The Arizona state Senate's official "liaison" to the controversial election audit in Maricopa County said in an interview that he could soon resign.
Speaking to Insider on Tuesday, former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett said he remains frustrated with the audit process. He also said Cyber Ninjas, the private firm that is running the vote count, has refused to share with him any information about its own tally. "It's very odd," he said of the situation. The company, whose leadership has promoted claims that the 2020 election was "rigged," has been counting ballots since April. "I expect that, eventually, the hand count done by Cyber Ninjas will be shared with me," Bennett said. "But it hasn't yet."
Earlier this week, Bennett told a conservative talk show host that he was on the "
precipice" of resigning after having been denied entry to the building where Cyber Ninjas is conducting its latest round of ballot counting, as The Arizona Republic
reported last week.
"The accuracy and completeness of Maricopa County's duplication process was confirmed in court," Megan Gilbertson, a spokesperson for the elections department, said.
As for his own future, Bennett told Insider that he is trying to meet with Sen. Fann to discuss "whether or not I can continue, or if I will continue." "I was hoping yesterday," he said. "Here it is today."
