Erick Erickson Rips Cultist Lies About Georgia “Audit”

Via email from right wing columnist Erick Erickson:

On social media, more than 10,000 people have shared the results of a forensic audit in Ware County, Georgia. I keep getting asked about it. Voting machines were seized and a court-ordered audit happened. It turns out the machines really were throwing votes for Trump to Biden. In the test of the machines, 73 votes shifted from Trump to Biden, which was enough to make Biden the winner.

The only problem is that none of this is true. There was no seizure of machines. There was no forensic audit. The only kernel of truth is that 73 votes did get shifted from Trump to Biden, but that wasn’t because of a machine. It was because of a human who wrote down numbers during the hand recount and put them in the wrong field. At some point, I do hope the people who believe all this stuff will ask why none of these stories are holding up under minimal scrutiny.

Georgia’s Governor literally has no constitutional power to do what Trump supporters demand. For people who claim to support the rule of law, why do they want the Governor to make an unconstitutional move? It’s all performative leg humping.

The Kraken died in Georgia. It was more suicide than murder due to gross incompetence.
