Based on the Antrim audit, the most likely outcome is that the Trump auditor will use the “error” rate recorded in the tabulation logs to assert that an excessive percentage of ballots were flagged for adjudication so the votes could be swapped.
The Antrim tabulation log with the 68% “error” rate was generated by the updated firmware that fixed the error where it initially underreported Trump’s vote tally. Despite the apparently large percentage of adjudicated ballots (which the Trump auditor asserts is evidence of fraud), Trump still won the county. A hand recount backed this outcome. This contradicts the Trump auditor’s insistence that adjudication was used to swap votes.
If hand recount is performed in Maricopa, and—like every hand recount state so far—substantively matches the machine count—the voter fraud truthers still won’t be satisfied because, as Ghost said earlier, “hand recounts are meaningless.” They’ll just claim that extra ballots were injected or changed, etc.
No matter what happens, Trump and his followers will continue to insist that there was “massive voter fraud.”
