The data base administrator who deleted election files in Maricopa County, Arizona(Phoenix) has been identified. He did not have access to the room but was let in once by someone who did have access and used someone else's card at least one other time. Election law says that all files must be held for 22 months. Oh there was fraud and more and more is coming out.

Ben Cotton of CyFIR, which was one of the firms hired by Cyber Ninjas to conduct the review of Maricopa Coundy election records, admitted on May 18, 2021 that no data was deleted from the servers.
And this is what he said 2 months later in a very watered down report. The May date was right when the audit started, but believe the mainstream media. They are purveyors of only truth. If you believe that then I have some ocean front property in Oklahoma for you.

"Finally, digital security expert Ben Cotton was called upon to walk through the process of the forensic examination of devices used in the Maricopa County election. Cotton, in keeping with the other testimonies given during the hearing, underscored that drastic security measures were taken to ensure the integrity of all machines inspected.
"We have exactly a bit-for-bit image of these systems as we received them. We did not modify, we did not change any chips, we did not access anything other than the hard drives … If there were any changes to equipment, those would have had to occur within the custody of the board of supervisors."
The security expert noted that the forensic examination looked into any possible internet connections on devices, unauthorized entries to the system or malware, as well as conducting live memory analysis of the machines.
Cotton additionally told the Senate members that auditors found over 37,000 queries on one day for a blank password on a system that only contained eight accounts. He also explained that it looked as though several people may have accessed the machines and conducted different processes under the same account, making it extremely difficult to determine chain of custody information.
"Accountability is out the window, from an individual aspect," Cotton said."
Plus from the same article.
"During the proceedings, Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann, along with state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Warren Petersen, gave the floor to auditors who announced that as many as 74,000 absentee ballot mail-in records are missing in addition to a great many vote irregularities found by the audit."
The portion of this post relating to Ben Cotton does not include any allegation of deleted files. It is just a description of how they kept the hardware secure and an allegation of (a) lots of login attempts, and (b) a statement that "several people accessed the machines." Nothing in these statements by Cotton says that any files were deleted or missing.
The "74,000 missing ballots" is, honestly, just glaring evidence that the people making these allegations don't understand the processes they are commenting on. In Maricopa County there is a list of requested ballots and a list of submitted ballots. The requested ballots list in 2020 was not updated after October 23, but the submitted ballots list was updated through the day before the general election. the "74,000 missing ballots" (actiually 74,243 alleged by Doug Logan) is the number of ballots added to the returned ballots after October 23.
Edited to add some context to the dates. October 23 was the cutoff for mail ballot requests, but the returned ballots list included in-person early votes, which could be submitted up to the day before the general election.
