'Fantasies': Campaign against 2020 presidential ballot recount escalates

The Associated Press has characterized the Arizona state Senate's audit of 2020 presidential election ballots in Maricopa County as an effort prompted by the "fraud fantasies" of Republicans.

The AP said the audit is "ground zero for former President Donald Trump and a legion of his supporters who have refused to accept his loss in Arizona or in other battleground states."

But libertarian activist and political commentator Wayne Root argued the "over-reaction" by media and Democrats is a sign that they know something was amiss in an election in which Joe Biden's victory in six battleground states has been contested.
