BS. It has everything to do with Republicans placating Trump's ego, and his losing the 2020 Presidential Election. If Trump had won, Republicans in Arizona wouldn't care about the "safeguarding of our future elections". They would accept the results as valid with no questions asked. How do I know this? Because they didn't audit results following the 2016 Presidential Election.... and the electoral college vote totals were the same then, as they are now (306 to 232).
... and let's face it, if the Republication-controlled Arizona State Legislature's primary mission was simply to arrive at the truth, they would have hired someone other than Doug Logan's firm "Cyber Ninjas Inc." to conduct their audit. Doug Logan has posted provably false claims about Dominion Voting Systems on the website of Trump attorney, Sidney Powell, which she is now being sued for.
Logan has also called the 2020 Presidential Election "rigged". An independent auditor should never pick sides like that, and make a conclusive determination before the audit has even started. It's unprofessional and his company should not be thought of as an objective finder of fact as a result. It's pretty clear why Logan's company (based out of Florida) was chosen. The Republican Arizona State legislature hand-picked "Cyber Ninjas Inc." because they didn't want an objective audit... they wanted someone who would conclude what they want to hear - and Logan already has.
