There's been a lot going on lately in our lawsuit for Arizona “audit” records, and even more coming up this week. Here’s a quick rundown of the recent highlights and things to watch:

First, an Arizona judge ordered Cyber Ninjas, the lead “audit” contractor, & its CEO Doug Logan to answer our questions under oath about the failure to turn over records. The court warned that if Logan fails to appear, he could face a civil arrest warrant.

Second, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled last week that the state Senate must immediately turn over more than 1,000 documents related to the “audit” that don’t fall under a narrowly defined framework of legislative privilege.

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 was 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.

And third, also last week, the court consolidated our lawsuit with a separate one brought by @azcentral. There’s a hearing on Tuesday afternoon this week to address how the cases will move forward.
