Anderson Cooper gets 'Montana' trending with a new report on the Maricopa audit, fails to credit the local journo who broke the story two weeks ago

“Montana” is trending this morning thanks to this story last night on Anderson Cooper’s show on allegations that Arizona voter data has been sent to cabin/lab in rural Montana by one of the contractors involved with the Maricopa county audit:

Except, this is old news. The Arizona Republic’s Jen Fifield broke the story two weeks ago:

And the Twitter account for the audit responded to the allegations on June 4:

Of note, CNN missed that the policy manual linked to by the audit Twitter account in defense of their data practices appears to have been copied from a Policies and Procedures Manual created by the Department of Justice:
