Well, the election is good and "stolen" and nothing that happens here will change that. The result of the audit, even if it turns out that there were shenanigans, will not overturn the certified results of the election. It can only change future election law to shore up issues so that another election could not be "stolen". On the other hand an audit can also simply underline that the rules were followed, that nothing untoward happened and reassure a majority (not the super crazies, but a majority) of folks that think an audit is something necessary in their election.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
