Cyber Ninjas is in breach of its agreement with the Arizona Senate to conduct an audit of the presidential election in Maricopa County, Senate President Karen Fann wrote in a Tuesday letter to the company.
Fann’s letter adds pressure on the Florida company to turn over thousands of records related to the audit, and also comes as the Senate itself is facing court sanctions for not in turn making those records available to Arizonans.
The letter was sent two days before a county judge was slated to consider Thursday whether Cyber Ninjas should face court penalties for not turning over records.
That case, filed by The Arizona Republic, is separate from another lawsuit in which left-leaning watchdog group American Oversight already has sought sanctions against the Senate.
Fann’s three-paragraph letter puts the onus on Cyber Ninjas. The Florida company’s failure to give the Senate documents pursuant to a judge’s order means the company violated its contract, according to Fann. And as such, the Senate “reserves its rights to pursue any and every applicable claim or remedy to enforce the agreement’s provisions.”
