I just don't get the logic of R's digging for possible election fraud in counties where their guy had massive wins. Is it just that unfathomable to them that a whopping 15% of their neighbors voted for the other guy?

And to be fair, I've actually heard that sentiment from actual voters - that he couldn't have possibly won, because it's impossible for that many people to like and support him. Never accounting for the fact that so many people grew to really hate the incumbent and were actively voting against him.

Maybe they are thinking “This gives us more experience that we can add to our auditing resume; and we can develop the tricks we need to ‘find’ more votes in counties where the R’s lost.”

I suspect it might be more that they could actually get away with doing it - that county officials would be compliant/ complicit. The news story of doing an audit on the election is enough to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election for their target audience. And if they were able to find any inconsistencies that might also allow pressure to be applied for more county audits.

The logic is that they pick the most Republican places they can find, like Fulton County where 85% of people voted for trump, and where they can get unfettered access to voting equipment. Then they hire fake election consultants like Wake TSI to make bullshit reports stating the machines are unreliable to plant seeds of doubt in the election process. It’s both transparently evil and effective.
