All Americans should want the Arizona forensic audit

Probably three-fourths of Americans question or have concerns regarding the past voting cycle. It is the most controversial and distrusted election in U.S. history. Over 1,000 whistleblowers signed affidavits under penalty of perjury that they witnessed fraud. Just because the controlled press no longer covers this and censors all who do, does not mean that fraud was not witnessed by thousands.

Why an audit in Arizona, two reasons? Only 10,000 votes separate presidential contestants. And, the Senate Republicans in Arizona are bold enough to cry, foul ball. (I am attempting to avoid words that are programmed to censor this column -- bear with me). Yet some facts still remain beyond reason. In Arizona 22,093 mail-in ballots were "received" the day before they were mailed. How does that happen? In Arizona, 33,400 illegal immigrants voted (a must-see video can be viewed at https://rumble.com/vdp7df-share-unmasked-have-we-uncovered-the-truth-about-the-2020-election.html).

But haven't the courts already established that there was no evidence supporting election fraud? Not so, several courts weighed in that plaintiffs had no standing (they themselves were not harmed), of which the Texas case was the most famous, but no court looked at a single piece of evidence. No court ruling established that there was no evidence of corruption, only that they themselves would not look at it.

But some states already did recounts. That is true, but if you just do a recount of the same bogus votes, as in Georgia, wouldn't you have the same bogus results? Wouldn't you want to first remove the dead, illegal, and previously moved-out-of-state voters? Or, those who voted multiple times? Or, flipped votes to the opposing candidate through computer interference? Or, votes on mail-in-ballots that were on counterfeit paper not issued by the government or had no folds indicating that it had actually been processed through the mail -- instead just dumped by trucks, even from out of state as in a truck coming in from New York to Pennsylvania?

In Maricopa County, Arizona, 1.9 of the 2.1 million votes were cast by mail. "That means that the election department folded the ballots three times, put them in an envelope, and sent them to the voters. And then the voters, after putting their votes on the ballot, folded them three times and sent them back. So they're looking for folds in the ballot" (Stinchfield, May 3, 2021, Arizona Audit, Newsmax). If no folds, then they are fake votes.

So how does this audit differ from other audits? Transparency for one thing, with nine live-streaming cameras recording everything which can be viewed in real-time publicly and later for reference if needed. Viewers of each of the 2.1 million ballots are required to follow six processes. "A. Examine the physical ballot. B. Note any differences or observations about the thickness or feel of the ballot, and if necessary, attach thickness designator. C. If Election Day poll vote, note the presence of a visible fold. D. If non-Election Day poll vote, note the absence of visible folds. E. Confirmed Fold Designator on the name is correct [designator]. F. Note any visible differences in the colors or text on the ballot. G. Place ballot under UV-B and UV-A source and compare for representative specimens ( Ep. 2466b -- Are You Ready To Take Back Control Of The Country? The Silent Majority Will Reign, X22 Report Published April 30, 2021).

So why does it matter? Two reasons mostly.

First, faith in future elections (and this issue is not going to go away or be forgotten). If more than half of America saw this election as illegitimate or stolen, it places in question all elections going forward and undermines our new president. If viewed as corrupt, why vote? And, if they did cheat, why would they stop cheating, the longer they hold power, the more they are incentivized to censor and rid themselves of future opposition? How could we then say we differed from banana republics? To the benefit of both political parties, if found to be true, a mechanism must be in place to never let this happen again.

Second, supposed fraudulence was viewed by or participated in by thousands -- far too many to ever go away. It will be questioned in the history books a hundred years from now. While we have all the ballots (the physical evidence), hundreds of affidavits, let every aspect of this election see light and every hearing or audit conducted. If this was the cleanest election ever, as Democrats insist, they should be reassured. Why would they object, unless they know it wasn't?

Let the forensic audit proceed. Democrats say they want to follow the science. Let it have its input with tests on ink color, paper thickness or weight, fold evidence and UV ray technologies brought to bear to give us proof positive that the individual occupying the White House, or those seated in the U.S. Senate in Arizona, were elected by citizens. Let us end this dispute with total confidence now.

But transparency is not what half of America wants. Instead, Democrat news outlets censor virtually everything in opposition to this step. At least 70 Democrat lawyers have gathered in Maricopa County to oppose every step of this audit. They have attempted to use the office of the Attorney General to do the same. It seems anything showing another side has been removed from the internet. The only media coverage is seemingly in opposition.

Democrats act as though they have something to hide -- like Richard Nixon in the Watergate burglary. They do if they cheated. If shown in Arizona, other states will follow with their forensic audits. I think this is why there is opposition.
