Despite reports showing that well-qualified firms bid to perform the audit, Cyber Ninjas—which did not submit a bid and has no relevant experience—was selected by @FannkFann. 3/
Cyber Ninjas and the other firms participating will be paid by outside funds raised by others who have spread election conspiracies 4/ https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/arizona-audit-lin-wood-fundraising">https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/ariz...
