Here's the real story:

EXCLUSIVE: GEORGIA’S VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM LIKE ‘OPEN BANK SAFE DOOR’

https://whowhatwhy.org/2018/11/04/exclusive-georgias-voter-registration-system-like-open-bank-safe-door/

Two days before the midterm elections, a series of security vulnerabilities have been discovered that would allow even a low-skilled hacker to compromise Georgia’s voter registration system and, in turn, the election itself. It is not known how long these vulnerabilities have been in place or whether they have already been exploited.

Just before noon on Saturday, a third party provided WhoWhatWhy with an email and document, sent from the Democratic Party of Georgia to election security experts, that highlights “massive” vulnerabilities within the state’s My Voter Page and its online voter registration system.

According to the document, it would not be difficult for almost anyone with minimal computer expertise to access millions of people’s private information and potentially make changes to their voter registration — including canceling it.

In this election and during the primaries, voters have reported not showing up in the poll books, being assigned to the wrong precinct, and being issued the wrong ballot.

All of that could be explained by a bad actor changing voter registration data — and at this point there may be no way of knowing if that happened.

And how did Kemp not go to prison over this??!

AND, guess who spurned federal dollars to beef up election security???

Mr. Kemp, 54 years old, was one of only a few secretaries of state who declined DHS offers to help improve the security of state voting systems in 2016, as reports were beginning to emerge of Russia-backed hacking of state election systems. And in December 2016, Mr. Kemp accused DHS itself of hacking into his office’s network, which the department’s inspector general later concluded wasn’t a cyberattack but residual traffic from a government employee doing a proper check of the state’s firearms database.

1. One Thing is Certain, Republicans Will Cheat to Win

[Roland99]

2. Which is why gubernatorial and state legislature races are, imo, more important!

They lay the groundwork for removing obstacles and disenfranchisement that feed into federal races

[KPN]

13. They will worse than cheat. They will commit

crimes to win.

[Hoyt]

3. Lord I hope KKKemp is rejected.

[MagickMuffin]

4. Gee Whiz Wally, isn't it somethin' that the SOS is overseeing his run for Governor???

It's soooo unacceptable that Kemp is in this position where he can abused his current office to subvert the will of the people!

[Baitball Blogger]

5. You know how Republicans operate. They are going to blame the Democrats to cover their own

criminal behavior. This is not good.

[2naSalit]

6. Clearly abuse of power....nt

[Roland99]

7. He's trying to play Comey

[StevieM]

8. He really is a fascist. He's just like Kris Kobach. (eom)

[uponit7771]

18. +1, I get their pics mixed up

[kimbutgar]

9. He sounds desperate as if he knows he's going to lose and he can't surpress all those votes

Against him,

The only cyber attacks are by repukes and the Russian hackers.

[renate]

10. But if this were true, wouldn't this reflect poorly on him as SoS?

I believe elections without a paper trail could be hackable, but who’s in charge of elections in Georgia? Hmmm....

[The Liberal Lion]

11. Oh you didn't know that Kemp has launched a criminal investigation into this....

...against the democrats!
This is a template for what it will be like after the election wherever dems have the temerity to win. Mark my words.

[greymattermom]

12. I think Dems know this

and will be tough. Eventually bullies lose when their targets don't back down.

[ecstatic]

14. Yep. And Kemp REFUSED federal assistance to fix vulnerabilities

Insisting, "I've got this!" Kemp- You're done, @sshole!

[Bettie]

15. So, Kemp is the one who has to certify results

right?

Is he even going to certify his loss? Or will he just attempt to declare himself the winner?

There was a time I would never think that this could happen, but times are not what they once were.

[Roland99]

16. SO sick of these Repuke SoSes. Kathleen Harris (2000). Strickland (2004)

17. "potentially make changes to their voter registration -- including canceling it"

[Roland99]

19. Guess who spurned federal dollars to beef up election security???

Go Stacey!

22. UPDATE!! Georgia Officials Quietly Patched Security Holes They Said Didn't Exist

Georgia Officials Quietly Patched Security Holes They Said Didn’t Exist
https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-officials-quietly-patched-security-holes-they-said-did-not-exist

ProPublica’s review of the state’s voter system followed a detailed recipe created by the tipster, who was described as having IT experience and alerted Democrats to the possible security problems. Using the name of a valid Georgia voter who gave ProPublica permission to access his voter file, reporters attempted to trace the security lapses that were identified.

ProPublica found the website was returning information in such a way that it revealed hidden locations on the file system. Computer security experts had said that revelation could give an intruder access to a range of information, including personal data about other voters and sensitive operating system details.

ProPublica’s attempt to take the next step — to poke around the concealed files and the innards of the operating system — was blocked by software fixes made that evening. According to the tipster’s recipe, it was also possible to view a voter’s driver’s license, partial Social Security number and address.

...

ProPublica’s test on Sunday found traces of the same vulnerabilities the tipster described in his digital recipe. Details of the alleged vulnerabilities were provided to ProPublica by the website WhoWhatWhy.org, which first reported on the security issues this weekend.

And their claim of making changes all the time is BULLSHIT!
