(CNN) The company that conducted Arizona's sham review of the 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County during the 2020 presidential election is set Monday to deliver a report detailing their findings to the Republican state senators who ordered it up.
Elections experts in both parties have said for months that results of the so-called "audit" -- conducted by the Florida-based company Cyber Ninjas, which had no experience auditing election results and is led by a man who has repeated wild conspiracy theories about election fraud -- will not be credible.
The company and its volunteers and subcontractors did not follow standard auditing procedures. Observers from Democratic secretary of state Katie Hobbs' office have repeatedly noted instances in which those conducting the audit have broken their own rules.
And the partisan nature of the audit and its funders -- $5.7 million came from outside, conservative sources, compared to just $150,000 from the Arizona state Senate, which ordered the audit -- has long cast serious doubt on its credibility.

Republicans use government institutions as channeling tools to play (externally produced and paid for) propaganda into the media.
