According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, texts obtained by the website between a former Georgia Republican county chair and an election board member revealed they were plotting to allow pro-Donald Trump outsiders access to the county's election computers.

As the report reveals, those text messages were flying back and forth on Jan 6th as the Capitol in Washington D.C. was under siege to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election that saw Trump lose re-election.

As Pagliery notes, the Washington Post has reported that "the Secretary of State’s office was investigating the matter. But the previously unreported text messages shed new light on who arranged the possibly illegal access to the computer and who was on the team that traveled south to do it."

According to the new Beast report, "The text messages acquired by The Daily Beast show two separate conversations in which former Coffee County GOP chair Cathy Latham and elections board member Eric Chaney lay out a plan to bring in a team of computer experts to access the computer voting system. The Daily Beast has verified that the conversations were real and remain stored on an iPhone."

6. This is exactly what Republicans are planning doe both 2022 and 2024.

That’s why they’re running so many candidates in multiple states for Secretary of State to oversee elections—and to bring in people to change votes in the computer systems to ensure that every Republican wins. We need a completely different setup for our elections outside the control of wither party. This Republican nonsense is turning the country into a third-world plutocracy where only the crooks win.

8. Well said. We need to prepare for election security like we've never prepared before

They have been completely out in the open about the plans they're making to steal elections from now on. What they tried the last time didn't work, but they came frighteningly close, and they learned from those mistakes. '

7. I wonder what they have planned across the US for the mid-terms.
