Georgia election officials probe claims of Bibb County voting machine security breach

The Georgia Secretary of State’s office confirmed that it is investigating a election security analyst tied to a 2020 Coffee County voting system breach who recently claimed that he also forensically examined voting equipment in Macon-Bibb County.

According to March 11 sworn testimony filed with the U.S. Supreme Court forensic analyst Benjamin Cotton mentions Bibb County among the several locations across the nation where he examined components of the Dominion Voting System that have been used in statewide elections in Georgia since 2020.

The electronic voting systems in Georgia and several other battleground states have become the target of right-wing activists who sought to gather evidence that compromised Dominion’s ballot tabulators, servers and touchscreen ballot marking devices resulted in the 2020 presidential election being stolen from Donald Trump.

In a March 28 letter to the State Election Board, Marilyn Marks, executive director for the Coalition for Good Governance and senior election security advisor for Free Speech For People, urged election officials to immediately begin investigating Cotton’s claim about Bibb County voting equipment.
