The technology company Cyber Ninjas was tasked last month with conducting an audit of election results in Maricopa County, Arizona, ordered by Republican state senators.
On May 15, former President Donald Trump weighed in.
That s false, according to PolitiFact.com. There is no evidence any databases were illegally deleted.
Three days before Trump s statement, a post on the audit s Twitter account said the county deleted a directory full of election databases from the 2020 election cycle days before the election equipment was delivered to the audit.
The Maricopa County Elections Department disputed that claim in a memo, stating, the original database folder on the EMSPrimary server was not deleted or otherwise tampered with during packaging and delivery.

After Finding Shredded Ballots in the Dumpster Earlier Today, a Mysterious Fire Breaks Out at Maricopa County Official s Farm | 06 March 2021 | The Arizona Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) on Wednesday loaded its 2020 Election ballots on a truck for delivery to the Arizona Senate. After months of attempting to obtain access to the ballots, the Senate won a court case where the judge ordered the ballots to be produced to the Senate. So immediately before being told when and where to deliver the ballots, the MCBOS loaded the ballots onto a truck even though the Senate had not yet asked for the ballots. It is not believed that this move of the ballots was performed under the proper chain of custody. The ballots were then stored in an open warehouse. Individuals in the county found shredded ballots at this location, earlier today. Tonight, two barns on the farm of one of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors caught on fire.
