Nor USA Today or Mercury News for fact checks, apparently.
This statement, in both your sources, is pure obfuscation:
In
a May 15 tweet, Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer said Trump's statement was "unhinged."
"I’m literally looking at our voter registration database on my other screen. Right now," he said. "We can’t indulge these insane lies any longer. As a party. As a state. As a country."
Nobody had been talking about voter REGISTRATION databases being deleted.
And RAID systems are transparent to the user when accessing files that haven't been deleted--unless the password wasn't supplied. Either way, Mercury News has admitted there is at least a lack of compliance with court orders and legislative subpoenas. Which wouldn't be necessary if there were nothing to hide.
