re: I'm listening to the Court hearing on Democrats's Lawsuit in Arizon to Stop the Audit

The judge ordered a pause until Monday while legality questions were sorted out.
Didn't the state legislature say to audit the vote? What legal issues could there possibly be?

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona judge on Friday temporarily halted an audit of the 2020 election results from Maricopa County as long as Democrats put up $1 million to fund any potential increase in costs.
The audit including a hand recount of 2.1 million ballots is being conducted on behalf of Republicans in the state Senate, who have hired a cybersecurity firm with no election experience owned by a man who shared unfounded allegations of election fraud on his since-deleted Twitter account.
Democrats did not immediately say whether they’d put up the money. Maricopa County judge Christopher Coury said all auditing activities should be stopped between 5 p.m. Friday and noon Monday, saying he wants to know the policies in procedures in place so he can decide next week whether the auditors are operating legally.
A lawyer for the Senate, Kory Langhofer, had asked that any halt be delayed so he could immediately appeal.
The Arizona Democratic Party and the lone Democrat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors filed suit on Thursday saying Senate GOP leaders are failing to uphold their promises to maintain ballot secrecy and voter privacy.
Those assurances were given by Senate President Karen Fann and Judiciary Chairman Warren Petersen earlier this year when a judge ordered the county to hand over all 2.1 million ballots and the machines used to count them.

The thought that Democrats think they have injury and thus standing to complain about a fricking audit that’s not going to do anything but tell the Arizona Senate whether the election laws they wrote were violated is infuriating.
If the Senate wanted to know if election laws were violated, maybe they shouldn't have hired a bunch of yee-haws to do the audit.

Judge Coury expressed concern about the process, however, particularly after Roopali Desai, an attorney representing the Democratic Party, noted that a reporter for the Arizona Republic had tweeted that she had observed audit workers using blue ink pens as the process got underway Friday morning.
State law requires that only pens with red ink be used in election reviews because optical scanners recognize both blue and black ink, and stray marks could affect the count.
The Senate must have gotten these auditors from Mike Lindell's "expert's" list.
