US voting server in election security probe is mysteriously wiped

Let's look at the last paragraph in the article:

"As for the information itself, there is one more avenue to recover it: the FBI took a copy of the server's filesystem contents when it opened an investigation into the system back in March. So far the Feds have refused to say whether they still have that copy."

So, there is a copy available. The info has not been destroyed. And I'd guess there hasn't been time in the current news cycle for anyone to ask the FBI about that copy, so of course they have "refused" to say if they kept a copy, something the FBI is famous for always doing. Basically the FBI is a giant file cabinet and has been since J. Edgar Hoover.

It's amusing to watch people who hate Trump beyond all reason (and were sure he'd lose anyway) reduced to clawing the thin ice of "possible election server tampering." Meanwhile their own candidate might soon be facing very serious criminal charges, along with Mueller, Comey, and half the Democrats in DC apparently.
