Some folks are not one-trial learners. I guess we’ll see about the rest of the Arizona Senate GQP caucus.

I’m enjoying the infighting as much as anyone, but I don’t see how the Trumpists can actually jettison the GOP. They’ll whine and make noise, but they’ll have to stay glued to the GOP for the same reason Trump decided against starting a 3rd party because that’s where the money is. The big donors, the corporations, and you don’t win elections without it.

What to make to this? Did the GOP just get religion? Is this a message to rump-- we won’t nominate you?
The attached assessment in the WP gets it, whereas the TPM framing doesn’t. In fact the TPM and other media reporting of this only reinforces the intent of this fraudulent performance in the worst way.
There was NOTHING legitimate about this so-called audit. It started as a fraud, operated as a fraud, and continues to be a fraud.
The report will be filled with innuendo, all unproven of course, of “discrepancies,” intending to raise alarms, paving the way for Trumpist legislatures to “fix” phantom problems. Any reporting that represents this as a legitimate finding - top number to footnote - ultimately gives credence to a process that should have absolutely none.

Who has standing to bring a civil suit? (besides the AZ senate, who will not acknowledge their own pisspoor judgement for having hired these clowns in the first place)

Sounds pretty much how it happens here in St. Louis County, MO, except for the COP part.
Off the top of my head, In regard to a civil action, anyone who donated to it. Also, anyone, including the county, who incurred expenses because of it. Individuals defamed to include the Secretary of State and County election officials , the company that makes the voting machines, very likely any group that represents voters targeted like the NAACP, maybe even any two or more residents who share the same name and age. Of course the DOJ would have standing for both criminal and civil.
Now this is not an all inclusive list nor am I saying that all the above have standing, but some clearly do and without looking at it harder, others could.
OPEN THE ROUTERS!

I may have shared this before, but a little over a decade ago, I lost a friend down the ‘Naked Short Selling’ rabbit-hole. He ingratiated himself with Patrick Byrne and got a job working on his website ‘Deep Capture’ (Mr. Byrne has a penchant for prefacing projects with ‘Deep’ maybe as a tribute to the ‘deep state’).
Good to see he’s still a nut.

Donation is not a contract.
anyone, including the county, who incurred expenses because of it.
Try sueing city hall because it cost you money to comply with a law they passed. The senate did pass a law authorizing them to conduct this fraudit.
Individuals defamed to include the Secretary of State and County election officials
Public figures. And their personal monetary damages were what?
any group that represents voters targeted like the NAACP
Doubtful, otherwise they’d already have filed.
any two or more residents who share the same name and age
Er whut? What damage have these two residents experienced?
the DOJ would have standing for both criminal and civil.
They may have criminal standing for the spoliation of the ballots within two years of the election, and indeed have already served notice of that concern. But my question is what civil standing do they have?
bu,bu,bu…we didn’t get to check for sauerkraut stains on those ballots we think are from Germany! Parmesan scents from Italy?? What would you believe?

I disagree with some of your comments but that was not my original point.
The original point is had they claimed Trump really had won the election and had no evidence or fraudulent evidence to make that claim, we would be having a different conversation. But as they found Biden really did win but ……, I agree they are likely safe.
But had they declared Trump won because of the voting machines or because of Warren Buffet or because voting officials, or because of named individuals voting multiple times in violation of the law or because certain groups or ……, I think there would have been a federal investigation and also individuals and defamed companies would have had causes of action.

And in regard the donations, I will be surprised if in the next 12 months we do not learn of money being stiffened by either Cyber Ninjas for personal expenses or by those who collected it.
Or do we need to be reminded how these hucksters like Brannon and the NRA like to fleece their own.
Many have made those claims, and all that happened is that some of the attorneys among them got sanctioned by a michigan federal court for wasting the court’s time.
Dominion and Smartmatic are pursuing civil remedies, but they indisputably have standing and have suffered substantial quantifiable losses,
