The Maricopa County Twitter page went off on Cyber Ninjas for their incompetence while auditing the 2020 presidential election results.

While the notorious audit concluded that President Joe Biden did win Arizona’s largest county, the Maricopa Twitter page is now slamming them for failing to “build trust” in the system.

Regardless of what ends up in the final report, what Cyber Ninjas & co. conducted was not a good audit. It did not build trust.

The lengthy thread went on to slam Cyber Ninjas, a company that had never analyzed an election before, for “claiming transparency” despite withholding “vital information from the public.”

While claiming competence, they put ballots on spinning tables and took a “2/3 ain’t bad” approach to verifying counts. It will be interesting to see how they ended up w/ their final number.https://t.co/amwBZejadq

“While claiming competence, they put ballots on spinning tables and took a ‘2/3 ain’t bad’ approach to verifying counts,” added the county’s Twitter page. “It will be interesting to see how they ended up [with] their final number.”

The thread also included a video of what Ali Vetnar, a reporter for Arizona radio station KTAR, described as “a man spinning tables so fast the ballots fall off.”

It also hit at Cyber Ninjas for allowing “Stop the Steal” advocates to volunteer in the auditing process, as well as welcoming “at least one candidate who appeared on the 2020 General Election ballot to be part of the ballot review process.”

“While claiming personal biases would not affect their work, they participated in a film that alleged fraud in the 2020 election at the same time and in the same place they were conducting a supposedly independent review of that same election,” noted the thread, adding that the company “took nearly $6 million in private donations from organizations and people who have publicly claimed that the 2020 general election was stolen.”

The thread accused Cyber Ninja leaders of making “baseless, public allegations that promoted doubt in Maricopa County’s election system, staff, leadership, and the canvassed and certified election results,” linking to an Arizona Mirror article titled “Cyber Ninjas leader ignored records contradicting his false claim.”

The thread went on to note that the audit had “no bipartisan oversite,” that Cyber Ninja developed rules “on the fly,” a “vague scope of work,” and “no fixed timeline.”

“Board members do not believe the flawed Senate/Cyber Ninja audit should discourage real election audits by experienced professionals,” the thread concluded. “But let’s be honest about the difference.”

The thread comes as Maricopa County survey found that there was widespread trust in the voting system following the 2020 presidential election, despite Donald Trump’s baseless claims of fraud.

According to the survey, nearly 91 percent of voters felt as if they were adequately informed by the County regarding their voting options, while roughly the same percentage found that they received the information needed to vote.

The survey additionally found that on a scale of one to five — one indicating no trust while five marking complete trust — nearly 70 percent of voters have “complete trust” in the Ballot by Mail system. Only 11 percent claimed to have no trust in the system.
