CGG unearthed election software hack in Coffee County, GA.
Source code for both Dominion and ES&S has been "in the wild" for several years. The Coffee County hack occurred beginning on January 7, 2021. Doug Logan of Cyber Ninjas previously hacked the Antrim County, MI equipment and was hired to "do" the Arizona "audit" instigated by AZ Senate President Karen Fann (a fake elector) , General Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell and other indicted RICO co-conspirators in Fulton County, GA's RICO case. The fact of election source code having been released to dozens of parties unknown is not cause in itself to distrust tabulation on existing scanners and Ballot Marking Devices (touchscreens with paper trail) but that only applies in states that have meaningful hand audits, even only partial Risk-Limiting Audits. (RLAs) I see your eyes glazing over, please just listen to Marilyn Marks, Director at Coalition for Good Governance.

The "SAVE" Act is not likely to pass in the Senate, but stay posted.
On March 31, 2026, Donald Trump signed an executive order to try to restrict mail-in voting, his preferred way of voting for himself. This action will be challenged and injunctions will be issued, but election disruption is what this is. States run elections. Please call your state senators and assembly members and remind them, no, demand that the federal government stay out of state functions and respect states' rights.
This is Doris Haddock, aka "Granny D". Doris was a tireless activist to get dark money out of elections. She walked across America at age 90 and her action helped get the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill over the finish line. Unfortunately, Senator Mitch McConnell stripped the bill by promoting the infamous "Citizens United" lawsuit through the US Supreme Court. That bill had nothing to do with citizens. Its purpose was to empower corporations to have the loudest speech. Doris died at age 100, only one month after hearing of Justice Roberts' court decision sacrificing the People for power and money in politics. Rest in peace, Doris. We loved you so much.

Fun Facts
Speaker Mike Johnson was elected in the last state in the Union that still has no paper trail for federal elections.
Gerrymandering aside, it gives us cause to wonder just how much Russian vote-flipping malware is still floating around in the old DRE's, (Direct Recording Devices (touchscreens with no paper trail), for those operatives who know how to apply it.
Ballotpedia.org has lists of trifectas in states. It is worthwhile to compare the voting equipment used in states with trifectas.
Some states, like Maryland, hand-count the entire election. It's a hassle, takes a lot of humans, but it is a powerful deterrent to cyber attacks on our equipment, by actors foreign or domestic.
Hand-counting, in the end, is actually cheaper, safer and better than the complicated systems and checks we have to do to keep scanners and touch screens honest. South Carolina's 2019-2020 election equipment with contract Elections Systems and Software (ES&S) cost over 55 million to start with, and they recently added another 33 million to cover replacement units and election software maintenance contracts. Yeah, it's a lot. Hand-marked paper ballots are a better solution.
Also, prior to 2020, South Carolina had a separate software suite commissioned by the state to manage our voter registration database. It was entirely separate from our tabulation and voting system now run by ES&S. In 2020 ES&S was awared a contract that replaced that working database management company's contract and ES&S now holds the contract for the entire voter registration software suite used when we vote.
Not so fun fact, I know. More articles will follow but for now, verifiedvoting.org is where you check what equipment we use. The Verifier tool is way to go. Ballotpedia.org tracks candidates, elections, and has state trifecta charts. Th
