The auditor hired to conduct a full forensic recount of Arizona’s Maricopa County election in 2020 anticipated a possible attack by “antifa” in documents a judge ordered to be unsealed.

Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, the company Arizona Senate Republicans hired to conduct a recount of 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots from the 2020 election, tried to keep its auditing procedures shielded from public view, according to the firm’s attorneys, who claimed the documents were under seal because they contained “trade secrets.”
