Republicans in Arizona are facing electoral backlash after the widely-panned audit of votes in Maricopa County has dominated local press for months.
Laurie Roberts, a columnist for The Arizona Republic, on Monday wrote about a new poll showing 62% of Republicans in the state wrongly believe Trump won the 2020 election and 27% believe he will be reinstated even though the Constitution does not allow such a thing to occur.
"But here's the thing. Most people do have faith in the system. In fact, 66% of Arizona voters polled say there is no credible evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the 2020 election results. Put another way, Arizona voters, by a nearly 2-1 margin, discount all the crazy conspiracy talk," she wrote.
"That includes a whopping 85% of Democrats and 76% of those all-important independent voters the ones Republicans will need if they hope to win back the Senate in 2022 or hang onto control of the state. Even 39% of Republican voters aren't buying the fraud talk," she explained.

(21,856 posts)conspiracy laden nonsense.
If anything, everyone of these people perpetuating this nonsense should be outed in AZ and ridiculed endlessly. They also should be banned for life for participating in any election events/etc., since their integrity is shot to hell. Would you trust any of these people around your ballots that you cast in the future?
If any claims to vote tampering or vote fraud, etc. are to be made, then a very close look at these idiots performing the 'audit' should be examined very closely, for possibly tampering w/ already counted ballots (attempting to change original ballot markings, etc. to throw counts off, etc.), due to very sloppy procedures undertaken w/ this so called 'audit'.
