ABC15: “Cyber Ninjas, the Florida company hired by Arizona Senate Republicans to conduct the controversial recount of 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots from November’s presidential and senate races, tried to keep its auditing procedures shielded from public view. In response to media requests, a Maricopa Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that the company must disclose its audit procedures. Attorneys on the case tell ABC15 that lawyers from both sides agreed to let Cyber Ninjas keep its security plans under wraps. This evening however, it was included in a public filing along with several other policies and procedures being used to maintain the integrity of the ballots. Those documents filed accidentally with the Maricopa County Clerk of Court describe scenarios for potential attacks on the auditing facility by ‘Antifa’ or militias.”

“One major component of the plan is a threat assessment of security vulnerabilities at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, where the audit is being conducted, and surrounding areas, including streets. Planners laid out scenarios that could disrupt the ballot-counting process. Antifa is referred to by name. It says they ‘will likely use the backed-up traffic in those six lanes to slow police and fire response to any perimeter breach operation: Any ad-hoc or opportunistic incendiary attack.’ It is also determined that there was a ‘greater threat of militia activity than antifa activity.’ In some areas surrounding the coliseum, but that the ‘probability and likelihood are low.’ The security plan also lays out specific plans and positions for security personnel at the Coliseum, which includes private security company to monitor of the interior of the building for 24 hours a day, seven days a week while the ballots are present. No such disruptions have occurred during the recount.”
