(AP) 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 server’s data was destroyed July 7 by technicians at the Center for Elections Systems at Kennesaw State University, which runs the state’s election system. The data wipe was revealed in an email sent last week from an assistant state attorney general to plaintiffs in the case that was later obtained by the AP. More emails obtained in a public records request confirmed the wipe.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, mostly Georgia voters, want to scrap the state’s 15-year-old vote-management system — particularly its 27,000 AccuVote touchscreen voting machines, hackable devices that don’t use paper ballots or keep hardcopy proof of voter intent. The plaintiffs were counting on an independent security review of the Kennesaw server, which held elections staging data for counties, to demonstrate the system’s unreliability.

Wiping the server “forestalls any forensic investigation at all,” said Richard DeMillo, a Georgia Tech computer scientist following the case. “People who have nothing to hide don’t behave this way.”

STATE SECURITY

The server data could have revealed whether Georgia’s most recent elections were compromised by hackers. The plaintiffs contend results of both last November’s election and a special June 20 congressional runoff— won by Kemp’s predecessor, Karen Handel — cannot be trusted.

Are you going to make about a point about the time Republicans did it or the time Democrats did it? I assume that since you sound pissed off and indignant and are not ignoring/pretending it didn't happen/deflecting you are going to make a point about the time you say Dems did it amirite?

More evidence that we need to go back to actual polling places, with actual paper ballots.

I would advocate a purple thumb too.

updated, cyber-secure voting machines are fine, but Repugs refuse to spend the money, they like their voting machines fully hackable by themselves

also, electronic voting machines must have a paper trail.

but the biggest problem is the massive voter suppression the red states are running through Krazy motherfucking Kobach and Pence.
