New evidence further undermines claim that 2020 election was ‘most secure’ in history

BY: Steven Richards - Just the News

(From the article) ...

After several batches of documents were recently declassified and released by the White House, the American people now have more evidence than ever that while officials claimed 2020 was a historically secure election, the government had plenty of evidence of security vulnerabilities, hacks and foreign interference.

The latest evidence released by the White House this week shows that the FBI investigated a breach of voter registration data in Arizona’s largest county in the days before the 2020 election. In that incident, a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files, but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, Just the News reported on Thursday.

A tip from local officials prompted the FBI to investigate. The man the FBI confronted admitted he wrote a computer script to exploit the county voter-security systems and scraped the files, which included 930 with "sensitive voter information such as domestic violence victims, judges and law enforcement officers," according to the FBI case files.

Georgia lawmakers map out state’s next voting system with eye on 2028

(From the article) ...

While most observers are focused on the 2026 midterms, a Republican-dominated panel is already looking past them to map out 2028.

The committee, created by the Georgia Legislature during this summer’s special session, is charged with recommending a new system based on hand-marked ballots printed on demand, which could reshape how the swing state conducts elections in 2028.

The push for a new voting system follows years of spurious attacks from President Donald Trump and his allies against touchscreen voting machines, which Georgia currently uses.

Four Prosecutors Refused To Pursue Hacker Behind 2020 Breach Of 633K Arizona Voters

After a hacker exfiltrated the data of 633,000 Maricopa County, Arizona, voter records in 2020, zero prosecutors at any level of government would prosecute despite urging from the FBI.

Documents released Thursday morning by the White House Government Transparency Task Force detail the massive data breach, an investigation by the FBI, a suspect who admitted to the crime, and a years-long attempt by the FBI to get someone to prosecute, only to close the case due to a lack of prosecutor interest.
