In English please?
Here's what I said in post #2:
What's the probability DP's Big Lie proponents will change their tune? They'll just make up new bullshit to try to explain how the audit doesn't debunk their prior bullshit. I have little doubt that we'll hear things like "they didn't have full access!" and "this person didn't feel like being interviewed by them. Consciousness of guilt!"Basically, they'll pull a Lindell, who has yet again shifted back his prediction for when the Supreme Court will "rule" that Trump is to be reinstated. The rapture now occurs after Thanksgiving.I'd like to be wrong, but watching 9 or so years of "the first black president is a kenyan muslim who is racist against white people and is trying to destroy America because he hates it" morph into Trumpism, morph into an insurrection seeking to put Trump in via coup (OP referred to this as a "kegger", you will remember), and everything since.....Heh. They're not gonna say "oops, we were wrong." After all, the idea is to built more groundwork for stealing future electionsYou did a bunch of that crap. "But they found stuff, so it's still suspicious, so we have to investigate more."
Who are you trying to convince? You keep telling us what you'll do. Then you do it. Then you're all "see? We were right." No ,that's not how anything works.
No voter fraud was found, but they made sure to give you some treats. So you chew them and announce that the third audit was no good, and we need more. That was the point from the beginning.
The Big Lie is a Big Lie. Hopefully Trumpists don't destroy democracy with it.
As I said the goal posts for most of us wasn't the expectation that the audit would show that Trump won. So if you are speaking of the few that actually believed that the audit would show him the winner then I suppose you are correct - if such predictions were made they were over optimistic and wrong.
However, if you mean all of us who believed the audit had the potential to show serious flaws, and perhaps even corruption then we arn't making excuses. It did so, and its limitations are only those imposed by Maricopa's obstruction of the investigation.
It doesn't take a 3 digit IQ to know that audits cannot discover that which they are not allowed to examine, and as the subject as undisputablely refused to provide all that has been requested it also doesn't take a 3 digit IQ to predict that until such time (if ever) that is produced we should demand to investigate more.
Like any perp covering up and who won't cooperate, the conclusion is not that he/she is innocent. Rather it compels more investigation.
