Cyber Ninjas, a company hired by Arizona Republicans to audit the 2020 election ballots in Maricopa County, announced it is shutting down Thursday following a court ruling involving hefty fines.

The Maricopa Superior Court found the Florida company in contempt Thursday. It ordered it to comply with a prior ruling to release material related to a public record request or pay $50,000 a day in fines until it complies.

The Left seems to have more staying power than seems possible.

Meanwhile the fda asks for 50 years in response time for a FOIA request. - and all the data is already loaded on an oracle database. The judge did tell them 8 months…(FOIA dictates a much more timely response)

The court took what appears to be an unusual position that a private company contracted by the government is subject to the Arizona laws that require the government to provide public access to its records.

It would be interesting to see if the same court would order Dominion or some other company doing business with the state to hand over documents regarding the election to any member of the public that files an Arizona open records request.

I'll go ahead and guess that the court will find something different about that situation, and not require the release of the documents.

Some activists in Arizona should file the request to find out.

Unlimited funding from the big lefties that sell their crap to the sheeple. The NFL gave about $250 million to BLM causes for instance... a drop in the bucket.

“Some activists in Arizona should file the request to find out.”

And use this case as precedent.

I wonder if the NFL ever heard from BLM as to what they used the money for. If, on the other hand, they had donated to Saint Jude’s hospital for children, they could find out just how many children were helped by their $250 million.

Well no, the same judge wouldn’t because he’s a *Democrat* non-partisan judge.

Great point #3 free and freezing

That’ll teach anyone to look at vote fraud again!!

They should use on 8th Amendment grounds. $50k a day is surely an “excessive fine”
