Oh phuck, you're right.

No need to keep going with the "audit", The Spork has already declared VICTORY! Based on Steve Bannon's say-so at Pandemic War Room. And this is all they are looking for, to somehow, some way, confirm this bogus slide.

These clowns haven't been so excited since the DURHAM REPORT and OPERATION BOOMERANG! And that worked out so well for them.

How do they figure out all those address/duplicate/past-deadline issues from looking at anonymous ballots?

Easy, they all voted for Joe.

Jim Hoft at the Gateway House of Boys is OUTRAGED! But he's confused (or lying or was busy training a new, um, journalist).
1. Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is GOP controlled.
2. The attorney, Chris Viskovic, that made the judge recuse himself is a Trumper lawyer already has pending bar complaints from prior frivolous election lawsuits. I guess he wants another bar complaint.
3. Viskovic is a junior associate at Cyber Ninja's lawfirm. Sounds like deep, deep Democratic cover.

BREAKING: Arizona Judge Recuses Himself From Election Audit Case To Be Settled in the Morning After Democrats Shop Around and Hire New Attorney Who Previously Interned for Judge
By Joe Hoft
Published April 25, 2021 at 9:07pm

Remember with Democrats it’s always about power and they will do anything to obtain and keep it.

This evening in Arizona, the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge, Christopher Coury, who oversaw the case related to the Democrats’ challenge to the audit currently going on in the county, recused himself from the case. The reason is that the Democrats shopped around and found an attorney who interned with Judge Coury and hired him. When the new attorney was introduced today for the first time the Judge was forced to resign from the case.

Judge Coury reported that a new attorney announced today in the case, Chris Viskovic, used to intern for him so he recused himself from the case.

On Thursday the Democrats filed their suit just as the audit was scheduled to begin. This isn’t the first suit Maricopa County Board of Supervisors raised in an attempt to stop the audit. This last-minute case was heard by Judge Coury on Friday. He ordered that the audit be stopped until Monday but when the Democrats wouldn’t post a bond for $1 million, he then ordered that the audit could continue.

After Judge Coury ordered the halt to the audit and before the Democrats responded to his mandate of putting the $1 million bond down, the Arizona Senate took their case to the Arizona Supreme Court. But then Judge Coury ordered the audit could continue because the Democrats refused to pay the $1 million bond.

The Supreme Court Judge Bolick took the Republicans’ grievance and agreed with Judge Coury’s actions and set up Tuesday for the deadline for the Republicans to lay out their grievances about the Democrats’ last-minute effort to stop the audit. He ordered the Democrats to respond by Wednesday to document the Republicans file on Tuesday, and then he offered the Republicans Thursday to respond to the Democrats’ response.

Too f-in funny. Judge found his "escape-hatch". I'm sure he's sleeping well tonight.

Asked Brahm for the cover page to show the Telegram idiots that it wasn't the evil Democrats who filed the appearance today. He was nice enough to post it.

Here's the BS that kicked the recusal off:

Cyber Ninjas, hired by Arizona Senate to recount Maricopa County's ballots, asks court to keep its procedures secret
Andrew Oxford Arizona Republic

Lawyers for Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based company the Arizona Senate hired to lead a recount of Maricopa County’s 2.1 million general election ballots, are asking a judge to keep secret its procedures for the recount and shut out the public as well as the press from a hearing in which the documents might be discussed. Judge Christopher Coury asked the company on Friday to turn over its plans and procedures amid concerns about the security of the county's ballots and voter privacy.

But the company argued on Sunday that filing the documents in court publicly would compromise the security of its recount. And it argued that the records include protected trade secrets. The company also maintained that the documents are protected by legislative privilege, as it is working on behalf of the state Senate. The push to keep details of the recount process under wraps comes as part of a lawsuit that the Arizona Democratic Party and County Supervisor Steve Gallardo filed against the state Senate to stop the recount altogether, contending it violates various state election laws.

The prospect that a court might block voters from seeing how their ballots will be handled during the unprecedented undertaking adds to mounting concerns about its transparency, given that its funders remain a mystery and news briefings were immediately placed on an indefinite hiatus. The lawsuit took another turn Sunday evening when Coury recused himself from the case, noting a lawyer who had recently signed on to represent Cyber Ninjas had worked in his office within the past few years. Coury previously had scheduled a hearing on the case for Monday morning, but it will have to be reassigned to another Maricopa County Superior Court judge.

Coury ordered, during a hearing on Friday — the first day of the recount — that the process follow all state laws. He even left open the option of stopping the recount until Monday if the Democratic Party could post a $1 million bond to cover any potential costs from the delay. Responding specifically to information brought to light by an Arizona Republic reporter, he also ordered that all black and blue pens be removed from the facility. The state's election procedures manual expressly prohibits the use of black or blue pens in areas where hand count audits are conducted because voters use those colors to mark their ballots. Election workers typically use red ink to safeguard against ballot tampering. But The Republic reporter noted that workers were equipped with blue pens before ballots were brought on the floor and officials seemed unaware that it was a problem.

The Democratic Party opted not to post the bond but is still seeking a stop to the recount, contending there are not adequate policies or procedures in place to protect the county’s ballots or voter privacy. "This is a simple case that asks for simple relief: that agents of the Arizona Senate who purport to be conducting an ‘audit’ of Maricopa County’s election results follow state law and ensure the safety and security of ballots, voting equipment, and voters’ personal information," attorney Roopali Desai wrote in a filing Sunday. Raising concerns about security, lawyers for the party have pointed to reports by journalists that they have entered unimpeded the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where Maricopa County's ballots are now stored. The party’s lawyers also provided the court with a letter Senate President Karen Fann sent to the Maricopa County sheriff as recently as Tuesday asking that he provide deputies to secure the coliseum. Fann wrote that while the Senate hired some security, it “does not have all the security capability to protect the election equipment and ballots on its own.” The sheriff declined the request, noting the Senate had signed an indemnification agreement and that the coliseum is state property.

