Arizona Audit results leaked before release tomorrow- Reveals nothing changed in results

IF this is true, I can't wait to read all the takes on the right-wing intertoobs that the audit wasn't conducted by true conservatives and needs to be redone by even more rabid Trumpees.

Just want to throw out there some of my personal experience with absentee voting, knowing full well that I'm a pretty exceptional case. I've never changed my voter registration from Washington State, even though I've moved to both DC and Scotland since 2018. Washington is already all-mail, so there's no separate category for "even more absentee than usual." The amount of time I've had before the election to fill out my ballot and the amount of time it's taken to get back to the county office has varied wildly with each election - literal weeks difference between the fastest and slowest instances. If Washington didn't have the "must be postmarked before the election" rule instead of "must arrive before polls close," there are several cases when it would have been literally impossible for me to vote on time. And you can be as strict as you want about who gets to vote absentee, the only alternatives to absentee voting from Scotland are either to fly home in the middle of a pandemic for several thousand dollars round trip and two weeks of quarantine upon return at my expense, or forgo my American citizenship to become a UK citizen and vote in the elections there. Either way, not the best way to participate in American democracy.
