There were two prior AUDITS... not merely recounts. Stop shoveling nonsense. These previous elections audits were carried out by professional auditing firms with lengthy experience in auditing elections.
Stephen Richer Slams 'Insane' Arizona Audit—'This Is Far From the Gold Standard' https://www.newsweek.com/stephen-richer-slams-insane-arizona-audit-far-gold-standard-1602818 Arizona Republican Stephen Richer has strongly criticized the state's audit of the 2020 presidential election results and warned other states that they shouldn't try to emulate the process. Richer is the recorder of Maricopa County—where the controversial audit is being conducted. He told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday that the process is "insane." The audit, ordered by the Republican-led state legislature, has previously been criticized for allowing the pursuit of conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, including searching for bamboo fibers based on the unfounded claim that some 40,000 ballots were shipped in from Asia.

States have a right to conduct an election and an audit any way they wish. I see no reason why we shouldnt just let it play out. If no significant fraud, then Marxists shouldn't be worried-----This is the first audit in Arizona. I look forward to the results whatever they may be.
The entire purpose of the Arizona "audit" being performed by unprofessional people with no experience or qualifications with no documentation of their processes -- is to create the illusion of fraud. The DOJ should step in and stop this nonsense.
@Buy1Sell2 is just trying to whitewash the fact that the prior two audits had occurred and he's been consistent with his narrative about the BIG LIE. After this circus show audit...he'll move on to a new support of the BIG LIE and maybe supporting another audit of Arizona. He did the exact same whitewashing bullshit with the attack on Democracy on January 6th and the same whitewashing about Natural Herd Immunity as the reason for the declining Covid numbers when we all know its the Vaccination as the primary cause for the declining Covid numbers... Check his post history...its all there about his conspiracy theories and error filled beliefs that have been proven wrong many times without him once admitting he was wrong. This is why he continues stating let this play out as if we here at ET have any control of the bullshit audits. That's why I say after another Arizona Audit is unable to find widespread fraud...he'll quietly move on to the next Qanon belief (false narrative) even though he states he's not a Qanon follower. #stopwhitewashing wrbtrader
Of course, The DOJ has no authority to step in and do anything on this. States have the authority to run their elections how they would like to. ---The DOJ might get away with it, but they've no legal authority in this matter whatsoballsout.
The irony of GOP criminals (read:all) adding fake Trump ballots and destroying Biden ballots in some consanguineous love fest is not lost on us. Stay safe, Butt1Seccks2. The undocumented rapists, killers, etc., are coming for you.
Actually states MUST run their elections and election audits within the requirements of federal election laws and civil rights acts -- to ensure they are not disenfranchising voters. The DOJ already told Arizona they could not go out and visit voters to confirm their votes (which a form of intimidation and violates federal law) and the Arizona "audit" clowns had to drop this part of their plan.
States decide how elections are run and how audits are conducted. No one is talking about violating someone's civil rights. The DOJ has no legal authority to stop this audit.
