Voting Equipment To Be Replaced After ‘Unauthorized Access’

 The list of suspected security breaches at local election offices since the 2020 election keeps growing, with investigations underway in at least three states

• Colorado, Georgia, and Michigan. As the November midterm election draws near, the focus is on voting protocols and tools, especially the voting machines themselves

The 2020 election is under fire from some conservative Republicans who say the numbers don't add up for Joe Biden to have defeated Donald Trump

• Both Republicans and Democrats have been accusing each other of voter fraud, and new accusations in Georgia are following old.
• Recently in Fulton County, Georgia, election officials in the state’s most populous county in and around Atlanta, said Friday that they had fired a worker after learning that “personally identifiable information was shared with an individual outside the organization."

Unauthorized access to election equipment

• Georgia’s secretary of state deemed this “unauthorized access” to the equipment that happened two months after the 2020 election.
• An investigation into the unauthorized access by former Coffee County election officials continues
• A computer forensics team hired by Republicans traveled to Coffee County, Georgia

The Fulton County official that authorized the team to assess the equipment is a Trump supporter, therefore the investigation deems the action Trump-connected

• Another scenario in the investigation is that later that month, two men who have been involved in efforts to discredit the 2020 election results also spent hours inside the elections office with access to the equipment.

Anyone who broke the law should be punished

• 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 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
