PHOENIX – Secretary of State Adrian Fontes responded today to a recent investigation in the Arizona Republic regarding private communications between former Senate President Karen Fann and Doug Logan, the disgraced CEO of Cyber Ninjas, the company put in charge of an election "audit" of the 2020 Presidential election in Maricopa County.
"It is with great concern and disappointment that I address the recent revelations regarding the irresponsible Cyber Ninjas audit conducted under the leadership of former Senate President Karen Fann. The recent findings surrounding the Cyber Ninjas CEO, Doug Logan, further expose the malpractice and questionable actions associated with this so-called audit that hurt Arizona's democracy and economic prospects.
"As has been reported by the Arizona Republic, recent evidence has come to light revealing private communications between former Senate President Fann and Mr. Logan in February 2021. These private exchanges raise serious questions about the independence and integrity of the audit process. Karen Fann owes it to Arizonans to be forthright about all outstanding information regarding this audit and her role in its execution.
"The Cyber Ninjas fiasco has had the unfortunate effect of fostering doubt, confusion, and division, all of which pose a significant threat to the fabric of our society. The repercussions extend beyond the political realm, negatively impacting our business community and impeding our state's economic development. When our state becomes a subject of ridicule, it hampers our potential for growth and prosperity.
"I call upon Senate President Petersen to help restore the public's trust in our electoral processes and to approach any future election-related initiatives with the utmost caution and diligence. Our democracy depends on it, and the people of our state deserve nothing less."
