Coffee County GA in the news again. This time, for an on-line cyber attack. It took SOS days to shut down on-line access to state voter reg system. There's likely much more to learn here.

Very good work analyzing a controversy that came up during trial last month. in 2019, before the first Georgia voter cast a ballot on the new system, Fortalice had their best hacker test the system. The CIO, who arranged the test, claims to have never read the report. read on...
📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢 Why are officials from SoS covering up the 2019 Fortalice Assessment that was done on Dominion? They objected to questioning about the report and had Judge Totenberg seal it. The SoS contracted the report. Word is the SoS contractor Fortalice was able

Just out - summary from @TimothyJPratt , the reporter who spent the most time observing this case. ‘Nightmarish' or simple switch? After voting machine trial, a federal judge’s decision may lead to Georgians using paper ballots https://t.co/AKDXM303fp via @AtlCivicCircle

@USCivitas @MarilynRMarks1 Listen to @philipbstark on Monday. We support adding more robust audits. But, as Stark will testify, audits of unreliable ballots cannot confirm correct outcomes. BMDs cannot produce reliable ballots.

It’s true that some Japan government agencies make such a statement, but the numbers are based on a refuted theory that quakes occur in cycles and are hence meaningless. Please see our paper. https://t.co/T2bQLs3OuS

Please stop propagating misinformation. Your otherwise good article states: “Seismologists believe there is a 70% chance of a massive earthquake hitting the Tokyo metropolitan area within the next 30 years, killing up to 23,000 people ….” This is incorrect. 1/2

4/ Please support our very effective David and Goliath efforts as our legal team seeks the "ultimate fact check" of Raffensperger's many unsupported claims about his hand-picked voting system and the Coffee breaches. https://t.co/I25R6f1FwD ⬆️

3/ Raffensperger seems to have a hard time "walking the talk." In his book he writes that the truth comes out under oath in courts, where the "ultimate fact check" occurs. ( A fact-check he wants to avoid about Coffee County and voting system security.)

Yet the GBI report on the Coffee County breach seems to reflect a badly inadequate investigation. Memo to Georgia Attorney General @ChrisCarr_Ga: You have been ill served by your investigative department. There’s still a lot of work to do. https://t.co/yldt9q4Rv6

At almost 400 pages, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation report on the Coffee County caper looks impressive. It’s not.
