Is Colorado the state where it was alleged that an election worker made a backup copy of some elections data (voting machines or tabulating system) before it was wiped out by an “upgrade”? Or was that Arizona?
Not an election worker the county clerk. See #9.
I would assume the voting machine is asked to load ballot data onto a USB drive.
The USB drive would probably then taken to a tabulating computer.
Those USB drives should have been kept and it would be easy for a supervisor of elections to make a copies for a freedom of information act request.
Even if a voting machine gets reset, its ballot data should still exist on a USB drive, and probably on a tabulating computer drive too.

Allegedly the two allowed a person named Conan James Hayes to impersonate someone named Gerald Wood to be present at a County election software update where he allegedly obtained hard drives or copies of hard drives from election machines. These were given to Ryan Watkins (aka CodeMonkeyZ). Both Hayes and Watkins were hired onto Mike Lindell's "red team" for his Cyber Symposium.
