A bad person with physical custody of ballots and associated records to perform an audit can also destroy or alter the ballots and/or associated records. Even if the ballots and associated records are structured and authenticated in a way which makes it impractical to convincingly alter data, ballots and aasociated records can be altered or destroyed in ways which make subsequent review impossible. That has been the main concern with ballot handling in AZ.
