are being or have been prosecuted. Are they only the tip of the iceberg of pro-Trump voter fraud?



To the next person who tells me there was "voter fraud" in 2020, I intend to reply "YES, I believe there WAS-- voter fraud committed to cast extra votes for Donald Trump!"
