PHOENIX — Among concerns surrounding transparency in an effort to recount ballots cast in the 2020 election in Maricopa County, ABC15 has learned the company leading the effort is now requiring legal documents be signed by volunteers who want to participate.

Tuesday, an anonymous observer who volunteered to take part in watching the hand recount of ballots, sent ABC15 a copy of an agreement they say Cyber Ninjas is now requiring all observers to sign.

The non-disclosure agreement explains observers must agree to keep information detailing what they saw and experienced while present to themselves, unless given permission by the company.

“The very heart of being an observer is to be able to watch, to observe, to take that information and to share it with others," said Tammy Patrick with the Democracy Fund. Patrick previously worked at the Maricopa County Elections Department from 2003 to 2014.

"To have a non-disclosure agreement is the exact opposite of what the heart of an observation program is supposed to be remedying," she added.

can this go on? Seems other states did audits in a few days. These idiots have had over a week to create mischief with the ballots.

It takes time to figure out how to change the votes and erase the trail!

I'm nauseated about how this will go down. some predetermined outcome that then is used as pretext for ANOTHER red state legislature (WI? GA? PA?) to do the same. And so on. And so on. And so on.

The affairs of government are to be publicly conducted. This will go nowhere. Wonder what the “Cyber Ninjas” are afraid of?
