Arizona court is going to decide whether to hold the state Senate in contempt for failing to hand

over documents from the Cyber Ninjas 'audit'

An Arizona court is set to decide early next month whether to hold the Republican-led state Senate in contempt for failing to hand over documents related to the partisan, Cyber Ninjas review of ballots cast in the 2020 election.

On Tuesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp set a hearing for December 2 to address the lack of compliance with his earlier ruling that the documents should be handed over.

Attorneys for the state Senate, which commissioned the review of Maricopa County's 2.1 million ballots, have said some of the documents are protected by "legislative privilege," an argument the court rejected last month.

"t is hard to imagine more serious litigation than the disclosure of documents underlying an audit of the election of the President of the United States and a United States Senator," Judge Kemp wrote at the time. "This goes to the heart of our democracy and this audit was done in response to allegations of fraud and corruption."

GOP spends taxpayers funds on allegations that they can't provide evidence for in a State Court.

Tell me this isn't an Organized Crime Party.

I think I heard this morning that the cost for the audit was 9 million, and that did NOT include the bill for cyber ninjas!

Maybe the judge will make them reimburse the state...
