As Cyber Ninjas and other contractors hired by the Arizona Senate are set to resume counting ballots at Veterans Memorial Coliseum next week, several questions about the audit remain: Where is the money coming from? How did the Senate choose these companies? Who runs the sometimes inflammatory Twitter account?
A lawsuit filed Wednesdaycould [SIC] shake loose many of those details.
Maricopa County also is threatening separate legal action that could make answers to those questions public, too.
A nonprofit group called American Oversight, which formed in 2017 to investigate potential fraud in the Trump administration, filed the suit after the Senate declined to turn over records when they were requested through the state public records law.
A hearing is set for Thursday.
