A former Georgia county elections supervisor opened her offices to an election-denying businessman shortly after the 2020 presidential election, granting access to voting equipment that election-deniers claim was vital to rigging the election, according to a Washington Post report.

1. a combination of a stunning level of ignorance and incompetence,

abetted by knowing criminal activity.

2. How many other systems have been breached?

I think we KNOW CO, AZ, GA

3. We know of 8 breaches in 5 states,

This was all made possible by DOJ allowing a pro-Trump fake company have access to ballots, voter information, election material and equipment which should have remained in the possession of election officials for 22 months. The Cyber Ninjas violated federal law, Title 52 and nothing was done but a stern letter.

4. "Hampton said that she was unaware that the visit might contravene the state's guidance"

Excuse me while I

5. Ignorance is no excuse.

Good luck trying to tell a jury or a judge how letting some rando guy walk in and inspect voting equipment unsupervised. I'm sure she had some training on that, which would not be babysitting, but rather, ensuring election integrity. This woman is unfit to work, well, anywhere a brain is needed.
