Audits, Recounts And Lawsuits: Why We're Still Looking At 2020 Ballots

A handful of states are still examining 2020 election ballots. Experts worry that continued challenges are eroding confidence for future elections.

Seven months after the 2020 election, ballots are still under the microscope in a handful of states, and election experts worry the continued challenges are eroding confidence in our elections.  "Just because January 6 happened and the insurrectionists were not successful, we are not out of the woods yet on this. And the longer that this kind of farce audit and continued questioning of the election is allowed to continue, the more danger that we are in," said Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.  In Arizona, the state Senate launched an audit in Maricopa County in April. But the voting machines had already been tested twice, and the 2.1 million ballots were already subject to three audits. All of those checks showed the 2020 election results were fair and accurate. But Maricopa County's ballots are undergoing yet another inspection.
