- Georgia's elections board won't be investigating two groups' allegations against a Hall Booth Smith lawyer.
- The groups wanted the board to investigate any role the lawyer had in the alleged breach of a Georgia voting machine in 2020.
- The county's elections supervisor said the breach did not happen.
Georgia's elections board won't be investigating two groups' allegation that a Hall Booth Smith lawyer's private text message in 2020 suggests he may have withheld information about an alleged voting machine breach similar to a high-profile breach in a neighboring county.
Additionally, the election supervisor for Ware County, Georgia, said the alleged breach in December 2020 never happened and that he was not familiar with the text message found during discovery in a long-standing lawsuit seeking to end the use of computer-based voting machines in Georgia.
