We have been covering, in some<\/a> detail<\/a> of late, the disturbing case of the election server in the state of Georgia being “wiped clean”<\/a>, as AP was first to report, just days after the filing of a lawsuit [PDF]<\/a> following concerns about the veracity of election results in the highly-contested June U.S. House Special Election in GA’s 6th Congressional District, as well as last year’s Presidential race in the state.<\/p>\n

The deletion of the server and its two backups<\/i>, remains a bit of a mystery for the moment, in that we still do not know who ordered it or why. And, last night, AP followed up with a new report<\/a> that the state Attorney General who had previously served as the attorney in the case for defendant Brian Kemp, GA’s Republican Secretary of State, has quit the case for some unknown reason.<\/p>\n

All of that<\/i> comes on the heels of revelations by Kim Zetter at Politico<\/a> that the server itself, run by Kennesaw State University’s Center for Elections, which has been contracted for some 15 years to program all<\/i> of Georgia’s 100% unverifiable Diebold touch-screen voting and tabulator systems, was left open and completely vulnerable on the Internet for at least<\/i> six months, as of August 2016, when Kennesaw was initially warned about it by data researcher Logan Lamb. Nonetheless, Kennesaw did nothing to protect that server from outside manipulation, even after beingn warned that the personal voter registration data for 6.7 million GA voters was available to anyone, along with the ballot definition programming files for the state’s easily-hacked voting machines and<\/i> the administrative passwords to access all of those systems!<\/p>\n

We’ll be discussing these new details and more on today’s BradCast<\/i> with one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. But I was really<\/i> happy to see Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal<\/i> last night cover the issue as well, along with the desperate need for hand-marked paper ballots<\/i> in the state of Georgia! (And everywhere else!) So I want to post it in full here.<\/p>\n

Here’s Sam Bee’s segment, which, I suspect, long-time BRAD BLOG<\/a> readers and BradCast<\/i><\/a> listeners will particularly appreciate…<\/p>\n
