Former Republican Official Says Audit Has Too Many Flaws To Trust Results


As Cyber Ninjas, prepares to Present its Findings from a widely Criticized Audit of the 2020 Election Results in Arizona's Maricopa County, some Republicans are Strongly Criticizing the Process the Florida-based Company followed.

Trey Grayson (R) who served as Kentucky's Secretary of State from 2004 to 2011, Dismissed the Trustworthiness of the Audit in Remarks Published on Sunday. "There are too many flaws in the way this review was conducted to trust it," Grayson said.

In June, Grayson Co-Authored a Report, outlining the Problems, with the Cyber Ninjas Audit in Arizona. "The processes and procedures used to conduct the Cyber Ninjas review deviate significantly from standard practices for election reviews and audits, as described in this report. Because of these untrustworthy practices and the partisan leanings of those doing the review, any findings by the review are suspect and should not be trusted," that Report concluded.

Ben Ginsberg, a prominent Republican Election Attorney, says that the Funding for the Audit merited Suspicion. Groups supporting Trump have raised more than $5 Million for the Audit, compared to just $150,000 that came from the Arizona State Senate Budget.

"The audience is the funders," Ginsberg said. "The outside funding sources is really important to concentrate on in terms of talking about the legitimacy of the audit."

Cyber Ninjas is scheduled to Submit its Report, on Monday. The Florida-based Company, is owned by Doug Logan, who previously retweeted Posts Promoting Claims that Trump, Lost the 2020 Election, due to Widespread Voter Fraud. Those who helped Conduct the Audit were Recruited from Republican Activist Groups as well. The Audited Ballots were copied and sent to Logan in Montana.

GOP Officials, from Maricopa County, have repeatedly Rejected the Claims that the Election was Fraudulent. Jack Sellers, a Republican who Chairs the County's Board of Supervisors, described the Audit as an "adventure in never-never land" in a Statement earlier this month. "It is now August of 2021. The election of November 2020 is over," Sellers said at the time. "If you haven't figured out that the election in Maricopa County was free, fair, and accurate yet, I'm not sure you ever will."

Last week, Stephen Richer, a Republican who serves as Maricopa's County Recorder, released a 38-page Letter to fellow Republicans slamming the Audit and explaining its many Flaws. "More than any moral code, philosophical agenda, interest group, or even team red vs. team blue, many politicians will simply do whatever it takes to stay in office," Richer wrote. "Right now, a lot of Republican politicians have their fingers in the wind and think that conforming to Stop the Steal, or at least staying quiet about it, is necessary for reelection in their ruby red districts or a statewide Republican primary. So that's what they'll do. Multiple elected or hoping-to-be-elected Republicans have told me this explicitly," he added. "It's disgusting."

Karen Fann (R), the President of the Arizona State Senate, has repeatedly pushed back against the Criticism and argued that the ASudit is necessary to ensure Trust in the State's Elections.

Richer argued in his recent Letter that the Process had done precisely the Opposite, however. "The Ninja audit is an abomination that has so far eroded election confidence and defamed good people," he wrote.

Maricopa County previously Conducted a Hand Recount of 47,000 Ballots following the Election. That Process was carried out by Appointees from the Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian Parties. The Hand Count matched the Machine Count 100%.
