This article is merely the latest to underscore that the reviews of various #election2020 races shouldn't be viewed in isolation. Many are part of a broader effort to undermine the legitimacy of #election2020. apnews.com/article/donald…
1/Whether it's the well-run forensic audit conducted by @WAuditors of a state representative race in NH, the abomination being conducted in Maricopa County, AZ (also known as #AZAudit), or other questionable reviews, such as those being contemplated in Fulton County, GA or WI.
2/It's important that the public understand the differences between what triggered these various reviews. For example, NH's audit arose from an actual gap in vote tallies in a race for state representative. cnn.com/2021/05/25/pol…
3/The reviews in AZ, GA and WI don't appear to stem from any actual gap in vote tallies, but rather misguided views that the #election2020 results aren't legitimate. Both AZ and GA have already audited their results multiple times, and WI's audit validated its results as well.
4/It's also important that people know the different reviews being conducted in different places so that folks can assess their credibility. For example, @JenAFifield recently published an insightful piece about what real election audits should look like. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
5/We're accustomed to election officials adopting best practices from other states to improve the administration of their elections. We should now be prepared for the possibility that some legislators are engaging in a similar practice to cast further doubt on our elections.
6/As folks continue to make sense of the #election2020 reviews, some media to follow include @JessicaHuseman, @grace_panetta, @JenAFifield (AZ), @jeremyduda (AZ), @brahmresnik (AZ), @Elaijuh (PA), @patrickdmarley (WI), @AdamSextonWMUR (NH), @stphnfwlr (GA) and @markniesse (GA).*
7/*This list is, of course, not a complete one. I certainly welcome other additions folks have and apologize ahead of time for anyone I mistakenly left off.
