Martha Stoddard Oct 5, 2021 Updated 1 hr ago
LINCOLN A Nebraska lawmaker has joined colleagues from across the country in calling for a 50-state audit of the 2020 presidential election results.
State Sen. Rob Clements, a Republican from Elmwood, signed on to a letter addressed To the American People that seeks a forensic audit of every state election, similar to the just-completed audit in Maricopa County, Arizona.
That months-long review, conducted by allies of former President Donald Trump, concluded last month with presidential vote counts virtually identical to the countys official tally. However, Trump backers point to other findings, which are disputed by local election officials, as justification for continued questioning of the election results.
The letter, dated Monday and signed by 92 state legislators from multiple states, pointed to the Arizona audit as a key basis for seeking a nationwide review. It calls for states to decertify their presidential electors if the audit shows an inaccurate election was held. It also calls for scrubbing the voter rolls through a canvass of voters.
Our representative republic suffered a corrupted 2020 election, the letter said. This is our historic obligation to restore the election integrity of the vote as the bedrock of our constitutional republic.

(82,849 posts)We'll start with an audit of your latest election. If it turns out there was any fraud, you have to resign because you're not a legitimately elected official, and the process ends. If it turns out your election was squeaky clean, you get to keep your seat because there was and is no fraud, and the process ends.
We have a deal, Rob?

(15,199 posts)Are you willing to have an audit of the Senatorial ballots in Maine, North Carolina, and Kentucky as well? Any chance there were any shenanigans there? Hmmm?
How about some of those House races? And local elections?
No? Just the Presidential election? That's the only one you want to "audit"?
Go F yourself.

Clements is a nobody from nowhere. This coverage of his buffoonish comments is already too much.
Ignoring him is the best approach. He's certainly not getting his wish.
