I know you believe you are trying to shed light on something no one here is aware of. If you are posting this in good faith, then it also falls on you to dig up the rules concerning the election servers and to check whether it says that the "data has to be retained for 22 months after the election on the server" or whether it provides for maintaining the data on archives but cleaning up the server. And if they do that, do they have a responsibility to inform anyone of this and provide information on these archived locations, so that the relevant people can subpoena it if needed.

This is more for your own benefit rather than the community here, because when you ask someone for some data, and they slow pedal it, force you to subpoena it and then "archive it" and provide you the server without the data - then in this whole context the technical meanings of the words dont matter as much as the intention behind it.

And we have suffered the brunt of this in every step of the way, where words and meanings are weaponised for a particular agenda and thats what we are trying to discuss here.
