Remember the Az. Audit....

There was a big fight to stop the audit. During that time...it was claimed that files had been deleted from Machines...which at first was denied and then spun to be the auditors were inept....
...except it turned out to be true:
Maricopa County officials previously admitted to Congress during a hearing that files for the 2020 presidential election had been "deleted" after being "archived," but that they hadn't thought that the archived files were pertinent to the subpoena they received from the Arizona state Senate....so the auditors supposedly figured out how to restore the files.
Well now it turns out:
-video footage showed a county election official deleting 2020 election files from subpoenaed servers prior to their delivery to state Senate auditors
Maricopa County Election Database Administrator Brian Ramirez being granted unauthorized entry to the server room on multiple occasions and deleting election files from the elections management server in 2021, during the state Senate audit of the county-
The time of the video footage matches with the time that the files were deleted from the logs.
- This was before the voting machines were delivered to auditors in compliance with a subpoena
-despite federal law requiring these files to be kept for 22 months
-Ramirez lacked authorization to the server room, but gained access using two other people's credentials.
- Ramirez alone in the room, although policy requires two people to be in the server room "whenever someone is using the server room keyboard video monitor."
Nobody is responding to questions about the video footage.
