Arizona Cyber Ninjas audit - Text messages show election audit officials knew about security lapses
Text messages show election audit officials knew about security lapses

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Text messages released as a result of a lawsuit against the controversial Arizona audit show officials knew there were security problems at the audit facility, despite their public statements that claimed otherwise.
In the days leading up to the beginning of the audit, Arizona's Family Investigates gained access to the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum through open bay doors, unlocked side doors and doors left propped open. Federal election law required the site to be secure because it contained election equipment and ballots.
But after our story aired, audit officials publicly denied there was any problem. "I think we've confirmed that when we let some other press come into the building, one of them propped the door open so that somebody else, maybe Morgan, could gain access," said Ken Bennett, who was a spokesman for the audit at the time.
