Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday announced plans to probe the private company behind the conspiracy theory-driven audit of 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Arizona, saying that they have concerns that the highly unusual effort is meant to undermine faith in the nations election system.

The investigation will target Cyber Ninjas, the private company Arizona state Senate Republicans contracted to run an election review that has drawn the ire of everyone from Arizonas Democratic secretary of state to the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County board of supervisors.

The Committee is seeking to determine whether the privately funded audit conducted by your company in Arizona protects the right to vote or is instead an effort to promote baseless conspiracy theories, undermine confidence in Americas elections, and reverse the result of a free and fair election for partisan gain, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) wrote in a letter to Cyber Ninjas CEO Douglas Logan on Wednesday.

Maloney chairs the House Oversight Committee. Raskin is the head of its Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
