APNewsBreak: Georgia election server wiped after suit filed
A computer server crucial to a lawsuit against Georgia election officials was quietly wiped clean by its custodians just after the suit was filed, The Associated Press has learned.
The serverās data was destroyed July 7 by technicians at the Center for Elections Systems at Kennesaw State University, which runs the stateās election system. The data wipe was revealed in an email ā sent last week from an assistant state attorney general to plaintiffs in the case ā that was obtained by the AP. More emails obtained in a public records request confirmed the wipe.
The lawsuit, filed by a diverse group of election reform advocates, aims to force Georgia to retire its antiquated and heavily criticized election technology. The server in question, which served as a statewide staging location for key election-related data, made national headlines in June after a security expert disclosed a gaping security hole that wasnāt fixed six months after he reported it to election authorities.
