An Arizona judge on Wednesday questioned the claim that the public does not have the right to know who is funding the audit of the Maricopa County vote tally in the 2020 presidential election.
The controversial audit, a Republican state Senate-led effort to determine the validity of former President Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden in the previously red state, has been criticized over its methods and undisclosed sources of funding.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp questioned Kory Langhofer, an attorney for Senate President Karen Fann who has resisted calls to release donor names. The judge noted Fann hired an outside firm, Cyber Ninjas, to conduct the audit, adding Fann has said the audit is an "important constitutional duty."
"Isn’t the public entitled to know who’s paying for this, besides the $150,000 the Senate has already appropriated?" the judge asked Langhofer at a hearing in Phoenix.
"That’s a great political argument," Langhofer said. "They should talk to the Legislature about it."
Langhofer said that donation records are not held by Fann or anyone within the Senate, adding that Cyber Ninjas maintains access to the list of unspecified donors who have contributed to the recount efforts. The attorney argued the arrangement puts the Senate outside of the scope of the state's public records disclosure law.

Quick, everyone donate a dollar and make it a really really long list.
Just hoping it isn’t something “Estate of Larry Flynt”.
Donated $20
Never a dime to the GOP
But all forensic audits are good by definition
Right after the judge discloses how much Soros is bribing him for this judgement.
Just another attempt to discredit the audit.
But it’s OK to keep the names of the people who purchase Hunters artwork a secret. I can’t wait for justice with a vengeance.
A full court press to discredit the upcoming report...
If you are taking flak you are over the target
I have no problem with this,
The more transparency the better.
Exactly!!
And, everything else he funded for this stolen election coordination.
Great point.
Same here. It cannot come fast enough.
But, I know His timing is perfect.
Good point
judge on Wednesday questioned the claim that the public does not have the right to know who is funding the audit ?//
The public ( not gov.)
already knows moron cuz they are the ones that funded it.
No, it’s you the .gov that wants to know ,
probably so Biden can sick his brand new IRS hires right up the public’s butt .
Why does .gov want to know ?, so you can claim the doners are funding ‘ insurection’ ?.
Judge Kemp appointed by former Democrat gov Janet Napolitano.
Not doing the audit would be controversial.
“The controversial audit, a Republican state Senate-led effort”
And one that is done under black letter Arizona law.
People demanding disclosure of names for the purpose of intimidation and harassment of people need to be JAILED, be them judges or anyone else.
When Democrats decide to be CIVIL, then I won’t have an issue with releasing names...in other words, never.
How about a list of donors to BLM and Antifa? And all the other democrat operations. Including those who are attacking the audit.
A friend of mine in Texas says Arizona is going to flip to Trump by 750,000 votes.
The left knows this and they’re getting desperate.
