Trump s Big Lie that he lost the election because of voter fraud continues in Arizona s ridiculous audit, run by a QAnon-friendly company Cyber Ninjas.
Republicans in Congress could demonstrate a commitment to democracy and condemn the Arizona audit fiasco.
GOP leadership either supports the audit or is so afraid of offending Trump that they re staying silent.
This is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed are those of the author.
The vast majority of elected Republicans would really rather not talk about January 6 anymore.

In a bid to bolster former President Donald Trump’s lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Trump’s Republican allies are now seeking Arizona-style audits in other swing states including Georgia, where the former President’s false claims have set off an intraparty war.
A day after Trump said in a statement that Georgia should follow Arizona’s lead, former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Trump supporter who is challenging incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in next year’s GOP primary, proposed an audit Wednesday.
“Georgians still have questions about irregularities found in the 2020 election and they deserve answers,” he said in a statement. “We must get to the bottom of all of this and other irregularities to restore trust in our election process. If Mr. Kemp refuses to demand an audit, then I will when I am elected to replace him.”
