Maricopa County Judge Recuses Himself From 2020 Election Audit Case
Slowly we turned. Step by step, inch by inch... It appears only our side will ever look at this information until it becomes so well known on our side and so overwhelming that the New York Times, et al will have to report it in self defense.
[EpochTimes] The judge who was overseeing a legal challenge to the Arizona Senate’s audit of votes cast in the state’s largest election during the 2020 presidential election has recused himself from the case less than 24 hours before a scheduled April 26 hearing.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury recused himself from the legal challenge on April 25 after learning that attorney Chris Viskovic, with whom he’d had a prior working relationship, had joined the case, 12 News first reported.

According to a copy of the recusal obtained by the news outlet, the court received filings at 4 p.m. April 25 that included names of new attorneys, including Viskovic, who worked at the office of Coury "as an extern within the past five years."
April 25th...a Sunday. The court is receiving filings at 4PM??
Viskovic now holds a position as a junior associate at Kolodin Law Group PLLC, which is representing the Florida-based cybersecurity firm Cyber Ninjas in court. Cyber Ninjas is one of four firms hired by the state Senate to conduct the audit.

The recusal notes that in accordance with the state’s code of judicial conduct and rules of the Arizona Supreme Court, Coury must recuse himself from any further involvement in the case.

The Arizona Senate liaison for the audit said in an April 25 statement: "We look forward to the assignment of a new Judge and a rescheduled hearing as soon as possible. Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the SWAT team had finally arrived...
the audit continues."

Coury, a Republican, was replaced by Judge Daniel Martin in the case on April 26.

The audit taking place in the state’s largest county started on April 19. Companies hired by the state Senate are examining 2.1 million ballots, testing voting machines, looking for IT breaches, and performing a hand count.

The state-issued subpoenas that were needed to execute the audit were ruled as valid on Feb. 25.

Arizona Democrats filed an emergency request to block the audit on April 22. Coury granted the request the following day but only if the party would post a $1 million bond. Democrats refused, so the audit wasn’t paused.

During a hearing earlier in the day, Coury did say that he would temporarily pause the audit until at least April 26 so he could hear more about concerns Democrats laid out in a lawsuit.

Coury isn’t popular among Democrats, who campaigned to oust him last year from another four-year term on the bench over his ruling on an education ballot proposition called Invest in Ed.

The Maricopa County Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
in October 2020 campaigned to oust Coury, creating a website that called him an "activist judge" after he ruled that the summary for the proposed tax hike for education was misleading.

The other firms hired by the Republican-majority state Senate to conduct the audit include Wake Technology Services, CyFIR, and Digital Discovery.

A report is expected to be released on the audit’s findings in about two months.

I am hearing 3 to 1 odds the recount results will even get to the SCOTUS by 2024+ for final say.

There are already several staged court battles over the results and findings prepared and waiting to toss the monkey wrench into the works.

Opps! Those odds will likely increase...
"The new judge in the Democrats Maricopa County case where they are again trying to stop any audit by the Senate of the County’s 2020 election results was appointed by Janet Napolitano, the former governor and Obama’s Secretary of Homeland Security ..."

#3 And the new judge is rushing a hearing from 10 days in the future to tuesday, to prevent the count from being completed before he can rule for the Treason Party (TM)
