They are going to court to get the routers. Why doesn't Maricopa turn them over? Experts say the other information( none) is safe. If there was no fraud there is no excuse not to turn them over.
Election machines should never be connected to any modem according to experts in the field who were concerned prior to the election of 2020. About a year prior, a team decided to use their hacking skills for a good purpose: to detect how many voting machines were found to be attached to a modem/router either directly or via cell phone. Although the team of experts had been told "We have zero computers connected to the internet" by one of the top three voting machine producers, the team discovered that was an outright falsehood.
Now, after the 2020 election, it is not clear how many machines throughout the country remain connected. That is the problem that needed addressing years ago, regardless of one's politics, if you back fair elections computers connected to the internet has been proven to be hackable.
A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did.

Now, efforts to legally eliminate the option to connect to the internet is being thwarted by our find government officials: "Key elements of the first federal technology standards for voting equipment in 15 years should be scrapped
because language that would have banned the devices from connecting to the internet was dropped after private meetings held with manufacturers, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday."
"The lawsuit against the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., claims those meetings should have been open and that changes to the draft standards should have been shared with the commission’s advisory and standards boards. The lawsuit seeks to have those changes set aside."
"The standards, approved in February, did not include draft language that would have banned wireless technology from voting equipment under federal certification guidelines. Voting security experts say the machines will be vulnerable to hacking without such a ban."
"While the commission’s certification guidelines are voluntary, multiple states use them to set mandatory requirements for voting equipment."
Susan Greenhalgh, of the nonprofit Free Speech for People, stated: "
the EAC brazenly flouted its legal obligation to adhere to a transparent process, choosing instead to invite the manufacturers into private meetings so they could alter the voting system standards to ease requirements and benefit the manufacturers.”
How lovely, the actions of the US EAC- US Election Assistance Committee sounds quite corrupt allowing an election machine seller determine our voting machines laws. I'll be that equates to a lot of money under the table to make those kinds of deals...likely many over the table as well for future deal making.
