Republicans made eight attempts to breach voting systems in five different states, in search of evidence to support the conspiracy theory that voting machines somehow flipped votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to a Reuters investigation.
Trump allies targeted voting systems in Colorado, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. At least five of these incidents are under investigation by federal or local law enforcement. Four of the breaches forced officials to decertify or replace voting equipment due to security concerns. All of them involved Republican officials or party activists who have pushed false claims about Trump's election loss.
