Trump Hails ‘Forensic Audit’ of Arizona Vote as Harbinger of Doom for Dems

Despite conceding power to Democrat Joe Biden on January 20, former president Donald Trump has continued to insist he was the victim of massive ballot fraud in the November 2020 presidential election. Arizona’s Republican-controlled state Senate is set to prove or disprove his claim.

Donald Trump has welcomed the start of a ‘forensic’ recount of last year’s presidential election vote in Arizona’s largest city Phoenix.

The recount, projected to take six weeks, is set to begin next week after Democratic Party lawyers declined to put up a $1 million bond to cover costs of delaying it pending legal action. The Arizona state Senate has secured all ballots from last November’s election in the custody of electronic security firm Cyber Ninjas.

The official result — not announced until weeks after the election — handed Arizona and its 11 electoral college votes to Biden by a margin of just 10,500 votes, or 0.3 per cent. Maricopa County, which encompasses Phoenix, had almost 2.6 million registered voters from a population of some 4.5 million ahead of polling day.

Trump slammed legal efforts by President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party to have the recount halted — taking that as proof of wrongdoing on their part and saying they feared recounts in other swing states he lost by tight margins.

“The Democrats are desperate for the FRAUD to remain concealed because, when revealed, the Great States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, New Hampshire, and the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, would be forced to complete the work already started.”

The political outsider also laid into Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a fellow Republican, for failing to support the push for a recount — and demanded he provide security for the “brave American patriots” conducting the audit. 

​Despite conceding the transition of power to Biden on January 20, the ex-president has continued to claim he was cheated of victory based on numerous reported — and some proven — irregularities, as well as changes to rules for mail-in voting that were not approved by state legislatures.

The Biden administration has already made itself unpopular in Arizona and other southern border states by reversing many of Trump’s moves to stem illegal immigration, prompting a humanitarian crisis as people traffickers exploit tens of thousands rushing to cross the border from Mexico. Ducey sent 250 National Guard troops to the frontier earlier this week, accusing Washington of inaction.
