Well, what do you know about this? The first reports of the \u201cforensic audit\u201d that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott launched \u2014 at the behest of Donald J. Trump \u2014 of balloting in four Texas counties shows minuscule discrepancies.<\/p>\n

That means the voting was not rife with \u201cwidespread\u201d fraud that Trump has alleged without offering a shred of evidence.<\/p>\n

Trump came to Texas this past summer and got Abbott to call for an audit of four of the state\u2019s most populous counties: Harris, Dallas, Tarrant and Collin. I live in Collin County. Of the counties audited, Collin voted for Trump narrowly, while the rest of them all voted for President Biden.<\/p>\n

The Texas Tribune reported:\u00a0The first phase of the review,\u00a0released New Year\u2019s Eve<\/a>, highlighted election data from four counties \u2014 Harris, Dallas, Tarrant and Collin \u2014 that showed few discrepancies between electronic and hand counts of ballots in a sample of voting precincts. Those partial manual counts made up a significant portion of the results produced by the secretary of state, which largely focused on routine voter roll maintenance and post-election processes that were already in place before the state launched what it has labeled as a \u201cfull forensic audit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Texas secretary of state\u2019s partial audit of 2020 election finds few issues | The Texas Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm. I\u2019ll go out on a limb and suggest that the audit of these counties won\u2019t find anything worth mentioning. The audit that Abbott seeks was done because Trump continues to perpetuate The Big Lie about the results of the 2020 election. Trump lost! Biden won! The election was fair and legal and clean. Texas went for Trump, giving the then-POTUS its 38 electoral votes.<\/p>\n

However, Trump wants to continue fostering doubt into the most secure election in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

I will say once again that Donald Trump\u2019s Big Lie only defames the hard work done at the local level by elections officials who take an oath to ensure that our elections are secure.<\/p>\n
