I just heard about Wisconsin’s legislature just approved a statewide audit of the election. Anyone have any details on that, and do you know if it will be a deep audit or an affirming audit of the fortified results?

It’s bullshit. I talked about Wisconsin’s flip flopping in another post. It’s not a forensic audit, it’s complete nonsense that will find absolutely nothing.

That’s what I thought, the more I read about it. It sounded more like checking if they followed all procedures and so on.

They'll now calling these fake audits "reviews." The fake audits started as far back as the infamous Venezuelan scam election, i.e., the first election with this type of software/system. They tricked Jimmy Carter's organization which was supposed to do an independent audit. They approved the election in a big formal report but they were rubes. As the people who weren't half wits poignantly observed, the "audit" only let the "auditors" check computers the suspects chose instead of random computers. What could possibly go wrong? A fake election without a fake audit isn't much good.

Last year, in the run-up to what would be Hugo Chávez’s final election, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter provided the ultimate cover for the late caudillo when he called the Venezuelan election process "the best in the world." Today, as the country roils in the aftermath of a contested election to elect Chávez’s successor, we now know that is not the case. https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/07/jimmy-carter-gets-it-wrong-on-venezuela-again/

Here he is making a fool of himself:

So much cringe.

One more reason why citizen legal action for forensic auditing is probably better when politicians aren't smart.
