“An Arizona judge ordered the state’s Republican-led Senate to produce records related to its audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, delivering a big win for critics of the controversial review. The documents, sought by left-leaning watchdog group American Oversight, are subject to Arizona’s public records statute and must be provided to the organization ‘immediately,’ Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp ruled Monday. American Oversight sued Republican state Senate President Karen Fann in May, listing state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Warren Petersen and the state Senate itself as additional defendants, and invoked the Arizona Public Records Law in search of access to communications and other records between the Senate and its lead audit contractor, Cyber Ninjas” the Washington Examiner reports.
Probably the most entertaining part is that this ruling on Monday went unnoticed probably mostly because it was overshadowed by Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors telling the state senate and their Cyber Ninja squad to fuck off with their subpoena for various records and equipment. Meaning on the same day Arizona Republicans were told to shove it on their bad faith oversight, they were ordered by a court to submit to legitimate oversight. Karma’s a female dog.
