Within the Republican Party exists a sect of conservatives who remain convinced that Donald Trump had the 2020 election stolen from him.
Trump himself has spoken at length on the subject, decrying all manner of methods in which the contest was rigged. It could have been the illegal ballot harvesting, or the work of Dominion Voting Systems, or even straight-up voter fraud…Trump has touted them all.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, an audit of the vote was considered to be one of the last vestiges of the “Stop The Steal” movement, but the results of that lengthy look into the election have brought some surprise with them.
A partisan review of the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Arizona, confirmed that President Joe Biden won, county officials said Thursday.
The “draft report from Cyber Ninjas confirms the county’s canvass of the 2020 General Election was accurate and the candidates certified as the winners did, in fact, win,” Maricopa County tweeted Thursday night.
Cyber Ninjas is the Florida-based cybersecurity company leading an effort by Republicans to review the 2020 presidential election in Arizona.
Maricopa County is the most populous county in Arizona, and by a margin that would make it the only locale in the state that could swing the election Trump’s direction.
