TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND THEN APPRECIATE HOW HUGE THIS IS
This somewhat-swampy article from the Arizona Republic newspaper (archive here) explains that the GOP was allowed to inspect a total of 200 ballots to find hard evidence of fraud.
100 early (mail-in) ballots can be checked for signature matching
100 duplicate ballots (created when the original was damaged such that it couldn't be read by the counting machines) can be checked for accuracy.
During the preliminary hearing, Warner said he would allow Ward's lawyers to compare signatures on 100 random early ballot envelopes with the signatures on file for those voters, instead of the thousands of ballots Ward's team initially sought to review.
He said he would let the team inspect 100 ballots election officials worked to duplicate after tabulators failed to read them as well.
This video announcement from Dr. Kelli Ward, Chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, announces that of the 100 duplicate ballots inspected, one vote was switched from Trump to Biden and one Trump vote was not counted. That's a net change of three votes (Trump -2, Biden +1).
That's HUGE but not the end of the game when it comes to the election because there are a relatively small number of duplicate ballots (again, they're created only when the original is damaged).
The signature matching of the other 100 ballots is the real potential game changer, because there were more than 2 million early ballots case in Arizona. A 3% error rate there would invalidate the entire election.
