I feel it is very misleading for anyone to discuss the GOP& #39;s current "audits" without mentioning every single time that,

(a) Beginning in 2000, the GOP has blocked all efforts to assess the legitimacy of poll-defying Republican victories; ... 1/
(b) The GOP also blocked the SAFE Act election-security bill, which would have required Risk Limiting Audits for all federal races in 2020, including the GOP& #39;s unexpected sweep of "tossup" House races and poll-defying Senate victories in Maine and NC... 2/
The Republican party leadership has shown a willingness to lie and distort the truth on election integrity (eg., vulnerabilities = proof "Trump won,"  the myth of mass voter fraud, the "intelligence expert" who wasn& #39;t an intelligence expert, ... 3/
... the intelligence contractor who was a pro-Trump podcaster, swapping Minnesota data with Michigan data, Dominion = ES&S, Dominion = Smartmatic, "we are the election-security victims even though we blocked election security legislation"). 4/
There are objective reasons to doubt their good faith, which is crucial context. Ignoring that does not bring us closer to election integrity. Cherry-picking which races and vendor to audit will never give a clear picture of the integrity of the election overall. TY. 5/
