If the audits won't change anything then why vigorously fight so hard to stop them. It's a question those attempting to impede the audits and scoff at the audits are unable to answer. Not fighting the audits would be the correct course of action.
If it will change nothing as they claim then stop fighting the audits. Not any harder than that.

My best guess is that most people -- the vast majority of people -- will accept the findings IF the auditors have done their job properly, and can and do document and prove their findings.
My prediction is it won't change one person's opinion regardless of what they find either way. Just like that report....
Mueller? Mueller? Anyone? Mueller?

Is this the Cyber Ninja audit, or am I confusing it with somewhere else?
If it is the above I'm not actually holding on to the idea that it will be credible. My expectation is that they will conclude some kind of Ocean's Eleven kind of conspiracy took place but that they can't present any actual evidence of it, only supposition.
Given that they have no experience of forensic audits...
...and that senior people have expressed bias in public...
I don't expect history to see them kindly.

The Mueller report showed what most rational people expected it to show : Nothing

A devastating letter written by Arizona Senate President Karen Fann on voting irregularities, and probably fraud, in Maricopa County during the 2020 Presidential Election.
Don't expect to get the raw report from the actual "auditors" either.
From your OP:
It’s probably going to take about a month to do it. We need to draft it, then review it, and get it finalized. Probably a month.
The Cyber Ninja coordinators already know what data they have and what it shows.
The spin will be woven into in the drafting, review and finalization (being done as we speak in Montana, no doubt). That's why it's taking so long. Not only are they spiking anticipation, they have to gizz it up to make people feel like their investment was justified, and give them enough fuel to proliferate this kind of "audit" to other states.
The GOP needs to justify all these voter suppression bills being enacted because too many Democrats and people of color voted in the last election. They need this audit to show why we need to make voting harder for certain people.
Something else, of the Steve Bannons or Mr. Trump saying it was stolen, devastating news coming down the pike for Democrats ("Polly want a kracken?"): unless they have inside information, if the audit comes back Biden won, not enough fraud to make squat, these big names have royally shot themselves in the foot. If they don't know anything, they are jeopardizing setting back the good of their cause, for being discredited people, that misled in serious matters. That would not be wise. Huge mistake, if the stolen election talking heads don't already know something the rest of us don't know. This would also be dishonest

That just doesn't jibe. If this were a grand Republican plot to stop minorities from voting, then the Maricopa County Republicans would be totally on board with it as well -- NOT fighting the audit. Of course, it would be predominantly Red and Brown people affected here, rather than Black people.
Personally, I think this Great White Savior complex is wearing thin on minorities who are tired of being called too stupid and lazy to figure out how to vote.
LOL -- that's a whole lot of bias in your statement! As far as Montana, we've only been told that further analysis is being done there by auditors, not the writing of the final report.

So you just expect spin? No facts? No data? No proof?
I expect spin doctors to spin the data, invent facts and claim proof of wrong doing.
Right now, for example, the only findings that have been announced is that they have found "irregularities". Irregularities don't equal wrong doing, fraud or incompetency, but they will spin those irregularities to create doubt and ensure confirmation bias.

Wow! So, you think all Arizona Republicans would be on board with racism, if that was what this was really all about?
This statement is steeped in ignorance. For starters, Do you wonder why some people wait in line 6-10 hours to vote and others just "walk in and done". Do a little research comparing the number polling places and ballot drop boxes located in densely populated minority neighborhoods compared to the number polling places and ballot drop boxes located in wealthy white neighborhoods. This has nothing to do with projected laziness or stupidly. It insidiously calculated.
Do you wonder why audits are only being done in counties that Trump lost? Think that could indicate bias?
And, you're right, they're not writing the final report right now in Montana. They say they still still need another month, no doubt to perfect their spin and test it out in control groups, and of course, keep that anticipation mounting, just in time for Pillow Guy and Q's celebration of Trump being reinstated in the Oval Office in August!

I completely and totally agree. And I haven't ruled out the possibility that some/many are actually doing this with the sole intention of discrediting and destroying the party. I don't trust ANY of them!!!
And Bannon especially is one who keeps making statements and projections of what has been found, and I don't like it one bit. But I'm not a fan of Bannon anyway. I can't look at him without seeing the party pothead asking anyone and everyone, "Hey dude -- got a doobie? Who's got a doobie???" But maybe that's just me LOL!
And IF they find fraud, and it's documented, it wouldn't matter if Trump himself did the counting, evidence with proof is just that.
