A Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker who toured the Arizona state Senate’s review of Maricopa County’s recent election said he “absolutely” wants to replicate the controversial process in his home state.

1. we're now in a situation where as a country we can't even agree on how to count a ballot

Pretty sad state of affairs.

DoJ might be able to shut down these unconstitutional "audits" but so far they have been ineffective in enforcing our voting rights.

Where we need to make up ground is in the state legislatures. We secured the White House and performed well enough at the Federal level but this turnout also needs to flow down ballot to state legislatures where we're getting slammed. All of the "audit" states are red (aka deranged and minority oppressive).

3. If there is a way Americans can complicate something, they will

Reference US elections, US tax code and US healthcare (twice as expensive per capita and not as effective as other countries).

6. Not Americans, republicans. They complicate things n purpose.

4. +1 about focusing on state legislatures and winning them. . . .nt

5. It's quite depressing and unnerving while considering how far we've fallen.

You're correct in critiquing how down ballot results not in our favor materialize.

I don't know what the future holds.

One saving grace is that Biden and Harris are now in. I get sick inside contemplating had it gone the other way.

Still have a fighting chance? Hanging my hope on that. Though as long as the 'FG' continues to appear, the base is emboldened.

I pray there's (speculated on) behind-the-scenes strong strategy that will bring a positive resolution. Otherwise...

7. Same with Wisconsin, Rachel Maddow reported on that tonight:

GOP Push Trump's Big Lie To Wisconsin For An AZ-Style Audit Circus - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, talks with Rachel Maddow about how Wisconsin Republicans are aiming for an Arizona-style fake election audit circus to give themselves an advantage in 2024, and how Democratic Governor Tony Evers is the only thing standing in their way. Aired on 06/02/2021.

8. Now Wisconsin?! Whatta waste!! That's all they're good for.

Wasting our time, money, resources.

Sheer folly.

9. I know! You'd think they'd have learned after the wasteful debacle in Arizona!
