What the frauditors did was kind of an interesting tactic.

First, they leaked an advance "partial draft" which had the number in it which the media reported and everyone concluded that "see, even they are saying the margin was larger".

Then, they released their "full" bullshit report in which they allege that the number of fraudulent votes exceeds the margin of victory. Now, yes, that allegation and conclusion is bullshit, and it was not widely reported in the media, which had already moved on from this particular clown show.

However, politicians like Gosar know that their base followed the "real" report, and its conclusion of fraud. So, with the initial partial release, the frauditors were able to get the media to say that the report shows Biden won, when in fact the report (and again, it is a bogus "audit" anyway), did NOT conclude Biden won.

Not only does this allow politicians to engage in targeted messaging, but it further convinces their base that the media is lying.

Actual Trump supporters are completely unfazed by the fact that the major media all reported the numbers from the initial "leaked" partial report. Conversely, people who do not support Trump are not even aware what the conclusion of the fraudit was.

But, the tactic also gave them publicity, attention and credibility which they should not have gotten in the first place.

But if you go down into the internet ratholes where Trumpers discuss this stuff (and, no, I'm not providing links), you will pretty quickly find out that they are confident that liberals have deluded themselves once again by ignoring the actual results of the fraudit - which are that the apparent Biden win was the result of an overwhelmingly large number of "fraudulent" ballots.

The bottom line is that trumpeting the tally itself is not even relevant to the stupid point they are trying to make.

He's pandering again to his groupies, to get donations.
Just like Trump.

Legal, yes.

Ethical, hell no.

He is intentionally lying, and it works for him.

Even when his whole family denounced him publicly, he won his election.
