Investigation of a breach of sensitive voting equipment data in Georgia reveals the involvement of high-profile supporters of former President Trump
Georgia’s secretary of state on Friday announced plans to replace election equipment in one county followingA computer forensics team hired by allies of then-President Trump traveled to Coffee County, about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta, on Jan. 7, 2021. A company representative has said the team made complete copies of the election management system server and other election system components.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said an investigation into the unauthorized access to the equipment by former Coffee County election officials continues. Footage from security cameras shows “former election officials in Coffee County permitting access by unauthorized individuals to equipment that under Georgia law should have been secured,” the news release said.
The county’s election management server and central scanner workstation were previously replaced in June 2021, officials have said. The county will receive 100 new touchscreen voting machines, 100 printers, 10 precinct scanners, 21 tablets used to check in voters and new flash cards and thumb drives to be installed and tested before early voting begins next month.
