Report: Observers Of GOP’s Sketchy Arizona Election Audit Required To Sign NDAs

That alone is grounds for total disqualification for consideration of their “results”.

Don’t pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.

Can someone (perhaps on the ground in Arizona) explain why the [supposedly impartial] judge(s) have not yet put a stop to this farce?

So, not only do the reactionaries want to control who recounts the vote, they also want to control whoever witnesses it.
Totally transparent, until you get to the part the reactionaries want to make opaque: the actual process of counting.
What could be untrustworthy about that?

I blame the GOP’s love of NDAs on Who?

So much sunlight needed to burn out this disgusting cancerous growth.

The entire phony recount is intended to mollify Trump and the hardcore dishonest and unpatriotic scum who run the party. It won’t have any relevance to anyone else, other than as yet another black mark on the credibility of the GQP and, sadly, as bait to violent nuts to try another putsch.

The NDA requirement seems about as reasonable as the AZ Republican legislature requiring the “audit” (after counts, recounts, and certification by the Republican governor), the pro-Trump group called Cyber Ninjas conducting it, the process by which it’s being done, and the totally fabricated reasons for the entire thing.

Cyber Ninjas has fought in court to keep information about the audit private. A judge’s order last week forced the company to produce documents outlining its policies and practices for the review.

I’d love to see how the NDA defines Confidential Information.

The State of Arizona has kicked in $$. Can an NDA be enforced?

“I agree that unless I am authorized in writing by Cyber Ninjas, Inc. and the Arizona State Senate,

Which makes the state a party to the NDA, which in turn seems to invite a 1st Amendment challenge.

Do they really need all this absurdity to get to the official result saying, “The orange guy totally won, and we totally want to release the evidence but we can’t because it would cause dangerous Antifa riots”?
