A successful ninja is unseen, unheard, stealthy, and by that standard, the firm Cyber Ninjas—which Arizona Republicans chose to audit the ballots cast in 2020 in the Phoenix area—fits the bill.

No. I don’t know these guys. Never heard of them,” said Christian Ziegler, vice chair of the Republican Party of Florida and a resident of Sarasota, echoing a dozen top Florida Republicans and elections professionals.
