    Arizona Republicans finally backing away from Cyber Ninjas and its dubious election "audit"
    Republican talk-show host calls audit "very biased"; friends of Cyber Ninjas founder say he's in MyPillow land

    The Republican-led Arizona election "audit," which recently has inspired a new echo in Montana, now faces opposition from a conservative talk radio who initially backed the effort and also fresh turmoil surrounding Cyber Ninjas, the previously unknown firm hired to carry out the audit.

    With the audit entering its final days, conservative talk-show host Mike Broomhead told CNN anchor Pamela Brown over the weekend that his position on the audit had changed in recent weeks because Republicans had let the procedure become "biased" and overtly partisan in nature.

    "I just think that they lost focus on being fair and unbiased," he stated on CNN. "I think they have allowed it to turn into a very biased audit, where they are speaking only to the people that already believed ahead of time that the election was stolen, and they haven't really produced any evidence to the contrary."

    Broomhead had not initially argued that the election was stolen, but said he thought the audit would be a worthwhile measure to ensure confidence in the electoral process.

    "This is not about politics for me," he told The Arizona Republic in mid-June. "It's not about right and left. It's about right and wrong. I'm an Arizonan, and I'm an American before I'm a Republican, but I'm proud of all three. I don't see the direction this audit is going as doing the state of Arizona or the country any good anymore. The goal of a transparent and unbiased audit is gone. You've either got to fix it or end it."

    But it's not only Broomhead who is speaking out against his fellow Republicans.

    On Monday evening, Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer, a Republican, ripped into the never-ending audit in his county, the state's major population center. "Let's be honest, this Arizona audit isn't going to convince anyone outside of the crowd that already believes the election was stolen," he told CNN host Anderson Cooper. "We think that the Arizona Senate boarded this train without knowledge of where it was going, and I don't think it's going to a good place."

    While the slow-moving audit has generated intense coverage from right-wing media, no evidence has been produced that challenge the official and certified result, which was that Joe Biden won Arizona by roughly 10,500 votes.

    Judges across the country have tossed out cases alleging widespread election fraud, which has not deterred Trump acolytes like former 2016 campaign head Steve Bannon from pushing for a "freight train" of nationwide Republican audits.

    While the Arizona audit is pushing onward and Trump allies pushing for audits in other states, the firm tapped to lead the audit, Cyber Ninjas — headed by fervent Trump supporter Doug Logan — is now under increased scrutiny.

    According to a CNN report last week, friends and acquaintances of Logan describe him as increasingly sounding like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has made increasingly wild allegations of a widespread voter-fraud conspiracy.

    "It's hard to say anything bad about the guy. He's a lovely person. He's just nuts now," said Tony Summerlin, who has been friends with Logan for 15 years, and said he helped him win a cybersecurity contract with the Federal Communications Commission five years ago. "It's scary; because if someone like him can turn into this, who can't turn into this?"

    Summerlin said that in all the years he'd known Logan, before the Arizona audit, "we never, never had a single political conversation; that's what stunned me about this. ... He said, 'there's definitely something there.' I said, 'based on what?' He said, 'it'll come.' I said, 'you sound like the My Pillow guy.'"

    Another friend of Logan, who asked not to be named because she works with both Republicans and Democrats in Washington, DC, and feared blowback from being linked to him, described him as very smart, very competent in cybersecurity, and politically naïve. "Doug may not have thought it all the way through," she said.


    Cyber Ninjas now appears to be running with a skeleton staff. CNN reports that most of the company's listed phone lines, including those supposedly dedicated to "purchasing" and "human resources," redirect to Logan's phone.

    Cyber Ninjas did not return Salon's request for comment on this story.

    The cult following of Trump are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

    Seriously, had Trump handed out thousands of cups of Kool-Aid that was laced with Cyanide...they would have eagerly drank it down even as their friends around them were collapsing to the ground.

    A failed insurrection carried out by idiot incompetent Trump supporters is still an insurrection.

    The majority of U.S. citizens translate the message on those red hats as "Look at me. I'm an Idiot!" In the meantime, "The Orange One" is monetizing this message and taking the proceeds to the bank.

    Let This Play Out (sarcasm)...

    52 ballots from a single address that could be for Trump or Biden considering Ken Bennett never mentions which candidate received 52 ballots from a single address nor does he provide any proof (verification)...he just wants to get the info out about the anomalies right now while stating...
    • “There’s going to be a few to several weeks of that type of investigation, and then there will probably be a few to several weeks of putting the whole report together,” he added. “The report’s going to be massive.”
    Widespread voter fraud that would have swung the elections for the other guy. :D :rolleyes:

    I recommend he contact Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) whom announced that he'd be willing to pay up to $1 million dollars as a reward to those who could produce proof of voter fraud.
    But now there's a related problem: Patrick's counterpart (then Pennsylvania's John Fetterman (D) came calling from Pennsylvania. He has uncovered real-world evidence of Trump voters committing fraud, and he wants the Texan to pay up. The Houston Chronicle reported:

    All John Fetterman wants for Christmas is the $3 million he says Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick owes him. The Democratic lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania has been trolling his Republican counterpart for weeks to collect on the $1 million Patrick offered in November for evidence of fraud in the Nov. 3 election. Three supporters of President Donald Trump have now been charged in separate voter fraud schemes in Pennsylvania. Fetterman says they should all count for bounty purposes. :D


    Anybody know if John Fetterman was sent his reward money ?

    By the way, @Buy1Sell2 has been hanging out in the Political threads lately while at the same time continuing his message of telling others that don't agree with him to Let This Play Out when in reality he doesn't want an opposing opinion about the Arizona Circus Show Audit.

    Simply, as long as the Circus Show continues and as long as the gullible continue defending it while saying Let This Play Out...they're just bad clowns like the Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R).

    That is just the tip of the iceberg. The reason ET trolls hate Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy is because he has the data on the numerous ways the Democrats cheat and it involves, thousands of votes. This is not an isolated case. Arizona audit must continue till it ends. Democrats still hard at work trying to stop the Arizona audit and other audits in other states. Why?

    smallfil the Troll,

    I don't think they're trying to stop the Arizona Audit considering there has already been a few audits before the current circus show audit.
    • In contrast, they're trying to put policies in place to counter the disenfranchisement laws that are aimed at the Urban cities and ethnic communities that are the growing force of the Democrat voters.
    Statistically, we all know the facts, Democrats have a high probability of winning elections when there's a high voter turnout. 2020 was a record breaking year (due to the Pandemic and social unrest) for both Republicans and Democrats but more so for Democrats considering they didn't show up to the polls in 2016.

    In contrast, Trump was telling his support early in the Pandemic that there was going to be fraud when he saw his polls dramatically decline from already bad to very bad. Simply, he spent much of his energy in arousing the gullible and uneducated voter like some wannabe dictator...
    • Instead of worrying about the old guy that understood the power of the Urban voters, Ethnic communities and college educated voters.
    You should read the media...Democrats and some Republicans plus the media have been making fun and laughing at the Arizona Audit.

    Many states are monitoring this Audit very closely to learn many lessons of what not to do including the few that plan to do an audit because they do not want to be an embarrassment like Arizona. :D

    Much of the BIG LIE is being pushed by Qanon believers, soon to be indicted sex trafficking people (e.g. Gaetz), sore losers, gullible, people that truly believe the insurrection was like people on a leisure tour of the Capitol building (nothing happen) and people fearing the growing political power of the Ethnic communities and the Urban voters.
    • In its simplest terms...its an attack on Democracy.
    Last of all, wake up...its the reality of America. If you can't deal with it...get the hell out and go find a country that will cater to your bullshit.
