Just for fun, I decided to dip into the One America News Network’s EXCLUSIVE (!) COVERAGE of the farce currently underway in Arizona. Their live stream consists of several cameras showing the huge arena and people wandering around between work stations. (There s much more action on the live polar bear cams from Churchill in Canada.) There is no sign of the Cyber Ninjas, who allegedly are “protecting” this ridiculous exercise but, then again, they are Ninjas, trained in the dark arts of invisibility, so who knows? They might be everywhere.
In case you’re wondering what the EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE (!) is producing, it s pretty much what you’d expect.

This is the first part of a commentary by veteran organizer Max Elbaum on the strategy and tactics needed now.
Sun Tzu’s famous dictum about how to prevail in war applies to politics too. We have to know our enemy and know ourselves.
Republicans in Arizona still smarting after Joe Biden’s win there have hired a little-known cybersecurity consultancy to perform an election ‘audit’ in the state’s most populous county, according to reports.
Florida-based Cyber Ninjas has no previous experience in managing election recounts and is run by a man who has shared conspiracy theories online about the supposed illegitimacy of the US election results last November, according to
The report cited Doug Logan as claiming his personal views are irrelevant because the audit itself will be run transparently via streamed video. However, journalists are reportedly banned from observing the count, and there are question marks over who the financial backers of the project are.

Months after former President
Donald Trump’s election defeat, legislative Republicans in Arizona are challenging the outcome as they embark on an unprecedented effort to audit the results in the state’s most populous county.
The state Senate used its subpoena power to take possession of all 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa County and the machines that counted them, along with computer hard drives full of data. They’ve handed the materials over to Cyber Ninjas, a
Sarasota-based consultancy with no election experience run by a man who has shared unfounded conspiracy theories claiming the official 2020 presidential election results are illegitimate.
