BREAKING: An Arizona judge has ordered Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan to appear for a deposition scheduled for Jan. 27 in our lawsuit for election “audit” records.
americanoversight.org/arizona-judge-… ImageImage
The judge also ordered Cyber Ninjas and Logan to pay $1,000 as a penalty for Logan’s failure to show up earlier this month for a scheduled deposition.

The order warned that failure to appear on Jan. 27 could result in sanctions and potentially a civil arrest warrant.
This comes amid increasing concerns that Logan and Cyber Ninjas may be failing to preserve records from the partisan review. The Arizona Senate is legally obligated to preserve records from the “audit,” including those held by its contractor, Cyber Ninjas.

NEW: We’re suing Fulton County, Pa., for key records related to its partisan review of the 2020 presidential election.

The county has failed to produce some records in response to our requests, including early communications between the county and state Sen. Doug Mastriano.
Pennsylvanians deserve the truth about this review, and under the state’s Right-to-Know Law, the county is required to produce the records we requested. We tried to work cooperatively with the county, but now we’ve been forced to sue.
americanoversight.org/american-overs…
In December 2020 and February 2021, Fulton County carried out "audits" of the 2020 presidential election with the backing of Sen. Mastriano.

The process was carried out by Wake TSI, a software company with reported ties to former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell.

Trump supporters in seven states submitted phony electoral vote certificates to Congress as part of their effort to overturn the 2020 election results.

We know this because we obtained the fake certificates via FOIA.

Here’s a breakdown of each forged document. THREAD
The fake electoral certificates were assembled by Trump supporters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin who sought to replace valid presidential electors with bogus slates of pro-Trump electors.

The documents also show the names and signatures of the individuals who supported the effort to overturn the will of the people in their state. Most of the certificates contain no indication that they list illegitimate slates of electors not chosen by those states' voters.

It’s been 20+ months since the Trump White House scrapped a plan to send five masks to every American household.
americanoversight.org/new-post-offic…
In 2020, we obtained a draft press release from the U.S. Postal Service announcing an initiative to mail face masks to every household. The @washingtonpost determined that the Trump White House canceled the plan.
washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020…
Emails we obtained also revealed that during early confusion about face coverings in spring 2020, the Trump White House omitted a line about wearing masks from postcards sent to U.S. households.

Texas is conducting an “audit” of the 2020 election results in four counties.

To investigate, we sent public records requests to the Texas secretary of state and governor for emails and texts with pro-”audit” activists and allies of Donald Trump.
americanoversight.org/document/recor…
We’ve asked for their communications with some of the biggest proponents of the Big Lie, including Christina Bobb of One America News Network, Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, and attorney John Eastman.
Documents we’ve previously obtained via public records requests and litigation have shown activists from across the country working together to push election-undermining efforts in other states. We want to know if this is also the case in Texas. americanoversight.org/from-voter-fra…

A Trump appointee at the State Department was investigated for allegedly vetting State employees for “disloyalty.”

We obtained emails written by former appointee Mari Stull that provide compelling examples of this behavior.
cnn.com/2019/01/15/pol… Image
In 2018, Stull emailed a White House official about a candidate for a UNICEF job and made it clear she thought he should not be considered because he was not sufficiently loyal to former President Donald Trump:
“He is a long-time State Department employee - who served Hillary Clinton [redacted]. The UNICEF slot is an influential position that would be well served by a like-minded, proven supporter of the President.” Image
