Doug Logan is claiming he stopped communicating with “any individual associated with the audit” on New Year’s Day 2022.

Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan is trying to keep secret more than 1,600 texts he exchanged with a Michigan lawyer who was indicted on charges of illegally accessing voting machines as part of a plot to overturn 2020 election results.
Logan sent and received nearly 2,400 texts with Stefanie Lambert, more than any other person he messaged while leading the Arizona Senate’s “audit” of 2020 ballots cast in Maricopa County, records show.
And now Logan and Lambert appear to have coordinated efforts to redact and conceal most of their messages — including ones directly related to the ballot review — despite multiple court orders to turn them over in response to a public records lawsuit filed by The Arizona Republic.
In addition to blocking Lambert’s texts, Logan is claiming he stopped communicating with “any individual associated with the audit” on New Year’s Day 2022. However, his own records show he exchanged 1,487 texts after that date with allies of former President Donald Trump who took active roles in the Arizona Senate’s partisan recount.
Lambert, an ardent supporter of Trump, enlisted Logan to take apart and analyze voting machines in Michigan and Georgia in the weeks before the Arizona Senate hired him.
Logan, who was initially named as a suspect but will not face charges in the Michigan case, texted Lambert nearly every day — often dozens of times — from March 2021, before the ballot review began, to January 2022, months after it ended.
