Arizona Republicans want to expand the controversial vote recount to all elections held in 2020

The Republican-controlled Arizona Senate is considering expanding its controversial audit of votes to all elections held in Maricopa County last year.

The Senate in April ordered a recount of votes in last year's presidential and US Senate elections in Arizona's most populous county on the basis of Donald Trump's groundless claim that last year's election was stolen from him as a result of mass fraud.

The recount, which is being conducted by contractors Cyber Ninjas, has been criticized by observers from the Arizona secretary of state's office as shambolic and inaccurate. They said auditors appeared to be seeking to verify conspiracy theories about last year's election using dubious technology.

Joe Biden flipped Arizona in his election win last year, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Arizona since 1991, and Democrat Mark Kelly was elected to the US Senate.

These people are not election officials and according to state law should not have custody of the ballots.

You know they were facilitating the stuffing ballot boxes. That's why they can't believe they lost.

Wow, I don't know what to say. Talk about not knowing when to quit.

"Observers say the audit is shambolic and driven by conspiracy theories."

No shit, Sherlock.

Where Trump somehow picked up hundreds of thousands of new voters while sporting a historically low approval rating.
