Democrats and Their Accomplices Are Worried About the Presidential Election in Arizona, But the Senate Is On the Line As Well
2021-05-22
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] The audit in Arizona may upend the 2020 Presidential election but it could reshape the US Senate as well.

Let’s not forget, the audit in Arizona covers both the Presidential race and the Senate race. In November, Democrat Kelly beat Republican McSally by 78,806 votes statewide.

In Maricopa County the total difference between candidates is about the same amount with the Democrat winning by 80,183 votes:

Therefore, if the audit shows that McSally won Maricopa County, then she would win the state as well.

There’s little information out there related to a situation where fraud or errors were discovered that lead to a change of winners in a US Senate race. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
we expect that if fraud was the reason for the difference with reality, then the seat would go to the winner per the legitimate audit.

There is some information on what to do when a Senate seat becomes vacant (but this doesn’t involve fraud being the reason for the vacancy):

Senate seats become vacant for a variety of reasons — the Senator dies in office, resigns in disgrace or resigns to assume another position

#3  An Impeachment would seem to be the only Constitutional mechanism

#2  I don't recall ever seeing that any Constitutional mechanism exists to undo the results of an election after the candidates have been sworn in. Isn't that the basis SCOTUS has used to avoid hearing such cases - that they are moot?
