"
What's the probability DP's Big Lie proponents will change their tune?" I say about the same probability that the MSM and DP's anti-Trump cadre will change theirs.
Fact is, most of us of any political leaning didn't think the audit would actually change the outcome for Arizona, but many believed that it would either reveal a near error and corruption free election OR serious problems that undermine electoral credibility and public confidence. And contrary to the desperate MSM spin to pretend otherwise, and a confirmation of the legitimacy of Arizona's electoral process it has done quite the opposite - it has shown gaping holes and audit terrified officials that have had a reason to obstruct full disclosure of their "management".
Full, true and plain disclosure of public processes and records is a fundamental obligation in a democracy. As such it is also the obligation of public officials to comply with government directed compliance audits. Any public official who obstructs election audits of their compliance with the law, rules, and election regulations and policies is, by definition, corrupt and is facilitating corruption.
At the very least obstruction is accomplished by "don't ask, then don't tell" mentality of government workers. At the worst is outright refusal to cooperate and/or lying. They will invent all sorts of excuses in their campaign against honest elections and when faced with anticipated bad results will convince themselves that adverse results don't matter.
Yet, in spite of determined obstruction of the audit it did manage to uncover very serious problems, sufficiently close to the margin of error to confirm that Arizona election offices in some counties are either corrupt and/or horribly incompetent and, perhaps, close enough to have changed the election.
How deep is the rabbit hole? Consider this summary:

In short, this is yet another example why the public has no confidence in our election systems and why, by any reasonable measure, it isn't credible. If this is what is discovered in spite of the "on all fours" resistance by election officials, no telling what could be discovered had they in good faith joined the audit as an opportunity for improvement.
We now have a glimpse as to what they have been hiding.
