I don't think they do anymore. The judge was clear about the Senate's authority. He didn't grant them permission, he rules that the Senate already had the authority and can exercise that authority. At this point, I don't think the board has a leg to stand on (legally.) This is all bluster and bs to start throwing doubt on the auditors. The next step (which they have already started) is to cast doubt on the whole process, so the politicians and press have cover to say, "Disputed results of the audit." or, "Controversial audit," or stuff like that. I believe that is why the Senate has been careful, because they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't, so they seem to be moving forward with a solid forensic audit (not a fake one.) We will see. A lot could go wrong.
