Texas Election Audit That Trump Demanded Didn't Find Any Voter Fraud

Even though he easily won the state of Texas in the 2020 election, Donald Trump still pushed Republican officials in the state to conduct an election audit. They obliged, and over the holiday weekend they released the findings of "phase 1" of their investigation. To no one's surprise, the findings weren't there, and there was no widespread voter fraud that could have impacted the results of the election. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why Texas officials tried to bury the story.

It's no secret that Donald Trump easily won the state of Texas in the 2020 presidential election. Nevertheless, there were still some major counties that voted for president Biden. And so last year, 2021, even though the state really had no issues to report, Donald Trump pushed the Republican controlled state to conduct an audit. Not of the whole state, oh God, no. Just of, you know, those big counties that Biden won, just to make sure everything's on the level. And the state of Texas being run by a bunch of Republicans who have no idea what a spine even is quickly said, yes sir, we'll get right on it. Well, last weekend, over New Years when they knew nobody was going to be paying attention to the news at all, they released their findings and I don't even need to tell you what their findings are, because if they had massive evidence of voter fraud, they wouldn't have released their final report on New Year's Eve, would they?

No. They would've waited to a Monday morning around 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, depending, you know, when everybody was back at work, everybody's back to paying attention to the news. But instead they did it at a time when millions of Americans were getting ready to go out to parties and get drunk and do all the fun New Year's Eve crap and then they said, oh, by the way, while you're getting ready for the party, uh, we didn't find. Nothing. We got nothing. Have a happy New Year. And I know it seems ridiculous, but that's what they did. And that's why they did it. Okay. This story isn't as much as it is about, you know, oh, they couldn't find any voter fraud. We knew that wasn't gonna happen. The fact that they tried to bury this story by dropping it just hours before the year came to an end tells you everything you need to know. They wanted this story to die. They knew they had to release these final results. They knew they had to tell the public what happened. After all, the taxpayers in Texas are the ones who had to pay for this crap.

So if somebody were to go back and think, oh wait, didn't they do an audit? What happened with that? Let me look. They'll see the news story and be like, oh, okay. It didn't, didn't turn up anything, whatever. But if they had done some big grand announcement, you know, waited to not dump it during the Christmas, you know, New Year's era, you know, that kind of area where time forgot, the seven days between Christmas day and New Year's day were just kind of nothing matters. Yeah. They chose that for a reason because they wanted the story to die and die quickly during a time when they knew people aren't paying attention. Trust me, I've been in the media business going on 20 years here, folks, I know where you put stories when you want them to die. You drop 'em off right after Christmas, right before New Year's. And that is exactly what the state of Texas did, because I have to imagine they're pretty embarrassed that Trump convinced them to do this audit and they, like every other audit conducted last year, couldn't find a thing.
