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 Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work
