UPDATE: Maricopa County, AZ Audit Finds No Fraud

https://www.democracydocket.com/2021/02 ... -no-fraud/
On Tuesday, the results of a Republican-requested audit found no evidence of fraud or “vote-switching” in the Maricopa County 2020 election. The audit examined the county’s election equipment and software after Arizona’s Board of Supervisors, led by Republicans, disputed President Biden’s win in the state’s largest county.

Last November, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors’ Republican chair Clint Hickman testified that he found no evidence of voter fraud that would affect the outcome of the county’s election, saying “It is time to dial back the rhetoric, rumors, and false claims. No matter how you voted, this election was administered with integrity, transparency and in accordance with state laws.” However, Republican lawmakers continued to push rhetoric of voter fraud through January, prompting the ensuing audit. Trump and his Republican allies brought seven post-election court challenges in Arizona—all of which were unsuccessful.

In a summary of the audit results, the Maricopa County Elections Department “confirm[ed]… [the Department’s] configuration and setup of the tabulation equipment and election management system provided an accurate counting of ballots and reporting of election results.”

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers
Still!! A lot of these poll workers aren't planning to return. Horrific death threats against not just the upper tiers of state gov, but the every day poll workers have been, and are still being, threatened, and their families!!

There's no way to pick just four 'graphs, they're all scary. One example:
"Trump’s disinformation campaign also shook election workers in Paulding County, outside Atlanta. Deidre Holden, the county elections director, was finishing preparations ahead of Georgia’s January Senate runoffs when an email caught her eye. The subject line read: “F_UCKING HEAR THIS PAULDING COUNTY OR D!E.”

The message, reviewed by Reuters, threatened to blow up all of the county’s polling sites. At least 10 other counties received the same email. “We’ll make the Boston bombings look like child’s play,” the message said in an apparent reference to the 2013 extremist attack on the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured hundreds."

Ah, the "control the election process" prong. If you scare all the non-partisan election workers out, you can replace them with Republican partisan ones and profit!
