One of the few with actual election experience has been kicked out of the AZ audit

Apparently Bennett made the grave error of attempting to provide even a sliver of transparency to the process.

"While this work is supposedly being overseen by Senate representatives, many times that oversight is not there," the newspaper noted. "The Cyber Ninjas have for weeks resisted getting outside checks of the audit, insiders say."

Reporter Ryan Randazzo explained why the outside review is threatening.

"The data Bennett provided to outside analysts, Larry Moore and Benny White, showed the results of the ongoing machine count of the ballots tracks very closely with the the county's tally," the newspaper reported. "If that trend continues, it may call into question the results of Cyber Ninja's count, because [Senate President Karen] Fann has said that the Cyber Ninjas' count did not match the county's."

The newspaper reported Cyber Ninjas spokesperson said any decision to ban Bennett was made by Fann's office.

Ballots the machine count shows they are going to have to do the hand count again. No wonder they don't want anyone to know what the machine count shows.

cast negative perception/negative results that don't match reported results in Nov. 2020. Tampering w/ election results I suspect is a crime either at the federal level and/or at the state level too, I suspect.
