This is important. Fraud must be proved (and it hasn't), not disproved, but when one out of three Americans mistakenly believe there was some funny business, an audit like this that is not intended to change the results *should* put the conspiracy theories to rest.

I realize this is optimistic. But after a month of pessimism, I should be afforded a tiny sliver of hope.
The envelopes can be audited but not the ballots. Ballots are anonymized. They cannot be matched to signatures, but an audit will show what — if any — percentage of envelope signatures cannot be validated. Remember, these were already checked twice.
It’s another data point. That’s all. When they were trying to overturn the election on a supposition (read: guess) that was a different story. It was a means to an end. An envelope audit now will likely solve problems, not create them. I hope.
