Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Now that is interesting (much more so to me than ballots being delivered @4 am, etc.).
There's always a paper trail, I don't know the laws for AZ specifically, but if there was any fraud they can't hide it indefinitely from auditors. I don't know of any party that's not full of cheating liars, so it's kind of important.
As to it being a cover up, I think Liz is attributing malice to something easily explained by regular stupidity and incompetence. Auditors should be able to note discrepencies between provided data and voter registration rolls; hopefully this was discovered by the auditors themselves (as that's their job).

the slow endless death march of the uniparty is nothing next to the slow endless death march of auditors
the uniparty merely adopted the bureaucracy
auditors were born in the buraucracy, molded by it

I still don't think they let it fall though. If you wanted to default as a strategic action to assert authority it would happen under a different admin. Do you think we actually will let it default?
Edit: That took far too much effort to write. Need to lay off the rum. Will they just fire me for the jab already? Working fridays while hung over is such a drag.

Strangely enough, letting it default under Sniffy Joe the Pretend President *MIGHT* be the best thing to do.
Here me out.
let it default. Let the shit melt down.
Jump up and yell "OH SHIT, BIDEN'S SENILE AND THE VOTES WERE RIGGED!" and throw his old senile ass under the convoy of semi trucks running down the highway, AND ditch Cum Catcher Copmala.
Then hand it off to the Republicans and then they can spend the next 2-6 years going "Well, what's your fucking plan? You're so fucking smart..."
They can win, but that would keep them from losing.

The Republicans don't have to do anything for the next year, Biden and company are fucking everything up all on their own.
Fuck it, I even miss Carter now. That's how bad it is. At least he wasn't senile.

Ooof, this is painful.
"We deleted the files because we had already archived them."
"Oh, can you show us the archived files?"
"No, you only asked for the files that hadn't been deleted."
"But you weren't supposed to delete them."
"We deleted them to make space for the next election."
"But you only deleted 2020. The older elections were still on there."
"Well, we archived the 2020 ones, so ..."
"So you pretended to delete them to avoid the subpoena?"
"We just gave you what you asked for."
"Can we see the archives?"
"No."

There was at least one tweet from some media thing covering it as "Biden taunters take over chanting at race"
Edit: I was a little off on both accounts as it was trending on twitter

but yeah LETS GO BRANDON has def hit the groundwater and can never be removed
I have heard peak boomer talk radio make LETS GO BRANDON jokes. Not even hosts. Just some rando calling local show for the contest night brainstorming "ask a politico a question" and somebody is like "I want to ask Joe if he can translate that chinese saying everybody's chanting 'lets go brandon' is that mandarin or what but he can probably do it lolololol"

The only good thing is these types are never quite as smart as they think they are, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten to this point, where they're being interrogated. If there was an systemic support for this audit they'd be rotting in a jail cell for violating the subpoena.

They had to delete the data to make room for the next election (which apparently was right after the 2020 one).
Okay, let's work this out. Let's say a user's choice can be represented by one UUID, which is basically just a really large number. UUIDs are 128 bits, or 16 bytes, large.
Now let's say that each Arizona state voter had to make 30 choices on their ballots. So choosing a President, Vice President, congressassholes, state-level polishitians, yes or no choices on ballot measures, etc. Heck, let's be generous and bump that up to 50. So a user's entire voting record is 50 x 16 = 800 bytes large. Let's double it to account for database overhead and, I don't know, maybe the creators of these things are idiots that can't make efficient database schemas - we're talking about "government work" after all. So 1600 bytes per voter.
Now how many voters are going to use a voting machine? I'm not sure, so let's do a worst-case scenario to make a dumb guess. Let's say the polling place is open for 18 hours and it's packed full of voters the whole time, but each voter is very efficient and can make all their choices in three minutes. So that's 20 voters an hour, or 360 people for the whole day.
1600 bytes times 360 people is 576,400 bytes, or (by disk space reckoning) about 576 kilobytes. (A 3.5-inch "hard" floppy disk can fit about 1,440 kilobytes of data at its highest common density format, so two elections' worth of voting machine data could easily fit in your pocket even if you limited yourself to 1986's storage media.) If the voting machine only had a 1GB disk and half of it was taken up by the operating system and other software (even though these things wouldn't need a full-sized operating system by any means), they could still store enough data for over 860 elections.
Even if my calculations are off by two orders of magnitude… that's still 8 elections.
Yeah, fuck off with the "we had to clear off space" argument, asshole.
It would have been better for her to just ignore it, or to stop recording the interview and try to do it again in a quieter place. Instead she just flagrantly denied reality and apparently expected everyone to believe her. It was the worst option. And yes, her bad choice was probably a result of her panic, but that doesn't make it less ridiculous.

Because you're intentionally ignoring that the majority of the people suffering from NYC's problems didn't fucking cause them or ask for them.
You're also ignoring that letting the problem metastasize just fucks over the rest of the state.
I'm not getting into longpost territory here, but the TL;DR is that the people of NYC didn't really get a choice in the likes of Cuomo and Deblasio shoving their fucked-up policies onto them; they (and the Dem establishment) imposed that shit without any regard for them. Even AOC didn't initially get in via the right channels; the DSA primaried her in via a district nobody gave a shit about. Even the most oldschool power-groups in NYC fucking despise the likes of the current establishment Dems.
I guarantee that if any deeper research was done into things, sweeping electoral malfeasance on par with AZ's would be found effortlessly, almost exclusively focused on keeping NYC's Dem establishment class enshrined, because there is no way anyone living in NY would come to any other conclusion after seeing, in real time, what happened here over the last three years.

That should have been their strategy to begin with. All of the current problems and crisis were foreseeable and pretty much getting rolling when the election happened. Dems could have sat back and let Trump take the heat. Yet here we are. Dems couldn't see beyond Donald Trump and shit is coming apart at the seams.
As Gehenna would point out the Dems had too many favors and deals inked from Clinton's run to not force Trump out. Luckily the Trump Curse is powerful enough to cause a Democrat civil war so it will all work out in the end.
