ALEC is lobbying for more states to imitate Arizona's "election audit".

As far as I can tell, the aim of the "election audit" is to be secretive and sloppy enough to create the opportunity for liars to claim to have discovered irregularities, and no one will have enough facts to refute the claim. Then the Republican anti-truth machine will convince 50 million Americans to believe the lies, along with other lies such as "Covid-19 is not dangerous" and "Democrats stole the 2020 election."

Comfortable and unchallengeable lies paved the way to overthrow democracy in Germany. It can happen in the US too.

The reason why the US military can't win the wars it has started in the 21st century is that foreign armies and foreign money normally can't defeat a strongly motivated guerrilla. Only a local force with an even stronger commitment to victory can do so. In situations like that, a US military intervention is usually self-defeating.

US leaders should recognize this.

People who attacked pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong have been convicted of violent crime.
