And\n because Georgia uses one voting system statewide\, the software stolen\n from Coffee is the same in use across the state. Remarkably\, even\n though the crimes were caught on surveill ance camera\, the security\n breach did not come to light until 15 month s later\, when the\n plaintiffs in the civil litigation\, Curling v. Raf fensperger uncovered\n not just the surveillance camera footage\, but em ails\, documents and\n contracts that showed this was an extensive and c oordinated plot to\n unlawfully take voting software from Georgia and ot her states too.\n Despite the extensive evidentiary record the plaintiff s have\n developed\, neither the local DA or the state Attorney General sought\n to charge these crimes. However\, Fulton County District Attorn ey Fani\n Willis included computer trespass\, computer identity theft an d\n computer theft alleged in Coffee County as predicate crimes in her\n RICO indictment\, charging four individuals specifically with that\n element of the conspiracy. Two of those charged\, Sidney Powell and\n Sc ott Hall\, have pleaded guilty. This panel will explain how these\n even ts took place\, and how they were uncovered\, not by the Secretary\n of State\, other election officials or federal or Georgia law\n enforcement \; but by a small non-profit and its fellow plaintiffs and\n attorneys i n civil litigation. The presentation will also discuss how\n these event s are connected to other voting system software breaches in\n other stat es\, and what this could mean for the 2024 elections and\n beyond.\n\n Speakers:Susan Greenhalgh\,Anna Bower\,Rich DeMillo\,Marilyn Marks\n\n SpeakerBio: Susan Greenhalgh\n\n Susan Greenhalgh is the Senior Advisor on Election Security for Free\n Speech For People.
