You are a snob and an elitist. So a person with no experience with elections (a good thing probably) and no reporting service (what that has to do with anything is beyond me) is checking for irregularities which you want to call voter fraud (the tested buzz word of the left). With these close vote counts, irregularities, intentional or not, could change the outcome of an election. I would think that the "party of the people" would really like to know what the people voted for. You reluctance clearly shows your bias and hypocrisy. Think of it like this, a wife suspects her husband of adultery. She hires a private detective to get the goods on the unfaithful spouse. She has a sealed reported delivered to her in front the collective families at a family gathering. She announces that she is going to open the report and read it. The husband (that would be the democrat party) insists that he has done nothing wrong but demands that any report from any private detective remain sealed. That is she opens the report that she is showing that she never loved him. That if she looks at the report then she in practice asking for a divorce. That if she reads the report to the families then she must be cheating on him and this report is a cover for her own infidelity. He still insists that he has done nothing wrong and wants the report burned unopened. He even gets vocal members of the family to insist that the report be burned.
If the husband (the democrat party) is innocent then why not have the report read or in this case, why not do a complete analysis of the election? But that's the rub, the husband is not acting innocent and is just buying time or trying to mentally abuse his wife into complying.

Hell, Attorney General William Barr (Trump's butt boy) declared the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.
Your problem is not that the Democrats don't want to do a recount. The problem is that the Republicans simply won't believe the results of the recount that was already done. Legally done by the way. What the Arizona senate is doing now is more political theater that will have no effect on the outcome of the 2020 election and will simply feed the paranoia and conspiracy hogwash that you are hanging onto for dear life.
This obsession with Trump's Big Lie and the attempts to overturn a legal election is deeply un-democratic and deeply un-american.
