Well, La Ti Freakin' Da....

Cyber ninjas lied? Trump lied?


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.
 
They can’t find the evidence because I have all those missing ballots in my garage. I’m keeping them.

I think they would benefit from a new set of ears.

Their old fashion tin foil ones are not working.

Trump will throw a fit over this.

They didn't say the data was destroyed. They said it was deleted. And now, they have recovered that deleted data. This isn't a backtrack...it's technology at its finest.

But guess what...the data WAS deleted and that is against the law. The criminals failed, but they still need to be charged and stand trial.

LMAO... Or these IDIOTS didn't know how to configure R-Studio correctly to see the data... Care to place a bet on which scenario happened?

Let it go already, the hole you're digging is deep enough as it is. Who are the criminals? Have any names or are you just throwing crap on the wall?
 
Read the letter the Senate sent to the BoS.


LMAO... Did you read the letter from the BoS that outlined the stupidity of the ninja's? After the letter describes what they did wrong the magically "recover" the files? if they need any more IT advice they should contact the Maricopa County IT department who apparently know more about R-Studio than the "ninjas".
 
Don't know.

But that doesn't mean the law should not be enforced.


Absolutely, it should be enforced... Put Ben Cotton under oath and watch him sing...

We will disagree. You can look up the County Recorders explanation. It is available on the Maricopa County website. In a nutshell Cyber Ninja did not configure the software to read the database properly. Once they did, they could read the database.

No files were deleted. The choice of words used is misleading.

Cyber Ninjas made the copy of the data. It is interesting the County Recorder to view the data on his PC. Seems CN is trying to save face.

Your hero Twump said the "entire database of Maricopa County" was deleted, whatever the **** that means.

What an idiot ****tard that man is. Why you worship that mentally ill con man with a 4th grade education is far beyond my comprehension.

You're making shit up again, right? Don't your tire of lying?

Did you hear the AZ Republican party is turning against the audit? Even the Republicans know this is only going to hurt them!

A true clown show!
 
Trump will throw a fit over this.
I sure hope so! We need to hear from him as much as possible. He's going to get us (the Dems) more seats in both houses!

It was only deleted, not destroyed?? These awesome cyber ninjas couldn't find the "deleted files" in the Recycle Bin?

LOL...yes, I'm laughing at you. You have no idea what you're saying.

Or...put the Chairman of the BoS under oath and watch HIM sing.
