Deleted enough. If you have 120+ days to obliterate evidence, you just keep rerunning software to wipe the drives. I suspect a 7-pass DoD wipe would be more than sufficient to destroy the evidence. Run that 7-pass DoD wipe repeatedly, and you aren’t gathering anything, even with the best forensics.

No, but it can become impractical to recreate full records from it.

Seven writes with random data does a pretty old job. That’s what I use when I reformat drives.

We'll know if they used Hillary's patented bleach bit soon enough - "like with a cloth?"

Perhaps that can be argued. Some hundreds of terabytes of disks came into my possession for a job and I made sure that every sector was overwritten with multiple passes of random data. They weren’t subject to any supeona or anything, but I wanted to be sure that nobody would EVER bother me for that junk.

If it's not 100% auditable, it's not an election. Time for a new special election in Maricopa County.

Repeat this in EVERY county that can't cough up ALL the vote records.

Especially on MS-Windows computers. There are all kind of recovery tools available. I'd be willing to bet they aren't even using NTFS.

My thoughts exactly. This is when those annoying booger picking computer geeks earn their chops...and acceptance. Maybe they can get Ms. Arizona to be nice to them and retrieve the data!
