That's just false though.
If you were right, he would just let the audit go through so that he could rub it in the GOP's face.
Its like Biden's mistake with the oil pipeline. If Biden had actually made any progress in finding the hackers, he would have made it public, not covered it up.
You've lost the thread. There is no "federal election". Period. Done. End of story.
The Constitution gives no right whatsoever to federal agencies to interfere in elections, or even take part. There's a process to contest an election you're involved in, but that's it.
Elections are a state and local right, Constitutionally guaranteed, and States and localities have full purview on how they handle their elections, as well as any audits, recounts, etc.
The federal government can become involved if the state violates their Constitutional mandates, they can become involved if there's crime committed. That's it. One of those is Judicial, the other is DOJ.
So the real answer has nothing to do with right, wrong, win, lose, fraud, or clean. The real answer is that this is yet another attempt by agents of the Federal Government to usurp the rights and authority of the States.
