Judge rejects call for secret election audit hearing from auditors, Senate Republicans
A Wednesday court hearing to determine whether election auditors hired by Arizona Senate Republicans can shield the policies and procedures guiding their work from the public will take place in open court after a judge on Tuesday rejected an attempt by the auditors and Republicans to bar the press and the public from the court.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin ruled that the hearing would be open to the public, despite objections by lawyers representing Senate Republicans and Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based firm hired to lead the audit.
Attorneys representing the auditors argued that policies and procedures largely related to security needed to remain under seal in order to keep “bad actors” from manipulating the hand-recount of the 2020 election that is taking place on the floor of Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Attorney Alexander Kolodin, who is representing Cyber Ninjas, said that the documents contain plans to respond to security incidents and show vulnerabilities of the one-time basketball arena where the nearly 2.1 million ballots are stored.

the hand count. The "bad actors" are the so-called "Cyber Ninjas", an outfit no one has ever heard of before, and have never audited a recount of 7th graders "mock elections", let alone a presidential election that has already been audited (by professionals) twice. Oh, and they want to keep their "methods" top secret.
Nothing funny going on here, is there. 
now all they have to do is reverse engineer some dubious "methods" as to how they arrived at that decision.
