The Maricopa County Audit Will Go On.
The news out of Arizona is that the Maricopa County audit will go on.
GOP Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward tweeted this out moments ago.
For the record — TRO means temporary restraining order
After 90+ minutes of AZ Court proceedings regarding the #FullForensicAudit – take aways: audit procedures may be made public, NO TRO, & Dems using false fear-mongering failed to convince the judge. #AmericasAudit continues! Video update later today via @azgop – tune in! pic.twitter.com/rCmlsUZPJ4

First issue whether Cyber Ninjas have to publicly disclose their policies and procedures. Second issue is going to be the injunction. Also, the substitution of counsel request. – TR

Wolff had filed an emergency motion to delay hearing today. Wolff claims he is not prepared to proceed. Court asks Kolodin how to proceed? Emergency motion for delay denied. Wolff and Kolodin have to decide how to proceed now…. – TR

Judge Martin now allows Wilenchik’s Wolff to sub in, but denies the emer motion to continue. Wolff will have to handle it the best that he can.

Request ex parte denied. Motion to withdraw/substitution of counsel granted. Motion to continue hearing denied. Wolff will have to proceed. In the words of Homer Simpson DOH! – TR

Kory Langhofer is currently arguing for Legislative Privilege/Immunity for the Senate and their agent performing the audit. He is claiming legislators received thousands of calls from constituents concerning the 2020 General Election. -KC

Folks, if you are watching the live stream, it may be frozen – Kory Langhofer is currently arguing. We will update when they change speakers, because at this point we’ve watched so much 2020 election litigation, we know which voice goes with which attorney. – KC

Gaona: “Cyber Ninjas are certainly acting under color of state law and they are being paid by taxpayers.”–PW

Barr (First Amdmt Coalition): Cyber Ninjas has provided no facts/affidavits/etc to back up their claim that they are trade secrets that should be under seal. Circular argument: “Because they says its so.”
(That’s what Ninjas do, Dan!)
–PW— “AZ Law” (@arizonaslaw) April 28, 2021
Barr argues that the CN don’t make a strong enough argument to seal their procedures. “I find it fantastic to believe there is legislative privilege involved in the security of the ballots or election machines.” So do I. -KC
