A Reasonable Outcome to Expect from the Arizona Election Audit

Expectations that the soon-to-be-completed Arizona audit will eventually lead to Biden’s exit and Trump’s return is setting the bar way too high and supporters who think Trump will come back to the White House in 2021 are going to be disappointed.

I think the best we can hope for is that the Arizona audit leads to audits in other battleground states like GA, PA, MI, and WI, states Biden won by a slim margin. If fraud is uncovered in all of these states, it would be enough to overturn the results of the election and declare Trump the winner, at least theoretically.

Still, the best we can hope for is for more states to adopt election reforms to ensure future elections are secure and invulnerable to cheating. In the public mind, Trump would be the winner and that consensus would be added fuel to a potential 2024 run. In the meantime, Biden’s presidency would be irreversibly damaged, completely illegitimate in the public’s view, and therefore would be unable to pass his agenda.
