In the deserts of the southwest, something unprecedented is occurring.
Maricopa County, Arizona – the most populous county in the state – is currently bearing witness to an audit of their 2020 election results that appears aimed at corroborating former President Donald Trump’s belief that the contest was stolen from him.
Thus far, reviews of the audit have been mixed, with some lambasting the process as a sham designed to push “the big lie”, (as the mainstream media has dubbed it), while others are certain that something fishy is going on.
Now, allies of the MAGA movement are looking to export this inquisition to other states.
A day after Trump said in a statement that Georgia should follow Arizona’s lead, former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Trump supporter who is challenging incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in next year’s GOP primary, proposed an audit Wednesday.
“Georgians still have questions about irregularities found in the 2020 election and they deserve answers,” he said in a statement. “We must get to the bottom of all of this and other irregularities to restore trust in our election process. If Mr. Kemp refuses to demand an audit, then I will when I am elected to replace him.”
Georgia officials have been so far unwilling to indulge in Donald Trump’s beliefs about the 2020 election, including lifelong Republicans who now serve as election authorities.
Trump is believed to be planning another series of MAGA rallies to bolster support for these audits.
