PHOENIX (AP) — Firms hired to run a partisan audit of the 2020 election for Senate Republicans in Arizona said Tuesday that data was not destroyed, reversing earlier allegations that election officials in the state's most populated county eliminated evidence.
The claim of deleted databases was amplified by former President Donald Trump and his supporters, who believe conspiracy theories about election irregularities.
Ben Cotton, founder of a computer forensics firm working on the audit, told key senators that he had recovered all data. The revelation came a day after Maricopa County officials released a scathing letter saying the auditors couldn't find the data because they didn't know where to look.
“I have the information I need from the recovery efforts of the data,” said Cotton, founder of CyFIR LLC.
He spoke at a livestreamed hearing called by Republican Senate President Karen Fann to demand answers from county officials about the allegation of deleted data and improper documentation of ballot storage.
The GOP-controlled county Board of Supervisors refused to show up, instead holding a blistering meeting of their own Monday to refute the allegations. They called the audit a “sham” and said Fann's auditors are incompetent.

freeper rigelkentaurus: I listened to the Senate hearing this afternoon. What CNN stated is false, surprise surprise. What the auditor said was the data WAS deleted, but that they were able to successfully recovery it fully and that the issue is moot from there audit viewpoint as they now have the data.
Who deleted it and when is still an open question, and that is certainly destruction of evidence and in violation of AZ election law. Doubt it will be pursued, but the reality is completely different than CNN claims.
You don’t understand- “Reality” is what Trump says it is. If you don’t Trust The Plan you are actually a commie Biden Supporter. All cults require you believe the Leader, not your lying eyes or those fabricating journalists. ONLY the MAGA cult knows the Truth, all else is lies!

?
Care to retract, troll?
“They never turn the machine on or modify the original device. So, if the folder was erased it is on the original machine! They can prove the county is lying by simply turning on the machine.”
Incomprehensible babble.
It was never deleted.
It was in a location they didn’t look.
He refuses to acknowledge that a freeper already debunked the Hamas puppet Jonathan J. Cooper's lies.

It amazes me that in Arizona the cyber-ninja are just learening how serviver farms work - when they have given up on checking signatures.
Let me tell you how the election was stolen:
MAIL IN BALLOTS.
The Dominion issues, internet nonsense all detracts from where the fraud was. And there are plenty who are wiling to waste time and energy on these rabbit holes, when the obvious is staring us in the face.
You refused to watch the video of the testimony where he says that he recovered the “deleted” files? I thought you were better than this.
It's a yes or no question.

The OP is the boldest one of all...
Oh, and IBSM
The headline is a lie. The auditors said they were able to recover the deleted data.
I don’t do video and did not watch the hearing.
If the Cyber Ninja auditors are lying about this then how can we believe anything else they come up with?
Which is exactly why no matter how many recounts or cyber analysis will not show anything.
The *REAL* problem is that *WE REPUBLICANS* should have been way out in front in USING mail-in ballots. They aren’t going away.
Eventually every single person is going to be voting; either we have a party and platform that can win with 100 percent participation of every adult over 18, or we become history.
You’re an idiot, believing what your emotions tell you to believe.
Meanwhile that lunatic Lin Woodhead is telling gullible people not to vote. And many are stupid enough to listen to him.
He'll just hang here and defend Ape Pee lies.
