A sanction is either officially or formally confirmed. You were trying to use the example of "public opinion" and in doing so, you misused a word. You are very inarticulate, and do that quite a bit I've noticed.
Even when you're shown to be FOS, playing your own dictionary game, you ignore that not fitting your narrative. You don't appear to even understand the word 'formal'.
There were at least four definitions that are not relegated to government or legal domain, which I highlighted.
From Cambridge:
approval or permission, especially formal or legal:
They tried to get official sanction for the plans
See? 'especially formally or legal but not limited to that confine. Try this:
approval or permission:
To be just, a government must have the sanction of the governed.
See? The people must sanction - approve or accept - their government for it to have validity. In this case, they must accept that election results are valid.

Or from Collins

Exorcise (or exercise, or excise) the demons of your limited vocabulary elsewhere, you perpetually cherry-picking, rat-turd of an intellect.
Couldn't that be said about these people doing the audit?
2 False Pretenses under which the January 6, 2021 rally in Washington D.C. was planned and organized were:
(1) Donald Trump had told his supporters via Twitter, that as of that day (January 6, 2021), it was still possible within the framework of the United States Constitution to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election in his favor. It wasn't still possible, however.
AND
(2) Donald Trump had also told his supporters via Twitter, that his Vice President had the power to unilaterally disregard electoral college votes from states that he had been contesting. The VP has no such authority. Pence's role that day was merely one of ceremonial procedure. It was just a formality. Pence was just there to call the electoral college votes into roll ... nothing more; nothing less.
There is no rally in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 without these 2 lies told by Donald Trump throughout the month of December... and without that rally, there is no march to the U.S. Capitol and therefore, there is no riot.
They should be run by people who declare fraud absolutely occurred before even seeing a ballot? That's the same logic used to justify CRTYou can certainly say that if that is your opinion. My thing is if there is no fraud, there should be nothing at all for the opposition to fear.
Truth be told, this is how all audits should be run. There are cameras everywhere livestreaming every move.
Responses like this are usually more indicative of your personality traits, intelligence etc than that of the person to whom they are directed.
I've given Bowl every opportunity to be civil, but he gets frustrated because he believes stupid things and I point them out. He always devolves into insult and name-calling and I'm more than happy to be merciless to such people.
You might mind your own business until you know the score.
Absolutely but there’s no way the social media lock down changed anythingYou have admitted there is fraud, as an absolute statement. 2020 likely being no exception. So the issue seems to be one of degrees.
I guess the question is, does the Russia crowd believe Trump won in 2016 because of Russian influence?
Be better. Don't sink to a level you find unacceptable in civil discourse. It takes away from any points you might have made with legitimate argument. You didn't come across as merciless or witty. All it did was make your actual argument ineffective.
Saying I’m not slowed by niceties is the opposite of correct. I respond in kind. People who are civil get civil responses.Good; I was going for direct, not 'witty'.
That only works in forum were civil discourse is enforced. Abusive people are not slowed by niceties but encouraged. RT85 is another example. Forums need people like you. And people like me. We'd all like to think a kind word and gesture can turn away coarseness and abuse but most often it means you're lunch; it's a fable.
If one magnifies the return of incivility beyond the broader point made, I can't tell them how to consume what they read.
Fraud units always go into an audit assuming fraud. It's about finding it and supporting it. I don't have an issue because a part of the process is showing your work and source material. If it's sloppy then it benefits the one being audited.They should be run by people who declare fraud absolutely occurred before even seeing a ballot? That's the same logic used to justify CRT
The process of what?Fraud units always go into an audit assuming fraud. It's about finding it and supporting it. I don't have an issue because a part of the process is showing your work and source material. If it's sloppy then it benefits the one being audited.
One of the purposes of any audit is to find abnormalities. That's the intent.The process of what?
Had my taxes audited because they caught a discrepancy made by the state so they checked everything else.
Product auditing is done in a random fashion until an issue is found, and then you do batch audits to isolate and then identify the source of the problem.
Everyday audits of the whole system, without some trigger, is not standard practice in any industry I have ever heard of.
This is at least the second audit on AZ right? Nothing found in the first. So what's the new justification for this second audit?
Except this isn't a professional but rather political. The groups involved also have a vested interest in finding fraudFraud units always go into an audit assuming fraud.

I have never seen an audit firm or unit not having a vested interest in finding fraud. That's the point of an audit. To verify and ensure there are no abnormalities. Fraud can have varying degrees of consequence. Could result in a higher bill or jail.Except this isn't a professional but rather political.

Another abuse of power of power from the Biden DOJ.
