Prior to giving her daily audit update, Arizona GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward disclosed the name of a database/directory containing millions of files that is alleged to have been deleted by Maricopa County officials before equipment was handed over to auditors, and then later recovered.
The auditing team announced during their meeting with Arizona’s Senate on Tuesday that they fully recovered and restored the large batch of files.
“The name of the deleted database/directory is ‘Results, Tally, and Reporting’,” Dr. Ward tweeted on Tuesday evening. “The audit team reports they’ve recovered it.”

Ben Cotton, founder of CyFir, a firm involved in the process, announced Tuesday that he has the files.

“I have the information I need from the recovery efforts,” he revealed. Video Below
