Claiming his sole focus was protecting sensitive data, he backed up the server an hour prior, handed the backup to Deputy Chief Elections Officer Roxanne Myers, then took the physical server to a muster point without informing her or the Chief Elections Officer. He later defied instructions to return it. The defense questioned his actions, noting backups existed and no audit was performed after its return. This testimony emerges amid a high-stakes trial accusing several ex-GECOM officials and political figures of manipulating Region Four’s 2020 election results.
