A "secret report" on alleged vulnerabilities in Georgia's voting equipment is sowing distrust ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, a top state official warned Thursday.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican official who has vehemently defended the integrity of the 2020 election in the face of fraud claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies, noted a connection between a high-profile Democrat and fresh doubts being cast on the security of Dominion Voting Systems machines by Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan.
"The 'secret report' referenced by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today is not an objective, academic study by a non-biased actor. It is assertions by an individual who is paid to espouse opinions supporting the elimination of electronic voting systems to help a lawsuit brought by liberal activists, including one funded by Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight Action," Raffensperger's office said in a statement.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Fair Fight Action, a group that says it is focused on fighting voter suppression, for comment. Abrams, a Democrat who is waging another campaign for governor of Georgia in 2022, is well known for her refusal to concede the 2018 Georgia governor's election.
The media report in question talks about Halderman, who is described as an expert for plaintiffs in a long-running lawsuit seeking to get Georgia to ditch electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots, being granted access to Dominion voting equipment in Fulton County for 12 weeks and producing a 25,000-word "secret report" that has been filed under seal. Halderman found that malicious software could be installed in voting touchscreens to alter QR codes printed on ballots that are then scanned to record votes, or a hacker could wreak havoc by gaining access to election management system computers, according to court records.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Georgia secretary of state’s office, a defendant in the court case, had not asked to see Halderman's findings, which U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg so far had only allowed attorneys and expert witnesses to access, and security experts raised concerns about the risk for the elections this year.

There is already plenty of evidence that it was fraud, but as usual nothing is done about it
Janet, that is because political parties hated and feared President Trump because he was trying to expose their TREASON!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever happened to the detailed investigations immediately after the 2020 election that thoroughly uncovered faults with the Dominion machines?
Whatever happened to the lawsuit that Dominion was bringing against Fox News for reporting these investigations? Did Fox produce those investigations in defense?
Inquiring minds want to know. Just asking for a friend.
Larry, fox caved and has become a minor player of the Pravda/Goebbels fake news propaganda arm of the devildemocommiecrat party!!!!!! They aren't completely evil yet but are nearly there!!!!
There may be some factual information in this report; and therefore it should not be dismissed out of hand and should be scrutinized. However if it is a non-objective, non-biased study it has to be suspect.
