I'm having trouble seeing a route that doesn't involve asking people to ignore the law and put someone unelected into power.
The goal of this audit is to find evidence that will bolster the claims that there was significant election fraud. That evidence could be used to push for changes to future elections, for campaigning purposes, whatever.
Whether this is a good-faith effort to identify actual potential fraud or an attempt to manufacture FUD about the elections process is left as an exercise for the reader.
[1] regardless of one's other beliefs about access journalism, which if you are replying to this because I cited Haberman, I likely agree with.
If this was a legal case they would be doing it differently. It's not. They are using their opposition's tactics for generating support that will extend into future elections.
If they find something wrong, then they know what to fix. If not, they pivot.
The outrage over how the audit is being conducting is expected. They want this to be covered by outlets such as NPR.
^ You can listen to their findings and explanations. They dont' expect anything besides improving elections for the future; this is per the AZ senate.

Ah yes, one of the numerous and thoroughly debunked Trump camp conspiracy theories about the election. Are you going to bring up missing suitcases full of ballots or sharpies as well?
Now at least we know which side you're on.
If you actually look at the evidence, you will realise it is not debunked. If youtube hasn't pulled the video, they go through the evidence in a hearing in front of the Georgia State Legislature.
Many of them originally doubt the evidence, believing it to be den=bunked as reported in the media. After seeing the evidence, they are appalled at the deceit of the election officials.
The power structures that be wish to ignore it, but like like Galileo being confident in his findings against a biased establishment Catholic Church, the truth will come out.
Long videos, but as you can see has been watched by many. Bit describing the "pipe burst" starts at 13:50 of the 2nd link. But there is so much more evidence here than just that once instance.

It won't get that far. At this point, the court does not have the power to change the election outcome of that county. That will lead to immediate dismissal of the case as moot.
Can you imagine the absolute chaos that would result if the audit was able to find enough evidence that would change the outcome? If I were a judge having to make a decision with such implications I would fear for my life. I would fear for the rule-of-law and being seen as a 21st century Roger Taney. My name would probably be listed in the Wikipedia article under "Causes of the Second American Civil War".
So here's what I predict will happen. The audit will find fraud (that's what it was designed to do here). But the amount and impact will be debatable enough such that the results are not overturned. Media outlets are not interested in making this Watergate 2.0 and they most certainly do not want Donald J. Trump back in office. They certainly do not want to give energy to conducting an audit in Georgia and giving any credibility to the Arizona audit would facilitate that. In 40 or 50 years maybe we will find the truth.
