PHOENIX — The judge who recently took over the case surrounding the Arizona Senate Republicans' audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election results ruled on Wednesday that the company overseeing the audit cannot hide policies or procedures from members of the public or the media.
The ruling, issued by Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin, rejects the request made by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based company and the lead election auditor, which asked for the public and media be excluded from courtroom proceedings revolving around the case.
