Attempted breach of Ohio county election network draws FBI and state scrutiny

Source: Washington Post (No Paywall)

Federal and state investigators are examining an attempt to breach an Ohio county’s election network that bears striking similarities to an incident in Colorado earlier this year, when government officials helped an outsider gain access to the county voting system in an effort to find fraud.

Data obtained in both instances were distributed at an August “cyber symposium” on election fraud hosted by MyPillow executive Mike Lindell, an ally of former president Donald Trump who has spent millions of dollars promoting false claims that the 2020 election was rigged....

....In an interview with The Post on Thursday, Frank said he did not remember speaking to Hamercheck or have any record of the call. He said he has met so many people in the past six months that he cannot recall them all. But Frank said the version of events described in Lake County sounded “plausible” because it was “exactly the model that we did with Tina.”

Is there anything they won't do (since they're so unable to actually win elections anymore)?

was to divert attention away from the voting in a few particular other states that were using the old EIS? voting machines that were made infamous by the Bush/Cheney/EIS guy in 2000 and 2004 elections.

I would be most interested in an investigation and audit of recent and past voting for the states of Maine, Kentucky, and South Carolina.......

In the years to come, I can only imagine, that more and more will be disclosed about Russia's involvement in our voting, and the NRA's involvement in the massive amounts of money laundered through them. We also may hear about the Russian Oligarchs, US Uber wealthy, and Chinese Oligarchs sending untold amounts of money, first to the NRA, and then the NRA distributed it to various elections across the entire U.S. In return, what they got for the money was the biggest bunch of Republican and Trumphumpers politicians that money could buy.
