Letter to the editor: Wasting tax dollars on audits

An “audit” done on the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Ariz., by Cyber Ninjas found an estimated 282 dead people submitted ballots. In its report, the company recommended “the Attorney General further investigate this finding to confirm the validity of their findings.”

Arizona’s attorney general, Republican Mark Brnovich, did investigate and found that their findings had no validity. He found, of those 282 dead voters, there was only one actually deceased. Brnovich wrote in a letter: “Those who were supposedly deceased were contacted by his office, and they were surprised to learn they were allegedly deceased.”

Now, after hearing of that, do we really need the GOP here in Pennsylvania wasting our tax dollars on an audit to look for election fraud that never happened?

My hope is that this letter will change some people’s skepticism of the voting fraud claims that are being beaten into our heads by Republican politicians here in Pennsylvania. They are screaming loudly about large amounts of voter fraud in the 2020 election that never took place. The few known cases of voter fraud that were committed and proven were committed by Trump supporters, with people trying to use mail-in ballots to vote for deceased relatives or voting twice themselves using mail-in ballots and then going to their polling place to try voting a second time.
