The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has opened a criminal investigation into the alleged breach of voting data in Coffee County, it told the Post, which is a “computer trespass investigation” regarding the county’s election server. Under Georgia law, knowingly using a computer “without authority” or with the intention to delete, obstruct, alter or damage a computer program or data is a felony offense punishable by up to 15 years in prison or a $50,000 fine. The Fulton County District Attorney’s office has also indicated it’s looking into the Coffee County breach as part of its investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, according to court documents. Latham herself is also under investigation by the Fulton County DA’s office and federal prosecutors as one of the “fake electors,” who assembled false slates of electors in Georgia and other battleground states falsely claiming that Trump had won the state and submitted them to Congress.

..."KEY BACKGROUND
Coffee County, which Trump carried in 2020 with 69.5% of the vote, was the only county in the state that didn’t certify its election results, CNN notes. The county is one of two referenced in draft executive orders from Trump that would have ordered the Department of Defense to seize voting machines in an effort to challenge the election results, according to CNN, along with appointing a special prosecutor—likely Powell—to oversee the effort. There is no evidence to support allegations of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election or otherwise, but Trump proponents have seized on voting machines and alleged issues with them as a central part of their fraud claims, alleging that machines “flipped” votes from Trump to President Joe Biden. Those allegations have resulted in Dominion Voting Systems and rival company Smartmatic bringing a slew of defamation lawsuits against far-right figures and media outlets, including Powell.
