Indicted Michigan lawyer pushed Cyber Ninjas to include false claims in AZ audit: report

A Michigan lawyer who's been indicted in that state's investigation into election fraud helped write the Cyber Ninjas' report to the Arizona Senate that contained false claims aimed at overturning the vote, The Arizona Republic reported.

Stefanie Lambert pushed Cyber Ninjas' CEO Doug Logan to claim the report found evidence that fake ballots were used in Maricopa County, Arizona, despite Logan telling her there was no evidence, according to text messages reviewed by AZCentral.

Cyber Ninjas was a company that carried out a ballot audit in Arizona that was initiated by Republicans in the Arizona State Senate.

“You are killing me. You need to do this," Lambert wrote in a text to Logan, to which he responded that, "The ballots in question were unlikely fraud.”

"The exchange is among 1,484 texts Logan sought to hide from the public by blacking out the contents," The Republic reported.

"But a technical error allows for anyone to erase the redactions and make the messages visible. The dispute between the two likely was difficult for Logan because Lambert also was helping him raise the money he needed to pay bills for his 'audit' work. His finances were a constant worry, according to their private messages obtained through a public records lawsuit and unredacted by The Arizona Republic."
