PHOENIX Arizonans are entitled to see the policies and procedures being used in the Senate s audit of the 2020 election returns, a judge has ruled.
At a hearing Wednesday, attorney Kory Langhofer who represents the Senate, argued there are constitutional provisions that protect lawmakers from being sued. He argued these extend to work being done on behalf of the Senate by Cyber Ninjas, the private firm hired by Senate President Karen Fann to conduct the review on the Senate s behalf.
And Langhofer said even if there are questions about the how the audit is being conducted there s no need for judicial intervention.

A new judge was assigned on Monday to oversee a closely watched legal challenge to the GOP-led election audit in Arizona after the judge originally hearing the case withdrew from the case.
The case was reassigned to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel G. Martin hours after Judge Christopher Coury recused himself from the case due to the involvement of an attorney who had worked as an extern in his office within the last five years.
Coury’s recusal came less than 24 hours before a hearing that had been scheduled for Monday morning.
