GOP mantra, apparently: If at first you don't succeed, hide it all from the public

Maybe we should just demand that our ballots be returned, and returned undamaged.


After all, they're ours, and the AZLege and its contractors/employees are supposed to represent us, right?


Apparently, my idealism is running wild tonight. :)

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann's Attorney: The Public Has No Right To Know Who's Paying For The Maricopa County Ballot Audit


On Wednesday, the attorney for Senate President Karen Fann told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp that the public has no right to know who is paying for the audit of the 2020 election the Senate is conducting.

However, Kemp questioned the attorney’s arguments. 

"Isn't the public entitled to know who is paying for this, what President Fann referred to as [a] constitutional and legislative function, this important constitutional duty? Isn't the public entitled to know who's paying for this?" Kemp said.


The attorney for Fann is Kory Langhofer, an R fixer of long standing, and he's the kind of lawyer that gives other lawyers a bad name.

Haven't the ballots been returned? Are they stashed in a secret ninja hideaway even now being tortured by soy sauce slowly being dripped over the pallets?
