This was just announced– It appears the Maricopa County Attorney will weaponize her office and use it for a possible investigation of cyber forensics of America’s Audit cyber team.
Maricopa County officials have fought tooth-and-nail to prevent the Arizona Senate Audit from taking place. They have stalled the process at every turn.
On Friday they threatened the audit team with legal action. What are they so scared of?
Local news KTAR broke the story on Friday evening.

Blow her off and plow forward. Get finished while using lawyers to delay her.
Use Senate powers in every imaginable way to clip the wings of her office.
"In accordance with the standard database archival processes, the data files (MDF file type) were moved to a backup hard drive in February to ensure the server had sufficient space to perform the statutory mandated March Jurisdictional Election."
The county attorney's statement appears to be true when carefully parsed. No doubt nothing was "deleted" when they prepared to send the server to the Senate, since the database in question had already been removed by the election office in what they contend was normal operations.
I watched and listened carefully to both the BoS meeting on Monday and the Senate hearing Tuesday as well as reading the statement regarding "moving" the database. I thought the same thing as you, they were creating wiggle room with that statement and know they needed to. IMO, they know we know they cheated.
I downloaded and searched the Arizona Elections Procedures Manual and searched for those type of keywords (archive, backup, back up, database, etc.) and no results were used in the context of moving a database file. My guess is they aren't getting much sleep at night.
Funny how the County Attorney’s office never got excited about this but couldn’t be bothered to look into the clear irregularities of the actual election back in November.
Funny that.
I've begun labeling intractable daily problems that arise - mechanical or physical annoyances that don't surrender with a little application of knowledge and effort - "fight like a Democrat".
I do this instead of getting mad about the vexations.
LOCK HER UP!
This database stuff is really stupid. All they have to do is turn on the server to find out if the folder was deleted. The server the audit team received was untouched. They did not turn the machine on. All they did was copy the hard drives and rebuild the data. Then returned the drives with every byte the same.
So, the server is in its original condition as received.
The county told straight up lies about the Audit team. The media then reported what the country said and by telling such lies they damaged the reputation of the audit team. Even a bunch of Freepers believed the lies. Some Freepers still believe the lies and are permanently damaged.
So I say sue the County and sue the media. Two can play that game.
I agree! There seems to be a lot of pessimistic freepers here who are gullible.
It is hard to parse the carefully written statements of the county election officials without more information than is readily available from public sources. However, it appears that the election officials may have moved databases from the election server to backup disk drives. It may be that they did not provide those backup disk drives to the auditors, only the server, and therefore from the point of view of the auditors the data was deleted.
From the point of view of the election officials it was just moved to another disk, not deleted.
This sounds, based on what I have seen, more like a non-cooperative election office than an actual deletion of data. It may be grounds for a complaint to the Court which ruled the subpoena valid, but it is more likely to be just more noise in a battle of sound bites.
