The headline is that, for the 1000th time, an audit has shown no evidence that the results of the 2020 election were wrong.

But just as significantly, the TX audit also undermines the putative basis for all of these “election integrity” laws — reinforcing their ulterior motives.

Trump demanded an audit of election results in Texas—a state he won decisively.

Now, a state-financed audit in four major counties has turned up…pretty much nothing.

The secretary of state chose New Year's Eve to disclose this news.

But Remi Garza, president of the Texas Association of Election Administrators, said there wasn’t anything in the review’s first set of results that raised any alarms for him.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything too far out of the ordinary with respect to the information that’s provided,” said Garza, who serves as the election administrator in Cameron County. “… I hope nobody draws any strong conclusions one way or the other with respect to the information that’s been provided. I think it’s just very straightforward, very factual and will ultimately play a part in the final conclusions that are drawn once the second phase is completed.”

According to the state’s review of the counties’ partial manual counts, which they are already required to conduct under state law, there were few differences between electronic and manual ballot tallies — and counties were able to justify those inconsistencies.

In Collin County, for example, a partial manual count of ballots in three precincts found a vote discrepancy of 17. County officials said the difference was attributable to curbside voters who are allowed to vote from their cars using machines that do not produce a paper record, according to the state’s report.

1. Is Chump going to pay for new electronic voting machines for those 4 counties?

Of course they found nothing, but now the integrity of the electronic voting machines is compromised and they need to be replaced. Who's paying for that?

For the record: The Repukes tried to do the same thing in Pennsylvania and our Attorney General Josh Shapiro put a stop to it. He said every county in PA has brand-new electronic voting machines that were provided by the state government. If any county does a fake audit to "prove" that Chump really won, well OK they're going to pay to replace those new voting machines. The state won't cover the cost. It shut the whole thing down almost immediately.

3. No evidence?

That just proves how fiendishly clever the Democrats are.
