The AP revealed their lack of trustworthiness and their bias with that headline.
This is exactly why I choose to listen to these hearings firsthand, with my own eyes and ears. I do NOT trust what these so-called "reporters" write.
thank goodness the Tuesday hearing was broadcast and videos are available of the actual testimony.
There will be a day that the "Associated" Press will go under exactly because of their associations with propaganda and the fact that they disassociate from the TRUTH.
The AP’s headline reads, “Arizona auditors backtrack, say no election data destroyed.”
“The claim of deleted databases was amplified by former President Donald Trump and his supporters, who believe conspiracy theories about election irregularities,” the report said.
Let’s review the facts.
At a special meeting held Tuesday by Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann and Senate Judiciary Chairman Warren Petersen to get an update on the audit of Maricopa County votes in the November general election, Ben Cotton, founder of CyFIR LLC, testified that the files were in fact deleted, but he was able to recover them.

“In the course of your analysis of the EMS [election management system] server, did you determine that the database directory had been deleted?” Petersen asked.
“I did,” Cotton answered and then offered further background information.
I hope not.
I listened firsthand to Cotton's testimony on Tuesday, so I knew the moment I read that headline that it was bogus.
It p*ssed me off then as it does now.
Now you seem to be up in arms about me being p*ssed about the same crap you're pointing out.
