Did you read further down in the article or did you stop at that point?It was deleted, and they used forensic tools to recover it.Except it wasn't. Not that it matters to conspiracy theorists.Which files were deleted?Refusing to hand over public material regarding the election by officials is proof of wrongdoing on their behalf. That’s all the reason we need to dig deeper with a more extensive audit.Why are you claiming anyone is trying to overturn the election? If rampant fraud was found, it won’t undo the election, especially the Presidential one. It will just enable the people to see who broke the law and what laws need to be changed to make the elections cleaner and more transparent.
Only to Republicans trying to overthrow democracy.
Actually, we are a Republic. The word 'democracy' doesn't appear in the Constitution.
Actually that's mostly semantics in this context, but that's the game you like to play. We have a democratic form of government it's just not a straight out democracy.
Why does the idea of a representative form of government, such as ours, upset you so much you are scrambling to overturn it?
Why are you against transparent elections?
Why are you claiming they weren't trying to overturn an election? They picked 1/6 at the Capitol out of a hat? Really?
Why - in absence of any evidence - do you insist on audit after audit? This is number 3 or 4 for Arizona isn't it?
So you in absence of evidence you just insist on more. That's when you leave rational behavior behind and enter whackadoodle territory.
Rational behavior - we have a system for contesting that has endured for several centuries - we can request recounts, we can send to the courts, we can have the DoJ look for frauds - all of which have applied. And no evidence of significant fraud.
At point will you be satisfied? Rhetorical question. You won't be. Because that's the way conspiracy theories work (or sore losers who can't admit their guy was so crappy he lost to an opponent portrayed as an old geezer). So now, as each level of investigation FAILS to produce evidence of fraud - the investigators and officials themselves are then incorporated into the conspiracy theory - they are "in on the fraud". That's why your reduced to a crackpot group with no experience in election fraud, looking for bamboo fibers in the ballots.
And billing the taxpayers for your crap! All because your leader refuses to admit that He. Is. A. Loser.
The American people are the ones who are paying for this.
Sounds like you’ve never worked for the government or been a part of an audit. I have. The more shady shit is found, the more auditors will dig. These guys already refused court orders and deleted files, they are guilty.
You keep making excuses for them and claiming “there is no evidence”.
Again, why are you against transparent elections? All records of an election should be open for the public to view.
A database file.
No it wasn't. They lied about that too.

Arizona GOP's election auditors backtrack on destroyed data claim
Auditors working on behalf of state Senate Republicans admitted Tuesday that data it had accused Maricopa County of deleting had been found.www.nbcnews.com
According to your own article:
one of the auditors repeated the claim that the database had been deleted, but said he was able to "recover" the files.
“All of this, however, may be a moot point, because subsequently I was able to recover all those deleted files and I have access to them,” said Ben Cotton, the founder of CyFir, one of the companies subcontracted to conduct the audit.
Maybe you should read articles before using them to back up your idiotic claims.
