A monthslong hand recount of the count in Arizona's largest county once again confirmed President Joe Biden won the 2020 election and the race was not "stolen" from former President Donald Trump, according to early versions of a report prepared for the Arizona Senate. The three-volume report by the Cyber Ninjas, the Senate’s lead contractor, that examined Maricopa County's 2020 vote includes results that show Trump lost by a wider margin than the county’s official election results. The official results are set to be presented to the state Senate at 1 p.m. Friday. Several versions of the draft report, titled "Maricopa County Forensic Audit" by Cyber Ninjas, circulated prematurely on Wednesday and Thursday. Multiple versions were obtained by The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network. The hand count shows Trump received 45,469 fewer votes than Biden. The county results showed he lost by 45,109. The draft audit report says, however, the election results are inconclusive.
