The Arizona Supreme Court has issued an opinion on a lawsuit concerning whether the state Senate has the authority to withhold 2020 election audit records from the public.
concerning whether the state Senate has the authority to withhold 2020 election audit records from the public.
American Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group, filed the lawsuit last year to get access to about 1,000 records sent between Republican Senate President Karen Fann and Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based group that conducted the audit.The appeals court ruled last month that legislative privilege does not broadly protect the records. It upheld a lower court’s narrow view of the legislative privilege, rejecting arguments by lawyers for the Republican-controlled Senate.
They argue that the public has a clear right to know how the Senate and its contractors conducted the election review. The Senate’s contractors recounted 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots by hand amid claims by some Republicans that former Presidentwon the election and discovered no major issues.The rulings and the Supreme Court case covered just the American Oversight public records lawsuit. The high court declined to combine the two cases for purposes of its review.
