Cynically, while being terrible in the short term, this may be a long term, positive outcome. Arizona is going to be an important state, electorally, for the 2024 Election. It's one of the few States which can reasonably be called a "toss-up". While it has been trending Democratic in the last few elections, that is not a guaranteed outcome.

While there, they could well hand the State's 11 Electoral Votes to Biden as well as sending a Democrat to the US Senate. This is why:

Some Arizona Republicans also expressed concerns about the ruling.
Kari Lake, a close ally of Donald Trump and a Republican candidate for the state's seat in the US Senate, said she opposed the decision.

Polling has her just about tied with the Democratic candidate (Ruben Gallego). Anything which increases Democratic turnout is bad for her.
