New Judge to Oversee Challenge to Election Audit in AZ

A New Judge was Assigned to Oversee a Democratic-backed Legal Challenge to the Arizona GOP State Senate-led Election Audit, after the First Judge heard the Case Withdrew himself.

The Case was Reassigned to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge, Daniel Martin, soon after Judge, Christopher Coury, issued an Order, Sunday afternoon, Recusing himself from the Case due to the Involvement of an Attorney who had Worked as an Intern in his Office within the last Five years.

Both Sides get 10 days to tell the New Judge what they think needs to happen next. Meantime, the Private Company Audit continues at Veterans Memorial Coliseum withour Oversite.

Coury's Recusal came after the Court Received Filings, Sunday at 4 p.m., mentioning New Attorneys for the First Time, including Chris Viskovic, who was the Former Intern.

Democrats argued the Audit Violates State Election Security Laws and Sued to Stop the Review One day before it was set to Begin, but Declined to pay a $1 Million Bond set by Coury that would have Enacted a Temporary Pause. The Judge Ordered the auditors to Provide Documents about their Procedures for a Hearing at 11 a.m. Local Time on Monday.

The GOP-led Arizona Senate Hired, Cyber Ninjas, to Lead the Audit Review, which is taking place in Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. They indicated the Prosedures are Proprietary.

Democrats requested an "immediate hearing" after Martin Stepped-In as the Reassigned Judge. A New Hearing is slated for 11 a.m. on Tuesday, per Lawyers on the Case.

On Monday, a Group called the First Amendment Coalition asked the Court to Reject Cyber Ninjas's attempt to Close its Hearing to the Public and Media. The Company has Requested the Hearing be Closed to the Public, arguing in Court Filings it does Not want to Reveal "Trade Secrets," as well as Information Outsiders might use to Harm the Audit.

The State Senate's Audit of the 2020 Contest includes a Recount of the 2.1 Million Ballots Cast in Maricopa County and a Forensic Audit of the Voting Machines.

Although President Biden narrowly carried the State of Arizona in the 2020 Contest, the First Democratic Presidential Candidate to do so since President Bill Clinton in 1996, the State's Electoral Tally was subjected to Multiple Recounts and several Rounds of Litigation, including the Maricopa County Audit.

Democrats have raised Suspicions over the Legitimacy of the Audit due to Past Online Posts from Cyber Ninjas CEO, Doug Logan, who has Reportedly been an Active Promoter of the "Stop the Steal" Movement.
