"The audit will validate every area of the voting process to ensure the integrity of the vote," Arizona Senate Republicans said in a statement.
"The scope of work will include, but is not limited to, scanning all the ballots, a full manual recount, auditing the registration and votes cast, the vote counts, and the electronic voting system." According to state-certified results, Biden won the county by just over 45,000 votes and barely won the state by a 10,457-vote margin.
Senate audit liaison and former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett says that they are doubling the number of counters and expanding to three shifts a day instead of two.
The audit has been the target of a significant amount of criticism from the left and supporters of Joe Biden.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow predicted "Disaster" from the audit, and claimed that Trump will use the audit to cast doubt on the results "In a way that none of their failed lawsuits in the past have been able to do."
Even if the audit were to prove that Trump legitimately won Arizona, that would not be enough to change the outcome of the election.
At least two more states would need to be audited and have their results flipped in order for Trump to be proven the legitimate winner of the election.
