    Let's be clear about this.

    Georgia conducted a full audit with the assistance of an outside firm, VotingWorks, to investigate irregularities in the election. No large scale irregularities were found.

    They did a hand recount as part of the audit process. They also searched for any ballots that could have been excluded from the original count. They found a few thousand ballots that were not counted by mistake. Trump gained a small number of votes as a result. There was zero evidence that machines had been flipping Biden votes to Trump votes, demonstrating that conspiracy theories about this are without merit.

    The audit was overseen by Brad Raffensperger, a Republican who is Georgia's Secretary of State. From a party standpoint, he had every reason to make sure he did everything in his power to ensure that Trump was treated fairly in the election.

    Georgia's thorough audit should fully debunk any of the Trump campaign's allegations about voting fraud and irregularities in Georgia. Moreover, because the Trump campaign was incorrect about allegations in Georgia, it should be a strong signal that there's almost certainly zero merit to their even more outlandish claims about fraud in other states.

    It is mind-boggling that you would interpret this to mean there was fraud in a couple of counties. There is incredibly compelling evidence to the contrary, yet you won't believe it. I just don't get it.
