As reported by The Washington Post<\/a>:<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARIZONA SENATE President Karen Fann (R) says she is determined to \u201censure the integrity of the vote\u201d in her state. Which is supposedly why, five months after Election Day, following multiple credible audits that found no hint of substantial fraud, she insists that the state Senate must conduct yet another audit, re-scanning and hand-counting every ballot cast in Phoenix\u2019s Maricopa County, as well as digging into electronic election systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be a big job for even the most experienced election official or voting company, never mind state legislators. So Ms. Fann and her Senate colleagues tapped Cyber Ninjas<\/a>, a little-known Florida cybersecurity firm that boasts that it provides \u201cgeneral consulting\u201d and \u201cethical hacking\u201d services, to lead the audit. Arizona journalists quickly<\/a> discovered one possible reason<\/a> for this puzzling choice: Cyber Ninjas founder Doug Logan appears to have pushed pro-Trump election conspiracy theories on a Twitter account he apparently deleted in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe parallels between the statistical analysis of Venezuela and this year\u2019s election are astonishing,\u201d one tweet read, which included the hashtag #StopTheSteal. \u201cI\u2019m tired of hearing people say there was no fraud. It happened, it\u2019s real, and people better get wise fast,\u201d read a tweet Mr. Logan apparently retweeted in December. He was also involved in a lawsuit<\/a> claiming election fraud in Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis firm\u2019s CEO not only harbors conspiratorial beliefs about the 2020\u00a0election, but has shared conspiracies about Dominion election equipment, the exact equipment he has been hired to audit,\u201d Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D)\u00a0objected<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDominion supports all forensic audits conducted by independent, federally accredited Voting System Test Labs \u2014 but this is not that,\u201d said a spokesperson for Dominion Voting Systems, the target of much pro-Trump election conspiracy theorizing. \u201cOver a thousand independent audits and recounts have taken place across the country since Election Day, and they all demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of our voting systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
