I guess they, Colbert, and you missed the parts of the report that dramatically increased the numbers of explicit mismatches and errors in mail in ballots --
23,344 mail-in ballots were received from voters’ previous addresses (illegal ballots)
10,342 potential voters that voted in multiple counties
9,041 more ballots returned by voters than noted as received
2,592 more duplicate ballots than original ballots sent to duplication.
2,382 in-person voters who had moved out of Maricopa County.
2,081 voters who moved out of state during the 29-day period preceding the election.
17,322 duplicates were found, with some voters having cast the same ballot three to four times.
For the ballots that didnt suffer those issues (and there is no way to know how the above voted, mind you), the actual tally did increase Biden's win total by a little under 1,000 votes.
But , if you are going to crow about those results, at least know and address the underlying very serious issues that the audit brought to the fore.
That seems to be a problem with letting Colbert be your news anchor of choice, mind you.
Responses to a number of those claims from Maricopa County officials:

Regarding the illegal ballot claim:
Quote:The only "critical" claim that Cyber Ninjas identified in its report was that 23,344 voters had their ballots mailed to old addresses.
The county cites numerous legal reasons why this would be the case, including if the voter is in the military, if the voters recently moved and hadn't updated their driver's license address, or had requested a one-time temporary address request.
Cyber Ninjas used a commercial database service called Melissa to try to find voters' addresses and compare them with the voters' addresses in the county's database. They used this method to identify several discrepancies, including voters they claimed had moved out of state before they voted and people who had died before they voted.
But that database is not always accurate and does not always have all voter information. The contractors admitted as much when, later in their report, they noted that they couldn’t locate information for about 86,391 voters using the service.
Or, ya know, just drink the conspiracy stuff from a water hose.

I would say that the posted link is accurate. Trump bootstrapped a lot into the numbers.
Here is the pertinent line in the WaPo article I think that nails the point:
Quote:One of the themes that you’ll see in Trump’s claims is his unwavering insistence that 1) the estimates provided by the team conducting the review are, in fact, ironclad and that 2) they necessarily represent fraud to President Biden’s benefit.
First they arent ironclad. Absolutely. But even if off by smaller numbers, they still represent a fkload of discrepancies.
Second, I dont think I ever said that 'all of the discrepancies go one way', or that they predominantly go one way.
But, the sheer fing magnitude of some of them does give cause for alarm about the accuracy of the process, and the potential for ill-intentioned misuse of that process.
For example, even if you halve the first point in numbers -- the mere fact that 10,000 to 20,000 votes potentially voting these ballots sent to a place that they dont reside seems pretty gd problematic to me. No matter *what* the breakdown in Trump/Biden votes. Even at half that number, that represents almost an entirety of the difference in the vote totals. That gives me some really pause for concern -- no matter how they went. It should for any logical, self-respecting objective observer.
The WaPo goes into detail on how Trump misquoted the numebrs, and findings of the report. The WaPo is accurate as to *Trump's* statements. Absolutely.
But the issues, even after removing the 'Trump alteration' lens, still remain. The WaPo does a good job in identifying the *Trump* misstatements in the report numbers. But, those arent the report numbers, are they?
Oh, and to be clear, I am not repeating Trump's claims as to the report. Funny that.
