Judge will not block Arizona Senate’s 2020 election recount (KYMA, KECY/ AP News) - Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin decided Wednesday that the Republican-led audit of ballots from the 2020 Presidential election will continue. After suing to block the audit, Democrats pushed for the audit to be blocked completely. Yet, the decision still turned out to be a win and a loss for Democrats because allowing the audit to continue comes with some conditions. The private company, Cyber Ninjas, hired by the Republican-led State Senate must make its procedures public in order to guarantee the privacy of voters and the secrecy of their choices.
