A Georgia official says the county’s voting equipment will be replaced

It was part of an effort by Trump allies in a number of swing states to gain access to and copy sensitive voting software with the help of friendly election administrators.

In the latest security videos released this week, members of the team can be seen in an office processing the county’s polling stations, which contain sensitive voter data.

David Cross, an attorney representing some of the plaintiffs in the civil suits, said the copied information contained software used by all of Georgia’s 159 counties. According to Mr. Cross, software and other data was uploaded to the Internet by SullivanStrickler after being copied, creating the potential for tampering with the system anywhere in the state. No evidence of such manipulation has surfaced.

Mr. Raffensperger, named as a defendant in the lawsuit, said in his statement Friday that Coffee County’s election administration server and a central scanner workstation have already been replaced. The new replacement equipment, he said, will include ballot markers, printers, district scanners, ballot pads, flash cards and thumb drives.

Marilyn Marks, executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said in a statement that Mr. Raffensperger’s move was “many days late and many dollars short.”

“Starting out with new touchscreens and scanners only to expose them to a suspected contaminated server makes little sense to anyone remotely concerned about voter security,” she said.

SullivanStrickler, the data company, has denied any wrongdoing. In a statement Tuesday morning, the company said it received a subpoena from a special Fulton County grand jury convened by Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney who is leading a full criminal investigation into Mr Trump’s efforts and his allies to reverse Mr. Trump’s narrow election loss in the state.
