The widening of the probe highlights the latest case in which unauthorized people appear to have gained access to voting equipment since the 2020 election.
ATLANTA — The prosecutor investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 election in Georgia is seeking information about the alleged involvement of a Trump ally in the breach of voting equipment at a county roughly 200 miles south of her Atlanta office.
Emails and other records first reported this month by The Washington Post and also obtained by The Associated Press show that Powell was involved in arranging for a team from data solutions company SullivanStrickler to travel to the county's elections office. In an email sent to Powell on Jan. 7, 2021, SullivanStrickler COO Paul Maggio said he and his team were"on our way to Coffee County Georgia to collect what we can from the Election/Voting machines and systems." He included an invoice for an"initial retainer" of $26,000 to pay for a team of four people for one day. The subject of the invoice is"Voting Machines Analysis.
"With the benefit of hindsight, and knowing everything they know now, they would not take on any further work of this kind," the statement said, adding that the company intends to fully cooperate with any investigation. The Coffee County case appears similar to breaches of voting equipment elsewhere. In addition to Georgia, these include local election offices in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Colorado.
