If they don’t find a single miscounted vote they will play this as proof positive that there were thousands and thousands of them - all of which have been concealed ever so cleverly. Since you can’t find them anywhere, they MUST be there! And day is night…
My point is the Congressional races might get a little baked-in advantage come the midterms. But to your point on NC, a 4% drop could give a huge boost to the Dem candidate for the open Senate seat. It could also give Kelly and Warnock a little cushion.
In fairness, I don’t expect anywhere near 74 million Republican voters in 2022. Without Trump on the ballot, there will be a lot fewer. Question is, will Dems get their vote out? At the moment, I’m fairly optimistic they can.

… except that if they hired a serious firm that had experience doing audits, such a firm would not conjure up a “made to order” BS answer - they would do a legitimate audit … which would then end up with an answer that these crazies refuse to believe -

You may misunderstand Arizona politics somewhat. To our state Senate this is serious. It’s for bragging and grifting rights and for appeasing a certain insane former elected person whom I will not name here. Once they have screwed up the ballots here in AZ they plan to take this shenanigan laden shit show on the road to various other states thereby reinstall that former official as dictator-for-life. There is no way they will not manufacture fraud. They have to. They must find enough fraudulent votes or create them whole cloth. And it will happen. It doesn’t need to be reality based. Bullshit will do just fine.
Look for a Cyber Ninja comment at the end of this charade along the lines of “Well, we found fraud. Fully 120,000 ballots were incorrectly voted for Biden and so we corrected them appropriately for trump after scanning them with UV rays to find what the vote should have been. Therefore this election was rigged. It was stolen, and our master, our dear avatar/God won by 120,000 votes. Take our word for it. You don’t need to see our work. Now move along. There’s nothing to see here.”

Who cares what this group comes up with. Its a clownish, partisan ad lib performance starring The Clueless.
I’m running into " You have 0 free articles remaining this month" blockades - I guess this is the beginning of the erection of barriers to free travel throughout TPM
… actually - am surprised that I am able to put these words into the comments function ( appears I found a small hole in the barbed wire fence - but expect it will be closed up soon )
Trump himself, speaking to a crowd at Mar-A-Lago last week, remarked on the “interesting things” that were happening in Arizona.
Yeah, yeah, and he talked endlessly about how his investigators were turning up “interesting things” in Hawaii, too. And did we ever hear what “interesting things” those were? No. No report, not one word. Because it all amounted to a big fat nothing. And this will be the same way.

Bingo. And since when did his adoring hordes ever hold him to account when the con was exposed?

I am sure something will be reported. … about … say two weeks from now.

Which is why so many countries are now trading in other currencies with each other. If China decides to invest in the new international bank, it’s pretty much all over. The dollar is based on our control of oil, specifically in the Middle East, and that is waning fast. Unfortunately for our “Empire” there is no plan B.
Stupidity is possibly the most powerful drug there is, and it lasts forever if someone wants it to.

An OAN reporter even asked the election scholar Rick Hasen… what would happen to a president if his election was proven to be “fraudulent beyond any doubt.”
Nothing. According to conservatives, President Biden has unlimited enforcement and forgiveness authority, and cannot be distracted by court cases, while he is President ; - )
And, according to Donald Trump, Joe Biden can be President for as long as he wants.

What does this article tell me that I couldn’t read at Fox or any other right-wing website?
I don’t visit right-wing websites because I am not interested in their nonsense, hence I am done with TPM and its regurgitation of right-wing misinformation.
What a lovely comfy world you live in - unfortunately one quite divorced from reality.
“Other countries are quite understanding”, that’s pretty hilarious.
NEVER - they don’t skip a beat as they rationalize that all politicians are shady … and the they fall on their knees and thank their maker that they have the biggest con man on their side … and not even giving a second thought to the fact that he is picking their pockets & taking them for fools.

If it were my ballot they were messing around with, i would be highly be upset! Voters in AZ don’t know these crackpots with access to their voting data! This practice is simply insane! Plus folks who participated in the insurrection on our Capitol is handling ballots too! And the CEO is a huge Trump fan. Where is the democracy in this process?

Oh, I totally expect the count to change, given the obviously corrupt people involved. Even if the crappy, sub-Diebold level technology doesn’t come up with different numbers, these assholes will literally just write a number down and claim that’s the one. We already know they don’t require evidence to make their point; they just need something for the wingnut wurlitzer to scream about.

Hardly. It’s predicated on our relative stabile government and society, and in the safeness of utilization of our currency without the fear that it’ll suddenly go haywire.
Which is why every other country, including China, has significant holdings of dollars, it’s the one currency you can use everywhere without fear that it’s going to be worthless.
Any preaching that we’re one step away from losing our position to China is made either of ignorance, misinformation, or a desire to propagate Chinese propaganda.
