The private companies hired by Arizona Senate Republicans to recount millions of ballots from the 2020 election are concerned about possible Antifa attacks and planned to use UV lights to hunt for fraud, internal documents released as part of a legal battle with Democrats revealed.

State Senate Republicans and the firms also initially sought National Guard protection for their review of Maricopa County ballots but were turned down by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey, according to one of the documents, released by the Maricopa Superior Court over GOP objections Thursday.

The documents offer a detailed look at the conspiratorial thinking behind an extraordinary, partisan hunt for fraud some six months after former President Donald Trump lost the election and began pushing the lie that it was stolen from him.

“It would be comical if it weren't so scary,” Rick Hasen, an election law expert and professor at the University of California, Irvine, said of the audit.

Republicans and the private companies, lead by Florida-based cybersecurity firm Cyber Ninjas, have fought for the last week in state court to keep details of the so-called audit secret. Incensed Democrats, who say the count is yet another attempt to undermine President Joe Biden's 2020 win, sued last week in a last-ditch effort to block the audit from going forward, arguing that the private firms were not properly protecting voter privacy and the secrecy of ballots. The court has so far declined to end the audit, which began last Friday, but has ordered the release of more information.

1. UV lights?

What about Clorox?

2. Heck, they're checking for watermarks on ballots that never had watermarks to begin with.
