Related: About this forumImpartial Audit? Wisconsin Republicans Tap Trump Appointee, Trump Lawyer - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC
Rachel Maddow points out that Wisconsin Republicans are giving away the game in their selection of a Trump appointee and a former Trump White House lawyer to conduct a so-called "audit" to assess the legitimacy of Donald Trump's 2020 election loss. Aired on 10/14/2021.
Clumsy Republican 'Audit' Stunt Elicits Blow back: 'Shut This Fake Investigation Down' - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul talks with Rachel Maddow about the "glaring flaws" that have already compromised the credibility of a Republican effort to have two Trump loyalists reassess the outcome of the 2020 election in which Donald Trump was the loser, and why it's important to take the matter seriously even though it is being conducted in such an unserious manner. Aired on 10/14/2021.

You're absolutely right, that's what they're attempting - even almost a year after the election

There has to be a reason he didn't call for one. Does anyone dare run against him?

the truth falls out.
Perhaps it's time to use "stop the steal" as a Democratic cry.

If they can insist on recounts of previous elections, we know that TFG lost decisively in 2016 and 2020 by 3 million and 7 million votes - but what about 2000 when they stopped the count in Florida and 2004 when there were similar shenanigans in Ohio?? Can we call for a recount of those previous elections and install Al Gore and John Kerry??
