QAnon Is Obsessively Watching for the Arizona Recount to Bring Trump Back

Their fervent hope is that the GOP-led audit will trigger some sort of nationwide recount leading to Trump’s triumphant return.

Unraveling viral disinformation and explaining where it came from, the harm it's causing, and what we should do about it.

"SNIP....

While most of the world is focused on the COVID-19 nightmare unfolding in India or the fallout from the Derek Chauvin trial, over in MAGA world there’s only one story that matters: the Maricopa County audit.

For the last five days, Trump supporters and QAnon followers have been obsessively monitoring livestreams of auditors re-counting ballots from the November presidential election in the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix—a GOP-led effort that’s shrouded in mystery and is at least in part being funded by taxpayers. 

A roster of people have signed up to ensure all the cameras inside the building are monitored at all times. Anything suspicious is flagged, shared on MAGA forums and QAnon Telegram channels, and endlessly scrutinized for evidence of wrongdoing. The counting began Friday and is expected to last for 16 days, with 250 people working in two shifts to do the job.

The Republican-orchestrated audit of 2.1 million votes in Arizona’s biggest county, which encompasses the Phoenix metro area, is seen by many as nothing more than a political stunt.

......SNIP"

1. It IS a political stunt, however....

MAGA world will certainly go bonkers and start threatening those that are counting votes if they don't come up with the 'right' result.

2. In the end, Biden's lead will probably increase

3. What are they going to do when

these clowns declare that Trump won? How will they undo all the damage that is being done right now and they alter or destroy ballots.

This is a real question that should have been thought out, because the results are going to be another insurrection.

5. If one honest vote is stolen by these traitors

the whole conspiracy should be locked away, for good.

Justice is watching too.

6. They need a serious civics course

I don't care what they find in Arizona, the congress certified the results of the EC. It's over. And even the Supreme Court, THIS Supreme Court would tell them that it's over. At most, congress would impeach Biden and then it's Harris. Impeach them both and it's Pelosi. Wouldn't the Qanon nut jobs love that!

7. It's been reported the ballot counters took blue and black pens to the job

Any result of this count at this point, regardless, is invalid. As is any future count of the same ballots. Since the possibility of tampering with this recount is documented, its results are not reliable

During a court hearing on Friday, an attorney for Gallardo and the state Democratic Party argued the Senate and the companies it has hired to run the audit do not have adequate policies or procedures in place to conduct a recount in accordance with Arizona law.

The attorney, Roopali Desai, pointed to security breaches at the coliseum and the use of blue pens by recount workers, even though state election procedures specifically call for using red ink that cannot tamper with ballots.
