Trump Operatives Considered Using Stolen Voting Data to Decertify Georgia's Senate Runoff

Testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee suggests that former President Trump participated in a meeting about accessing voting system software in Michigan and Georgia as part of the effort to challenge his 2020 election loss. Allies of Trump ultimately succeeded in copying the elections software in those two states, and the breach of voting data in Georgia is being examined by prosecutors as part of a broader criminal investigation into whether Trump and his allies interfered in the presidential election there. The former president’s participation in the discussion of the Georgia plan could increase his risk of possible legal exposure there.
