You’re listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.
In a follow up to our past reports on Coffee County, GA, Monday’s RICO indictment of former President Donald Trump includes evidence of alleged COORDINATION of voting machine tampering by Trump’s legal team, and indictments of lead actors involved in the alleged access to, and tampering with the county’s ballot tabulation machines.
Indicted Attorney Sidney Powell allegedly initiated the effort to breach Coffee County’s voting data by hiring Atlanta legal tech firm Sullivan-Strickler to coordinate the tampering effort. Tampering suspect Scott Hall has been charged with conspiracy, computer trespass, conspiracy to commit election fraud, among several other charges. Coffee County Elections Director Misty Hampton, who allegedly invited and gave access to the tampering team, faces similar charges.
Also among the indicted is Cathleen Latham, then chair of the Coffee County GOP, who faces the same computer theft and conspiracy charges, but also impersonating a public officer, forgery, and filing false statements charges.
Notably absent from the indictment were Doug Logan, founder of Cyber Ninjas, and Paul Maggio, mentioned only in the indictment as “Chief Operations Officer of SullivanStrickler LLC,” whom the indictment indicates was the point person at the firm and was allegedly present in the Coffee County elections office. Logan was given access two weeks later, and was allegedly involved in a similar tampering incident in Michigan, but has not been charged in either case.
