This is an open ended request. Specifically which elections were not open and accountable and now require an official audit?

I don't care which ones they claim. If they want to dig into an election, then let them dig. If they find something, then they've done us all a favor. If they find nothing, then they've also done us a favor. But it is shady AF for democrat leadership to claim the election was going to be stolen in summer 2020, then today we have republicans claiming all their investigations into election irregularities are being blocked at every level, and every tiny step being fought in court. No way Trump won, but it would be nice for Republicans to be able to know that for a fact.

  There's no number of audits they'll accept. Where they're currently "auditing" there have already been multiple audits already completed. The whole thing is a joke, it's endless by design for fundraising and that's it.

  To be fair to the Democrats, though they rarely deserve it, Trump did attempt to overturn the election and has actively worked to create doubt about the results. Sure they made claims, but their claims have been proven correct as time has passed.

  > But it is shady AF for democrat leadership to claim the election was going to be stolen in summer 2020 I think it was Trump who claimed the election was going to be stolen in the summer of 2020, not the Democrats. Here is what I found on "Democrat" claims: > https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/20/trump-republican-election-fraud/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/20/trump-repu... That Republicans were defrauding the election by disenfranchising voters. A claim the Democrats still make (even more so) today. Trump, on the other hand, spent the entire summer of 2020 claiming the election would be stolen; e.g. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/22/881598655/fact-check-trump-spreads-unfounded-claims-about-voting-by-mail https://www.npr.org/2020/06/22/881598655/fact-check-trump-sp... And a bunch of other articles like that. Basically, Democrats argue that voting is too hard, while Republicans argue that voting is too easy. These positions were pretty consistent during the 2020 election.
