Security footage shows Georgia county Republican chair, election official present during breach of voting equipment
PBS, Politics Sep 6, 2022 12:40 PM EST
ATLANTA (AP) Two months after the 2020 presidential election, a team of computer experts traveled to south Georgia to copy software and data from voting equipment in an apparent breach of a county election system. They were greeted outside by the head of the local Republican Party, who was involved in efforts by then-President Donald Trump to overturn his election loss.
A security camera outside the elections office in rural Coffee County captured their arrival. The footage also shows that some local election officials were at the office during what the Georgia secretary of states office has described as alleged unauthorized access of election equipment.
Security footage from two weeks later raises additional alarms showing two people who were instrumental in Trumps wider efforts to undermine the election results entering the office and staying for hours.
The security video from the elections office in the county about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta offers a glimpse of the lengths Trumps allies went to in service of his fraudulent election claims. It further shows how access was facilitated by local officials who are entrusted with protecting the security of elections while raising concerns about sensitive voting technology being released into the public domain.
Georgia wasnt the only state where voting equipment was accessed after the 2020 presidential election. Important information about voting systems also was compromised in election offices in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Colorado. Election security experts worry the information obtained including complete copies of hard drives could be exploited by those who want to interfere with future elections.

I think that if Trump ever realizes he is NOT Stupendous Man, it will crush him n/t
