Maricopa County Recorder: Cyber Ninjas Represent Falling Regard For Professionals

Published: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 - 4:12pm

The Maricopa County recorder said a firm of amateurs is in charge of checking 2020 election results already verified by the county.

Stephen Richer spoke Wednesday during a virtual chat hosted by the pro-voting group, Secure Democracy.

He tied the use of Cyber Ninjas with examples of falling respect for professionals in other fields such as science.

Richer predicted the trend will make it hard to fix major problems like natural disasters, national debt and COVID-19.     

“And I promise you that if these problems are solved, they will be solved by professional experts and not by dilettantes like the Cyber Ninjas,” he said.

The Arizona Supreme Court has ordered release of records on the Florida company hired by the state senate.

Findings of the review by Cyber Ninjas have been delayed for months.
