Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro is petrified of what will be exposed when Senator Doug Mastriano conducts a forensic audit of the 2020 General Election. Not only will it expose that Biden lost bigly, but that he (Shapiro) did too.
Out of fear, Lyin' Josh went on Twitter and spun up four falsehoods in a single tweet about the Pennsylvania 2020 election and Mastriano's audit.
There were not two "audits" in Pennsylvania if you understand the definition of an audit.
Most audit definitions come from the world of finance and accounting. The common thread among audit definitions is that audits "confirm the authenticity" of the records. In this case, it's ballots and/or votes.
Nothing of the sort happened in Pennsylvania after the November 2020 election that confirmed the authenticity of the ballots.
What happened in Pennsylvania was nothing more than recounts based on a sample of ballots. Whether those were legal ballots or illegal ballots remains in question.
That's why Democrats all over the US (and their media mouthpieces) are decrying post-election audits in the battleground states.
Here are the details behind Lyin' Josh's "audits."
The first so-called "audit"was nothing more than a recount of a random sample of ballots. However, that recount was FATALLY FLAWED because at least four counties had incomplete records of the number of voters (a total of 205,000 more votes were cast than voters).
Wanda Murren, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Secretary of State readily admitted the records were incomplete.
It is improper to draw a sample without first resolving the discrepancy between the number of voters and votes cast. Was this issue duplicate ballots being counted? Or was it a record keeping issue as alleged by Murren? Or was it a combination of the two?
No one knows for sure. Only a forensic audit can resolve the questions.
Obviously, Pennsylvania should not have certified its election until the discrepancy was resolved. To otherwise do so was illegal.
