Washington state GOP secretary of state slams fellow Republicans for attempting Arizona "recount"

In a rare move, Washington's Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman blasted her own party's move in Arizona to "recount" 2020 election results in Maricopa County — an effort spearheaded by the pro-Trump private consulting firm "Cyber Ninjas," which has been enlisted by Republican leaders in the Arizona state Senate.

During a CNN interview on Wednesday morning, Wyman joined "New Day" anchor John Berman to discuss the ongoing efforts in Arizona to overturn legitimate results via a phony "recount," which Trump views as a path back to the White House. The Republican secretary of state further warned viewers that the unprecedented steps being taken by the state GOP "should alarm every American."

"And Madam Secretary, you see like flashing, you know, red warning signs and sirens here based on what's happening in Arizona. Why?" anchor John Berman began the segment asking Wyman. The secretary of state replied by citing the private company, "Cyber Ninjas," taking over command of the "recount."



"Well, because we're witnessing an event that has absolutely unprecedented movement in elections," Wyman responded to Berman's question. "We've never seen a private company be able to come in and take command and control of live ballots that were used in an election, and the precedence of this is just unnerving for election officials across the country. And it should alarm every American in the country because we don't want people to be able to just walk into a crime scene and contaminate evidence for a future trial. That's what this is."
