On Friday, Arizona’s Republican Senate finally released the results of its fraudulent “audit” of the presidential election. To no one’s surprise, the report could not find any evidence to support Trump’s Big Lie that the election was stolen from him.

But reporters and commentators that focus just on that are missing the real purpose of the Arizona audit and those like it in other states.

In my new piece, "Arizona Proves Again That Trump Is the GOP's Useful Idiot", I highlight how the real reason the GOP is abetting Trumpist conspiracy theories is to justify restrictive voting rights laws, keep the base fired up for the midterms and lay the groundwork for letting partisan actors step in to influence the outcome of close elections.

Make no mistake, Trump’s greatest contribution to the GOP is his promotion of voter suppression and undermining elections.