Election experts also have raised concerns about the procedures for the recount, typically a complicated, tedious process. And while the public can get a glimpse of the coliseum via a live videostream at azaudit.org, reporters have not been allowed to observe the process — unless working six-hour shifts as observers — and daily news briefings are on hold pending the resolution of the lawsuit. Attorneys for top Senate Republicans, who also are named in the lawsuit, contend the case should be thrown out altogether due to legislative immunity. They maintain lawmakers cannot be sued during the session, pointing to a provision of the state Constitution. "This command is categorical, unqualified and pellucid: members of the Legislature may not be sued while the Legislature is in session. Period," attorney Thomas Basile wrote in a filing on Sunday.

Desai argued legislative immunity is not so broad and would not apply to the four companies working on the recount, such as Cyber Ninjas. “Indeed, the privilege is intended to protect legislators from arrest or legal process that would prevent them from performing their duties during legislative session, so there is no reason it would extend to anyone beyond ‘members,’” she wrote. Either way, the Senate also contends that policies — such as those in the state's election procedures manual — do not apply to the recount because it is undertaken by the Legislature to gather information rather than by election officials to determine the outcome of a vote. And Cyber Ninjas' policies would be protected as trade secrets under the contract it signed with the Senate, the companies' lawyers argued. “Clearly the documents Cyber Ninjas has been ordered to file are Confidential Information for various reasons including that they constitute business information and concepts as well as operational information and records and reflect the know-how of Cyber Ninjas,” Alexander Kolodin, a lawyer for Cyber Ninjas, wrote in a filing on Sunday.

Kolodin added that the company “expects to have similar business opportunities to undertake such work for other governments around the country” and suggested Cyber Ninjas did not want to give information to potential competitors. The flurry of court filings Sunday came ahead of the third day of the recount. The filings also seemed to contradict some of the plans and procedures recount organizers outlined to reporters during a news conference on Thursday. Though Ken Bennett, the Senate’s liaison, told reporters that the process would include verification of the signatures voters included on their ballot envelopes, a lawyer for Cyber Ninjas said in court filings Sunday that signature review is not part of the company’s scope of work.

... since Biden’s narrow win last year.

Trump received 306 electoral votes in 2016 and it was considered by him as a landslide. Biden received 306 electoral votes in 2020 and it is a "narrow win." Go figure.

304 to 227. You forgot about the 2 faithless electors

[Uninformed]

Highly impressive website at cyberninjas.com . Do they bother to maintain/update it?

Trivia: $98,322 PPP loan for payroll (reportedly from 1 to 10 employees)

[MN-Skeptic]

The new judge is a Democrat . Right wing sites are freaking out. Plus he, at one time, worked for the evil law firm Perkins Coie.



Court hearing rescheduled from today to TOMORROW -

[sugar magnolia]

In an imaginary backroom in my head, the guys running the audit thought it would be a good idea to send that "new guy" in as one of the attorneys because he once worked for the judge, so surely he has some influence on him or can get the inside scoop.

Oooops.

Can't see the AZAudit cams but on this site they work: https://auditwatch.win/

It's a Brady Bunch (9) of cameras. The dead-enders are in a voice chat as of 9pm in the Telegram group again, having no clue what they're talking about. CodeMonkey Z has been in there too. They are watching these cams and talking about what they think they see. What a mess. This is Camera 6.

[Forwarded from A Aeon]
New judge for the Maricopa county audit has past ties with Perkins Coie Law Firm. This indicates Judge Martin has a conflict of interest, especially in light of Marc Elias’ recent involvement. We ask that you excuse judge Martin immediately. Please hold a press conference to disclose this issue. You must act quickly and decisively to preserve the integrity of the AZ audit

CodeMonkeyZ, [26.04.21 20:28]
Why would “auditors” try to sneak a camera onto the audit floor?
If photos of ballots from the audit leak, then there will instantly be calls to shut the audit down.

Ben Giles @ben_giles 4m -- Reporter for @kjzzphoenix

Court is adjourned for today.

Tomorrow at 10:30AM there's another hearing on requests to keep Cyber Ninjas policies/procedures shielded from public view.

Between now and then, Martin may also make a decision regarding a restraining order/injunction halting the audit.


"AZ Law" @arizonaslaw 1m

NUTSHELL:
1. There is no court order currently hanging over the audit. (Which doesn't mean they should go haywire, natch.)
2. Hearing tomorrow at 10:30 on whether to put an order back in place.
3. No change in media/public access. First Amdmt Coalition is now in case, but...for limited purpose of fighting Cyber Ninjas efforts to file their procedures under seal.
4. @SecretaryHobbs also in, Staci Burks out. (Libertarians want to file amicus brief.)
5. (you fill in what you feel belongs here)

Morgan Loew @morganloewcbs5 1m
Excellent job by @DanCBarr and the AZ First Amendment Coalition today, arguing for the rights of journalists - and the public - to know what’s going on with the #ArizonaAudit. The best disinfectant is sunlight.

My Twitter List with around 100 AZ journalists, politicians etc is at https://twitter.com/i/lists/1385864418144268292 and it's public; it has other news as well but most of AZ is following this.

[DrIrvingFinegarten]

So this is basically the Cold Case Posse all over again.

[p0rtia]

Anybody able to find a link for today's hearing?

[Slim Cognito]

I tried but no luck. Usually I can get the best links from twitter but when you search AZ audit, you get mostly nut jobs accusing Democrats of quaking in their boots, terrified our steal is being undone.

Then I spend the next 30 minutes blocking people.
