Nope. Nothing to hide here. So might as well delete it. After all, data storage is so expensive. At least 30 cents per gigabyte. Gotta save that storgage for something that's actually important.

Here's an article about it:

Michigan Secretary of State Issues Order to Delete Election Data Amid Audit Calls
In a move that implicates her office in efforts to suppress evidence in the face of litigation, Michigan’s Secretary of State moves to erase proof of ballot tampering and vote fraud
December 4, 2020
It what can only be seen as an effort to keep the facts from coming to light in the face of problematic issues with Michigan’s 2020 General Election process, a memo has been issued from Michigan’s Secretary of State to destroy data.
The Michigan State Republican Party Friday sounded an alarm about an ethically questionable memo authorized by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that “is pushing for the mass deletion of election data.”
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Laura Cox in a statement Friday, said that Benson’s office issued orders to clerks in Michigan counties to “delete Electronic Poll Book software and associated files” even as calls to audit the election persist.
Cox was referring to a December 1, 2020, memo from the Michigan Bureau of Elections, an agency overseen by Benson’s office, that read, “[Electronic Poll Book] software and associated files must be deleted from all devices by the seventh calendar day following the final canvass and certification of the election (November 30, 2020) unless a petition for recount has been filed and the recount has not been completed, a post-election audit is planned but has not yet been completed, or the deletion of the data has been stayed by an order of the court or the Secretary of State.”
The order targeted data contained in Electronic Poll Book software and in files contained on laptops and USB drives using during the election.
“Secretary Benson’s move to request the deletion of election data amidst bipartisan calls for an audit is just another example of her putting partisan politics over what’s best for Michigan,” Cox said in the Friday statement.
“With election irregularities rampant across the state,” Cox added, “it is vital that we have this audit before any election data is deleted. Secretary Benson’s move to delete this data before an audit raises a serious question, what are the Democrats hiding?”
This week, witnesses, including a poll worker in Detroit and GOP poll challengers, testified at a Michigan State Legislature hearing into the myriad complaints of vote fraud and ballot tampering throughout the state on Election Day and afterward.
Michigan’s Secretary of State told reporters that there is no evidence of vote fraud, ballot tampering, or irregularities that would overturn the election, despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
IT'S OVER. Bar is closed. Go home.
The bar is closed because autocratic Democrats and their idiotic shutdowns. Deleting election data while audits await gives the appearance of destroying evidence even if no laws were broken.
No audits are waiting. No court orders to retain the results. Lots of calls--by krakenheads and duped Trump supporters, but Askin' ain't gettin'.
Tell that to the legislature. That's who is seeking audits and they have the authority to do so.
I just looked and all their requests have been shut down.
