Complete bozos.
> The GOP-controlled county Board of Supervisors refused to show up... They called the audit a “sham”
Backstabbing GOP at it again. Pathetic. We need fighters on our side, not surrender monkeys.
Mariner, remember him? yea He was the guy that believed the AP on the recovery of data story right? yea, such a tool.
“Ben Cotton, founder of a computer forensics firm working on the audit, told key senators that he had recovered all data.”
Managing to recover the data does not mean it was not deleted to begin with.
Queue the people claiming it’s “Fake News” just because they don’t like it.
“As I suspected, the people hired by the legislature are utter incompetents.
Complete bozos.”
Thank you, Joe Biden.
?
The headline is a lie. The auditors said they were able to recover the deleted data.
I’m sorry, this story may be true. BUT, the AP has done nothing NOTHING to deserve any kind of credibility. The AP is to be disbelieved first and must be proven to not be lying.
Any word about created data?
If it was not deleted, it would not have had to be recovered.
Notice how the “backtracking” statement by the AP is a spin on the fact that data was recovered in order to discredit the earlier claim that it was deleted.
AP is lying.
Well you suspected wrong. Someone with administrative access “deleted” the database folder, but the audit team was able to recover the deleted folder and its files because that deletion was the last thing done to the machines before they were handed over. When stolen money is recovered no one says, “Well the police backtracked on the robbery.”
Confusing and I suspect the AP is spinning this.
Was the data deleted and then recovered, or was is there all along.
The data was deleted but not destroyed. The nincompoop was the guy who thought deleting the directory would actually destroy the data as opposed to just make it difficult to recover. Who do they get to write for the AP? You’d think an editor with at least a remote understanding of servers would look at a story like this, but that would assume AP is not deliberately being misleading.
Probably does not matter what they find now after this.
The way that this report is worded is something to behold. Talk about spinning a story to appear to be something other than what it truly is.
Be very careful when taking propaganda to heart.
The claim of deleted databases was amplified by former President Donald Trump and his supporters, who believe conspiracy theories about election irregularities.
Trump’s fault!
Wait a minute. The original claim was that the database(s) had been deleted. They subsequently found a means of recovering the data. That doesn’t make the original claim false. It simply means that the people who tried to hide it failed to delete all traces of the files and the forensic company was astute enough to find them.
Maybe the are bozos (time and the results will tell that) but this AP article is a bald face lie.
The Maricopa elections data base files were illegally accessed at least 5 times between the end of the election and the time someone ultimately deleted and tried to erase them on 4/12/21 - several days before they were to turned over to the auditors.
The fact who ever deleted the files prior to hand off to the audit team was unsuccessful at permanently wiping the drives and the files were able to be forensically recovered from the data drives does not mean a crime has not been committed. to that the audit team are bozos.
The lies coming out of the Maricopa County elections officials and the media are stunning. One reporterette actually tried to defame the audit team by saying that the auditors were lying because the Az state voter registration data base had not been erased. she actually deliberately tried to conflate the election results and the image files of adjudicated votes with the Az voter registration data base to confuse Arizonans
Fact is 1/3 of the votes have been reviewed and that is more than enough of a sample to prove wide spread irregularities have been uncovered. Fraud is the logical explanation. If there any bozosity at work here it is non the part of Maricopa County and the elections team because they were just to damn incompetent to properly wipe the drives with a mil spec data removal utility so the data could not be reconstructed from the disk volumes
