Arizona audit funding cloaked in secrecy

(CNN) — Three weeks into the Arizona Senate's unorthodox audit of the 2020 presidential election results, one potential winner seems to be emerging, regardless of any count: Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based consulting firm being paid to lead the analysis of the votes in populous Maricopa County.

Private fundraisers have boasted that they're funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to the effort led by the security consulting firm, a company not previously known for election auditing. But there's little or no scrutiny on where that money is going or how it's being used.

A CNN review of state records shows no contractual provisions or safeguards controlling how much money Cyber Ninjas can accept from private contributors, how it can be spent, or even whether it needs to account to the Senate for those funds.

In fact, the Senate's spokesman for the audit acknowledged that the Senate isn't exercising any oversight or control over Cyber Ninjas' use of the private funds, which are expected to support the majority of the auditing efforts. The way the funding for the work is structured appears to skirt state transparency laws, CNN's review found.

1. everything about this so called 'audit' is hidden, not in the public eye, or anything like that...I

suspect that they'll come out w/ the biggest lie of all, and said that fraud happened, that rump won instead, etc.

If they do this, then everyone of these AZ 'auditors' should be arrested and charged w/ fraud (creating or manufacturing evidence of 'fraud'), interfering w/ a lawfully run election, etc. and prosecuted / the FEC should be involved too (Fed. Election Comm.).

No body in their right mind would ever believe any conclusion made by this so called group of 'auditors'...if anything, they are a joke.
