Pennsylvania Just Held Its First Election 'Audit' Hearing and It Did Not Go Well for Team Trump

Pennsylvania Just Held Its First Election 'Audit' Hearing and It Did Not Go Well for Team Trump

President Joe Biden has been in office for nearly eight months, but former President Donald Trump's delusions that the 2020 election was somehow stolen from him continue to erode public faith in American democracy.

Even after these lies prompted a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol, Republican-majority legislatures in a number of swing states continue to entertain the prospect of partisan audits of millions of ballots.


Arizona Republicans forced yet another audit of Maricopa County's ballots which has been marred by partisanship, secrecy, and conspiracy theories with nothing to show for claims the county was stolen from Trump.

Nevertheless, Pennsylvania Senate Republicans convened a hearing of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee to hear testimony from Fulton County, PA Board of Elections Chairman Stuart Ulsh.

Heeding calls from a Republican state Senator, Ulsh authorized a third party to audit Fulton County's ballots at the end of last year, even though Trump won Fulton County by a large margin. The audit, which was conducted by the firm Wake TSI and was funded anonymously, found no fraud in the 15,000 person county.

At one point in the hearing, Democratic state Senator Vincent Hughes asked Ulsh if any fraud was found.

Watch below.

He responded:

"It's in our report, but no. Nothing was found."

The Senate-forced audit in Pennsylvania, which is now in its infancy as officials figure out its reach and policies, will be funded by taxpayers.

Democratic elected officials in the state decried the audit push on social media.


Others largely sounded off against the audit.



Meanwhile, deluded Trump supporters are still convinced that further audits nationwide will somehow vindicate Trump.


A number of the counties in question have already been recounted, audited, and certified. It appears any audit that doesn't conclude Trump won the election will be considered fraudulent by his supporters.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

Woman Shares Why She Refuses To Tell Her Late Dad's Mistress Of 30 Years That He Died

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.
