The largest newspaper in Arizona announced Thursday that it has filed lawsuit to obtain financial records and communications from the Republican-led state Senate and Cyber Ninjas, the private firm that has overseen a highly irregular recount of the 2020 election in Maricopa County.
"Arizona law entitles the public to know how this audit is being conducted and funded," David Bodney, an attorney for The Arizona Republic, said in a statement.
In a June 30 complaint, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, the newspaper argues that it is entitled to the records under the state's public records law. The lawsuit comes after the parties denied a request to hand the documents over voluntarily.
Neither Cyber Ninjas nor state Senate President Karen Fann, who led the push for the controversial review of the Maricopa County results, responded to requests for comment.
Last month, Ken Bennett, a former elected Republican who is serving as spokesperson for the "audit," said workers had finished counting the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in the county, which President Joe Biden won by more than 45,000 votes. But he said a final report could be months away.
The partisan review, which began in late April, has been mired in controversy from the start. For one, it comes after Maricopa County's Republican-led Recorder's office already conducted a professional review of the 2020 vote that disproved allegations of widespread fraud.

Business Insider is a propaganda arm of the oligarch class (i.e., commies) in the United States. Clearly they side with election fraudsters.
“Arizona law entitles the public
to know how this audit is being
conducted and funded*\
You’d think this ‘ news’ paper
would recognize
“Arizona law entitles the public
to know how this election was
being conducted and funded.
And that paper isn’t “ Arizona”.
It’s a private entertainment rag
along the lines of the Babylon Bee
and not entitled to dog crap.
Jmho.
The “free” press is suing a group that is try to get to the truth. Welcome to the USSA.
The insanity continues...... it is amazing because this audit we are finding out who the Rats really are!
As I’ve followed events this audit is not simply a recount of votes. It is an audit. It does things like checking ballot signatures against registration signatures, checking that mail-in ballots have fold marks, checking that voters addresses represent domiciles, checking that counted ballots were the correct ballots for the listed addresses, and counting numbers of counted ballots against the numbers of voters for each ballot type.
These tasks take lots of time to perform, and each ballot check relies on the other ballot checks before it can be validated. It would be impossible to render a preliminary count.
Auditing the auditors!
Gotta love it! Who’s going to monitor the Arizona Republic to make sure it is properly handling its review of audit-related communications?
Isaiah 5:20.
The democrats will try anything to interfere with this audit and the release of the outcome!

Yep, this drivel by Charles Davis is dripping in lefty Bias.
They do not want to report the results.
Sucks when the bodies won’t stay buried.
Business Insider, clearly a Democratic screed, is going to find out that they’ve wasted a lot of money on lawyers for nothing.
ANY “serious” communication will be conducted through lawyers who are protected by the stone wall of “attorney-client privilege. That’s where the cliché “beating your head against the wall” came from.
...and if the judge imposes a gag order, Business Insider can’t report on their own fake news story.

False advertisement. Misrepresentation.
The fact audit is in quotes in the headline tells you all you need to know about this source and it’s bias
How about suing the newspaper to find out which Democrats gave them the idea of investigating and now suing Cyber Ninjas, and who is financing the lawsuit?
But our side SHOULD be noting the collusion here between the newspaper and the Democrats - it’s a way for the Democrats to fight the audit, while keeping their hands clean.

And, throughout their “article”, as well.
Leftist liars.
I was thinking counter-suit, too.
