The Supervisor of Elections, Alan Hays, was formerly a State Representative (R) and is not at all happy, or even OK with the ‘BIG LIE’. The local Big Lie aficionados have called for a ‘forensic audit’ comparable to the ‘audit’ done in Maricopa County, AZ. (Trump got 60% of the votes in Lake County.) Mr. Hays calls out the local Republican Party leadership, and demands a response from them. So far, ...crickets…
Perhaps your election officials would appreciate being made aware of how one of theirs is responding to attacks on their integrity.

“...These people are alleging that I oppose doing a forensic audit. That statement is FALSE!! ...
“...There continues to be a reliance on unproven algorithms and analysis that has been the basis of these “stolen” election claims, yet no one has provided any names of fraudulent voters, fraudulent ballot tabulation or anything related to the same.
