Cyber Ninjas continues fight to withhold Arizona election audit records – By Ryan Randazzo (Arizona Republic) / Nov 12 2021
Cyber Ninjas lost an appeal in court this week in its fight against turning over more records from its work on the Maricopa County election review, and now the Florida-based company is saying it has no more records to share and also isn’t subject to the law.
The Arizona Republic sued the state Senate and Cyber Ninjas, the company the Senate contracted with to review the 2020 election, seeking records such as emails and text messages associated with the audit.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah determined that records Cyber Ninjas possesses are indeed public records subject to public review under state law, and the Arizona Court of Appeals concurred.
In a Tuesday decision, the Court of Appeals rejected Cyber Ninjas’ argument that it could not be sued for public records, which the Senate requested from the company after losing another legal challenge for the documents.
