AZ Voting Data Was Secretly Moved To MONTANA For Review

Snip
The material secretly taken out of Arizona to an undisclosed location is from Maricopa County, which just happens to have gone for Biden over Trump in November. The Republicans' recklessness with the data is just breathtaking. It's almost as if they want it destroyed.
Ben Cotton, founder of tech firm CyFIR, a Senate subcontractor, made copies of the county's election server and other election data and then drove the copies to a "secure lab" in Montana, according to Senate liaison Ken Bennett. The Senate was given county voters' private information, but Bennett said he doesn't know if Cotton has copies of that in Montana.
It appears that the "secure lab" might be a home owned by Cotton in the northern Montana wilderness. Bennett said he didn't know, and Cotton and Cyber Ninjas, the Senate's main contractors, refuse to answer questions.
Theres a lot more that Senate liaison Ken Bennett doesnt know and doesnt seem to want to know. According to Arizona Republic reporter Jen Fifeld, Bennett also doesnt know what steps are being taken to keep the data secure, how it is being stored, whether CyFIR is keeping copies of the data or who has access. One thing Bennett does know is that no one representing the Arizona Senate is overseeing CyFIRs review in Montana.

This is Private Voting Data - or it WAS.

(60,076 posts)It will be sent for further verification to the Mike Lindell Institute for Election Verification in Minnesota. Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton have all introduced Senate resolutions to certify the results of the Lindell verification, even though none of them them were able to say they know for sure if the Lindell Institute exists or not.

(8,984 posts)It's actually an extensive data mining operation. It will give the Republicans a very complete, in-depth picture of who voted, who they voted for, and where each vote was cast, with an eye to targeting voters in a number of ways. None of which are conducive to a free, open, and fair election.
No good can come from this, unless you are a Republican. It's the perfect accompaniment to gerrymandering and voter suppression.
It's a trifecta of election control.
Also, the release of all that information to a company, who is doing no one knows what with it, is probably illegal at both the state and federal level.
This shit has got to stop!
