TFG's Election Claims Rejected By New Republican-Led Review in Arizona

Former President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election results were "rigged" or "stolen" received another blow this week after the findings of a new Republican-led review in Arizona showed there was "no evidence" voting network and election data were compromised in Maricopa County.

Trump and his allies continue to insist that President Joe Biden's election win in Arizona and in other key swing states was fraudulent, although audits and recounts have consistently countered these allegations. Maricopa County, which is largely led by GOP officials, has been at the center of the false claims—as Arizona state Senate Republicans ordered an audit of the results there.

As the largest population center in Arizona, Maricopa County's votes were key to Biden's victory in the southwestern state. The president beat Trump in Arizona by just over 10,000 votes—a narrow margin of about 0.3 percent. Arizona had previously gone for Trump in 2016, and for GOP presidential candidates in every election going back to 2000.

The Arizona state Senate Republicans' controversial audit was led by now-shuttered Florida-based company CyberNinjas, which has filed for bankruptcy. That review actually found Biden with a slightly bigger lead over Trump than the initial tally in Maricopa County. Despite those findings, the former president and his GOP allies continued to claim the results were manipulated.

The goldfish media treat the pronouncement as if it has merit somehow.

Please newspeople, try to remember things that happened more than three seconds ago.
