Some personal ANALYSIS of today's hearing and where we're at. (From a post-hearing interview with
@NicoleValdesTV):
"I don’t see either Judge Martin or the AZ Supreme Court shutting down the Senate/Ninjas audit/recount at this point. The unfortunate origin... 1/4
...of this legal dispute is that this audit is extra-legal – we never anticipated this kind of post-election game. So, the State Senate – the body that passes the election integrity laws we already have in place – did not lay down any procedures ----let alone laws ---- to...
2/4
...to be followed by the Cyber Ninjas.

That problem was exacerbated because @maricopacounty, @SecretaryHobbs, @azdemparty & even the media kept WAITING for procedures to become public. So, they didn't go to the courts...
3/4
...until the last possible minute.

That has put the judges in a difficult position where they have to navigate a minefield while not stepping on another branch of government.

Completely avoidable minefield set up by the State Senate (Republicans)."

NUTSHELL:
1. There is no court order currently hanging over the audit. (Which doesn't mean they should go haywire, natch.)
2. Hearing tomorrow at 10:30 on whether to put an order back in place.
3. No change in media/public access. First Amdmt Coalition is now in case, but...
...for limited purpose of fighting Cyber Ninjas efforts to file their procedures under seal.
4. @SecretaryHobbs also in, Staci Burks out. (Libertarians want to file amicus brief.)
5. (you fill in what you feel belongs here)

While we're waiting, I'm happy to announce that we were able to help convince the Superior Court to treat this as a "high profile" case. That means the court filings will be publicly available much more quickly and online.
