Democrats are finally paying attention to Trump's Arizona audit: House opens probe into Cyber Ninjas

"Cyber Ninja" Arizona "audit" company under probe by House Oversight Committee over "mismanagement"

In a Wednesday letter, Democratic Reps. Carolyn Maloney, the committee chair, and Rep. Jamie Raskin requested documents and communications from Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan stemming from the company's invasive audit that rendered voting machines useless in the state. The letter cites Logan over his firm's "lack of election audit experience," their "reported mismanagement of the audit in Maricopa County," and the CEO's "own bias and history of embracing conspiracy theories related to the election."

"The Committee is seeking to determine whether the privately funded audit conducted by your company in Arizona protects the right to vote or is instead an effort to promote baseless conspiracy theories, undermine confidence in America's elections, and reverse the result of a free and fair election for partisan gain," Maloney and Raskin outlined in the nine-page letter. "The Committee is particularly concerned that your company's actions could undermine the integrity of federal elections and interfere with Americans' constitutional right to cast their ballot freely and to have their votes counted without partisan interference."

The House committee has set a July 28th deadline for Logan and his Cyber Ninja technology firm to turn over the requested documents. Numerous Salon requests for comment to Logan and the digital security firm on if they plan to cooperate with the demands to turn over documents went un-retuned.


In late June, a series of Republicans in the state began backing away from the audit. Conservative talk-show host Mike Broomhead told CNN anchor Pamela Brown the GOP-led audit had "lost focus on being fair and unbiased." Republican Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer remarked, "The Arizona Senate boarded this train without knowledge of where it was going, and I don't think it's going to a good place."

1. Perhaps I'm just pessimistic

but I don’t expect much cooperation from the cyber clowns. The House committee would be lucky to get dumb looks from them.

4. Not cooperating generates the next question: "What are you hiding?" The GOP will rue ...

...their mistake, and very soon.

2. Stephen Richer's remark is 100% spot-on and I think

it can be applied to the entire Republican party, Donald Trump and Trumpism.

They didn't bother to thoroughly check into Trump's past or just ignored it and listened to his bluster. After Trump lost the election, they swallowed the Big Lie and continued to do so to this day. The audit is taking forever because they ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING THEY CAN USE and will have to admit that this "audit" is nothing but a big lie and a huge waste of time and money. Not to mention compromising the integrity and security of voting machines and the electoral process.

3. It wasn't a real audit but

a practice run at how to steal an election.

5. And they bolloxed it from day one.
