An Odd Recount Request - Check for Bamboo

Good Heavens, nincompoopery is raging in Arizona. Arizona was one of the states that Donald Trump had won in 2016 and lost in 2020. It is also home to my friends and in laws, all of whom I try to disassociate with the bat shit crazy ideas running around that state (and the Phoenix area in particular).


There was the official vote. Which Biden won by very slim 10,457 votes (out of 3+ million cast). 

Then there was a recount of the state - no change. 

Then a requested recount of the counties that Biden won big - no change. Then the official results - no change. 

Now, six months after the vote is a recount which the Republicans have paid for and are using a team that has never completed a recall. A team from Florida that has already said it doesn't believe Joe Biden won.This is an odd recount where the current team is no longer counting ballots, but checking them for bamboo fibers. They are doing this to "prove" 20,000 votes were flown in from China (via South-East Asia) to be cast for Biden. This 20,000 bamboo fiber votes would then be tossed and Donald Trump would be declared the winner.

Donald Trump has endorsed this idea ("Bamboo ballots? Sure, that's possible.") and thinks it will usher him back into the White House. Which would all be hilarious, if it wasn't dead serious.
