In a Nov. 17 memo, Georgia Elections Division Director Chris Harvey directs counties to not share voting machine data information. 

“Multiple counties have reported receiving Open Records Requests asking for data information such as, copies of original software for the voting equipment, copies of any software patches performed on Dominion voting machines in the State of Georgia prior to the November 3, 2020 General Election, as well as copies of any thumb drives provided to you containing software or software updates,” the memo reads

Dominion Voting Systems machines have been of concern to many involved in the election process. 

The company’s machines were rejected in Texas. 

“Under the Open Records Act, providing copies of software, software updates, or thumb drives containing software or software updates is not subject to open records requests,” the memo says. “In addition, information that could harm the security of election equipment cannot be provided.”

In a recent tweet, Donald Trump recently singled out the voting machine company.
