Arizona's election audit is an attack by Americans on other Americans

According to recently uncovered emails, former President Donald Trump called Karen Fann, the Republican president of Arizona’s state Senate, personally thanking her for ordering a recount of the state’s 2020 presidential votes and “pushing to prove any fraud.”

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s aide de camp, called her at least six times, or so she said in one of her emails. That may help explain why a partisan company with zero relevant experience is conducting a dubiously competent and seemingly interminable recount of Maricopa County’s votes inside Phoenix’s Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
