CyberNinjas Arizona report: Surprise! Biden still won!

The whole “this was a massive waste of everyone’s time and money” thing wasn’t stated in so many words, but strongly implied by literally everything else that led us to this point. But first, a sneak preview of tomorrow’s official release, per Arizona’s KNXV-TV:

Nearly six months after it started, and at a cost of $5.7 million, the findings of a forensic audit of the 2020 Maricopa County presidential election will be released Friday.

Some details from a draft copy of the audit report dated September 23 began circulating Thursday. ABC15 obtained the draft copy through a public records request to the Secretary of State’s Office, which matched multiple copies our station received independently.

The draft of the forensic audit’s hand count totals of paper ballots was not substantially different than Maricopa County’s official numbers. In both counts, Biden wins.

The report addresses other concerns about whether voters may have voted twice or if people were not using their current address to vote. It also makes suggestions on how to make improvements to Arizona’s election system. The report found no evidence of some of the claims, like bamboo paper ballots coming from China.

The auditors continued to take issue with Maricopa County not providing all of the elections computer server information they requested.

The auditors are set to present their findings Friday at 1 p.m. in the State Senate.

The release of the findings comes nearly a year after President Biden won the 2020 election.

Okay, back to me...

And let’s give credit where credit’s due: for all the shit we gave CyberNinjas head Doug Logan being motivated by Trumpist conspiracy theories (like the people who paid for this nonsense) and our worries about how that would taint his actual numbers, not only did he did come up with a count that largely matched the official numbers, but (per KZZZ, which has the full text of the report) the CyberNinjas tally found 99 more votes for Biden and subtracted an extra 261 from Trump.

Whoops.
