Wisconsin audit finds 2020 election was secure

Source: The Hill

A nonpartisan audit of the results of the 2020 presidential race in Wisconsin found that the state’s voting machines correctly tabulated the votes cast in the crucial swing state, marking another dismissal of claims by former President Trump and his allies of widespread irregularities.

The report released by the Legislative Audit Bureau did not find any important errors made by the machines. And while a slate of recommendations were made by the elections panel, lawmakers involved in the process said the review underscored the security of the November race.

“Despite concerns with statewide elections procedures, this audit showed us that the election was largely safe and secure,” tweeted Republican state Sen. Robert Cowles, the co-chair of the legislature’s Audit Committee, which ordered the bureau to run the evaluation. “It’s my hope that we can now look at election law changes & agency accountability measures in a bipartisan manner based on these nonpartisan recommendations.”

That's what the Trump Humpers think, anyway. If their guy doesn't come out on top, the results can't possibly be accurate, am I right?

They ignore it. Tfg came out yesterday with his attack on Cindy McCain in which he claimed sans facts that he won Nevada bigly in 2020. No need to back claims up with facts, everybody “knows” he won Nevada. And his brain dead followers lap it up.

Also the cost of defending the ridiculous voter suppression laws some of these states are enacting. Taxpayers have to foot the bill to defend laws that violate their voting rights?
