This is not backed up with any proof. Kemp is just going by Trump's playbook and planting the seeds now so he can claim "tampering" after he loses. It's a stunt.

The Secretary of State launched the investigation. Who is the SOS you ask?

Well it's the guy running for Governor of course.

Republicans are desperate. He has no proof and this is a political ploy and should be charged with filing a false report

So, here are the details.

A concerned citizen reported that the website was vulnerable. He sent an email about it to the Democrats. The volunteer that received the email passed it to the person responsible for such things. That person passed it to someone who passed it to the FBI, they passed it to the Secretary of State's office.

Meanwhile, that same concerned citizen apparently reported it to the Secretary of State's office also.

At about that point the Secretary of State's office decided to report to the FBI, because she had sent the initial email they had, that the Democratic volunteer tried to hack the system.

Then the techies started changing up the website code and started denying that there was ever a hole.

Kemp deserves to be out on his ass.

Here are the emails:

Here is a write up of the details:

Quote:

CNN obtained a series of emails the Secretary of State's office said led it to level the accusations of hacking into its voter registration system by the Georgia Democratic Party. The emails refer to findings by a voter who said he had discovered potential vulnerabilities in the state's voter information page and its online registration system.
That voter, Richard Wright, took his concerns to the Georgia Democratic Party's voter protection hotline to alert authorities, according to his lawyer, David Cross. Cross told CNN Wright is not affiliated with any political party and does not want to speak to any media right now. He also said that Wright has some software background, but is not a hacker.

According to Cross, Wright -- the voter whose findings prompted accusations of attempted hacking -- was looking up his own registration information on the state's My Voter Page when he discovered he could access other people's information too. The system, he found, doesn't verify who's making the query and, for that reason, it appeared to him that voters' private information could be accessed and that voter registrations could even be edited by anyone on the site.

Wright went over his concerns with Cross, who has battled with Kemp over similar issues before, including a 2016 lawsuit that alleged cyber security vulnerabilities in Georgia's voting system, at 3 p.m. on Friday. Unclear on the implications of what Wright had found, Cross brought in a cyber security firm to look at the website. While that firm couldn't verify the vulnerability either, they too saw a potential for concern, Cross told CNN.
"If Richard Wright had never contacted the Democratic Party on Saturday morning," his lawyer, David Cross, told CNN, "no one would be talking about the Democratic Party. It's only because Wright alerted them that Kemp draws it back to them."

WhoWhatWhy's story said five security experts had reviewed the Wright complaint and independently confirmed that the database is vulnerable to hacking.

One of those experts, University of Michigan computer scientist Matthew Bernhard, told the AP that anyone with access to an individual voter's personal information could alter that voter's record in the system.

Another computer security professional who reviewed the vulnerability — without attempting to probe it for fear of prosecution — is Kris Constable of PrivaSecTech in Vancouver, Canada. "Anyone with security chops would have detected this problem," he said, "so (the system) clearly has never been audited by any computer security professional."

The FBI declined to comment. A representative for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the agency had been notified, but it deferred to Georgia officials for details.

Home Land Security warned him over a year ago they were vulnerable. That corrupt SOS needs to be removed and investigated

Why has no one brought up the fact that Obama's DHS was caught red-handed in 2016 trying to hack the election systems in multiple states, including Georgia?? Fine, I'll do it:

Georgia says it's traced an attempted voter hack to the Department of Homeland Security

Indiana joins Idaho in claiming DHS tried to hack their election systems

Warner says possible DHS hacker sought voter data from KY, WV, GA

Nothing to see here, Brian Kemp is a criminal!!! :1orglaugh

Suggestion: Get some facts, people :2 cents:

Obama is no longer in office. The past is past. If you want to charge and prosecute Obama, then go ahead.

That does NOT make the shit that Kemp is trying to pull here ok. Kemp is mis-using his Secretary of State position and office in an attempt to win this election. This is corruption pure and simple and should never be approved of no matter who is doing it.

You want to talk about DHS hacking things back a few years ago? Go start a thread about it, don't try to derail this thread with your deflection just because it went sideways from where the OP wanted to take it.

"Nevermind that Democrats tried to rig the election then and are doing it now!" :1orglaugh

He's trying to prevent fraudulent votes, no matter which party. What you call deflection, I call pointing out hypocrisy. :2 cents:

No, he is trying to accuse the Democrats of hacking when he knows damn well that it was not them. He is also trying to cover his ass for not taking care of the security of the website that he was aware of since he came into office.

This has nothing to do with voter fraud. This is improper use of his office. You say you are against all the corruption but the only time you are against anything is when you can pin it on the Democrats. When a Republican is corrupt, when a Republican misuses their office you are just fine with it.

You are the hypocrite here.

And as always, please reference your signature before you post back.
