The thing is they can't stop it either way. Dems certified their own lie when they ran their own mini 'audits' and ridicule the current process. All they need to find is 11,000 Biden mail in ballots with no folds and you have enough to decertify and redistribute electoral votes…. Dems only defense at that point is to claim Trump may also have more fake ballots and they would have to finish the audit.
Mind you the audit is being done by a company Cyber Ninjas. All the paper pushing is a distraction from the meat of the investigation but certifies the fraud in addition to. They probably had enough fake mail-in votes by the 3rd day.
..Dems stop the count early and the results come out. They let the audit continue and the results come out… Can you say PANIC?
