They've probably wiped it already. I don't know why anyone would bother with that senate race because what's the point when the outcome is rigged to whatever they want it to be
It's hard to actually wipe a drive. If they were trying to delete evidence, It'd be easier to swap out drives. The best way to erase a drive however, is to effectively rewrite over it however. If for example they simply wiped it, most if not all of the data can be recovered.
I thought with a rewrite it essentially just writes over the “dirty” layer with a clean layer. Some of the data under it may be partially corrupt but can be reconstructed?
Correct. But every "overwrite" makes preexisting data harder and harder to recover. Not sure how the data is stored but hundreds of thousands of votes may be enough to do it.
This is how the alphabet agencies destroy data without physical destruction. With a certain number of overwrites, the data is unrecoverable. And even 1 overwrite would make it very hard forensically to extract the original data. They would just find bits and pieces.

well, that is incriminating too.
Lol inspect machines and find a DOD level wipe of random 0's and 1's a thousand times in all sectors.

You mean, like, with a cloth?
