Last week, we learned that it had been discovered that data had been deleted at some point between the November election and the audit.

In fact, the entire 2020 General Election database was deleted.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann sent a letter to Chariman Sellers mentioning the deletion and demanded answers:

We have recently discovered that the entire “Database” directory from the D drive of the machine “EMSPrimary” has been deleted. This removes election related details that appear to have been covered by the subpoena. In addition, the main database for the Election Management System (EMS) Software, “Results Tally and Reporting,” is not located anywhere on the EMSPrimary machine, even though all of the EMS Clients reference that machine as the location of the database. This suggests that the main database for all election-related data for the November 2020 General Election has been removed. Can you please advise as to why these folders were deleted, and whether there are any backups that may contain the deleted folders?

Here is a photo showing the deleted files:

It was then rumored that this showed not just that they had been deleted, but that they had been recovered, but that information was still unclear.

As it turns out, the Arizona Senate held a hearing and the audit team gave an update on everything. They informed them that the filed were indeed recovered!

The question still remains though, who deleted the files? They didn’t just delete themselves. This isn’t Inspector Gadget where the data will self-destruct. This is the real world and someone really purposely deleted those files.

Knowing a little about computers myself, I know that they can find this information through a variety of methods. But that person can run and try to hide, but ultimately they will be found out and we’ll know who was behind the treacherous act.
