Letter to the editor: Audit's goal is to maintain election integrity

I want to reply to the mischaracterization in the letter “GOP should focus on important issues, not jeopardize voters.” The point of the audit is not to overturn the election, but to evaluate areas of potential problems related to who is eligible to vote.

I personally witnessed evidence of voter fraud a few years ago. Furthermore, the data that needs to be evaluated is already public record. All that needs to be done is to sort it and compare it to other public records for things such as dead voters, non-resident voters, voters casting more than one vote, a person voting under a different person’s name, etc.

Surely verifying compliance with the law is of the highest importance in maintaining accuracy and integrity of the results of every election.
