It’s been more than three years since a team of Republican officials engaged in a covert operation to illegally access a rural Georgia county’s electronic elections system and appear to have made off with sensitive computer information — after briefing Donald Trump on aspects of that plan in the White House.
Yet no one — not the feds, not state elections officials, not even local law enforcement — has ascertained exactly what happened in Coffee County, Georgia, a rural patch of the politically deep red American South.
This Trump election scandal wasn’t a break-in: The head of the local Republican Party allowed a group of technicians into the one-story, windowless county elections office where they accessed government election servers and voting machines.
