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.

Misty Hampton told the Post that she cannot remember when the walkthrough took place or what was done during the visit but recalled giving access to Scott Hall, the owner of a Georgia bail bond business.

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

abetted by knowing criminal activity.

The Cyber Ninjas violated federal law, Title 52 and nothing was done but a stern letter.
