BREAKING: In our lawsuit for records related to the Arizona “audit,” the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that the state Senate must immediately turn over more than 1,000 documents that don’t fall under a narrowly defined framework of legislative privilege.
americanoversight.org/document/ameri…
The court ruled that the Arizona Senate cannot rely on legislative privilege for blanket withholding of documents. Any records they still want to withhold must be submitted for review by a judge who will determine if they need to be released.
This is a significant win in our lawsuit seeking answers about the sham “audit” in Maricopa County. It puts the public one step closer to getting the facts.
Separately, Cyber Ninjas and its CEO Doug Logan have been ordered to answer our questions under oath about their failure to turn over records. The court warned that if Logan fails to appear, he could face a civil arrest warrant.

NEW: A Wisconsin court is ordering Michael Gableman, the attorney leading Wisconsin’s partisan review of the 2020 election, to provide copies of records of the investigation to the court under seal within 10 days. ​​
americanoversight.org/wisconsin-judg…
We have filed open records requests for, and sued to release, documents from Wisconsin’s partisan election inquiry. Gableman’s office has confirmed that it has documents responsive to our requests but is refusing to release them.
Today, the court set a deadline of Jan. 31 for Gableman’s Office of Special Counsel to provide the records to the court, under seal, so that the judge can decide whether they should be released.

Last week, fake Trump electoral certificates we obtained drew renewed scrutiny after @maddow reported on the documents.

Now, several states are considering or have started investigations into the efforts to create the fake certificates. THREAD

Last summer, the federal immigration court in San Francisco started fast-tracking hearings for immigrants whose mail was undeliverable.

Records we obtained show judges celebrated that this process resulted in a high percentage of absentia deportations.
sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
The records, reported on by @TalKopan at the @sfchronicle, also show Judge Daren Margolin, appointed by the Trump administration, greenlighted creating a subset of hearings specifically for immigrants whose mail was undeliverable. They were scheduled for June 15, 2021.
Scott McDaniel, the deputy court administrator at the San Francisco Immigration Court, reported the results of these hearings: 17 of the 21 cases reported in absentia deportations. McDaniel told judges interested in creating a similar process to contact him.

We obtained correspondence between members of the Arizona legislature and a nationwide network of donors, activists, attorneys, and candidates for elected office “whose goal is completing a cyber forensic audit in their state.” Here’s how we’re investigating. ImageImageImage
We uncovered an invitation to an “Election Integrity Call” on July 3. Invitees included prominent supporters of the Big Lie: John Eastman (the lawyer who wrote a memo saying VP Pence could reject Joe Biden’s victory), Mike Flynn, and attorney Lin Wood.

We want to shed light on efforts to conduct unnecessary and partisan “forensic audits” of the Nov. 2020 election. We filed public records requests for the communications of state legislators who were invited to participate in the call with other invitees.

NEW: We obtained new documents that shine a light on Wisconsin officials’ ongoing efforts to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election, including attacks on the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.
americanoversight.org/in-the-documen…
The records contain communications sent to state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, who has falsely claimed that Donald Trump won in Wisconsin in 2020, by Erick Kaardal, the election-denying lawyer whose law firm is leasing office space from Michael Gableman’s partisan investigation.
Other documents include emails received by state Rep. Joe Sanfelippo’s office about how to potentially remove members and staff of the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.
