I can't even remember the last time a Republican resigned this quickly and willingly as a result of a scandal despite the ridiculous number of scandals. It's been decades since a Republican did the right thing.

Because it was ordered by the court and super-embarrassing in public

So? Republicans *coughTRUMPcough* routinely ignore things that are super-embarrassing and/or ordered by the court....

Are you saying Trump sets the standards, and it's expected that others are okay to follow?

Not at all. I think Trump should be held to the same standard. Why don't you? Why do you think standards should only apply to Democrats?

“While reporters were preoccupied with the spicier allegations threatening to derail the Fulton County DA’s case, the little-watched three-and-a-half-week trial revealed new information about the scope of the plot to take voting system software in Georgia by election deniers, and the jaw-dropping lack of action by Secretary of State Raffensperger to respond.

During the trial the plaintiffs presented substantial evidence showing that anyone paying attention would have noticed something was quite amiss in Coffee County, and that should have triggered an investigation by Raffensperger’s office, but didn’t.

But the trial also revealed new information about attempts to gain access to Georgia’s voting machines in other counties. Plaintiffs revealed an email chain that showed that the election supervisor in Butts County had been contacted by Georgia’s (now) Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, requesting a forensic examination of the county’s voting software. (Willis’ criminal investigation of Jones was derailed when she was disqualified from the case by a conflict of interest.) Bartow County’s election supervisor testified that he’d been asked by his local GOP chair—and several unidentified attorneys—for access to copy his county’s election software. He replied with a hard no, and reported it to the secretary of state’s office.

Plaintiffs also presented a text message from a former member of the Coffee County Board of Elections to the attorney for neighboring Ware County, with a link to a story from the Gateway Pundit. The story claimed that the Trump team had obtained a voting machine from Ware, and the message said, “You have anyone to verify through?” The Ware county attorney responds, “I will verify,” and responds with a jpeg labeled “ware-county-confirmation,” but the actual image was never provided to the plaintiffs, and can’t be viewed.

And yet, even with multiple attempts to access voting systems, which the secretary was alerted to, witnesses from the secretary’s office testified that there was no investigation opened into any of these events.”

That's the scheme.

Security through obscurity is not good security for software. The key detail in the link is they accessed these machines after the election in 2021. They were looking for flaws to back up their claims of a stolen election.
The call transcript makes clear, they had found 30,000 votes and wanted the Secretary of State to investigate and back them up.

When this gets to trial the only behavior to be considered will trump's.

Of course he should be held to a high standard; but don't use his bad, boorish behavior to excuse Fani's poor judgment.

If the state refused to step in and deal with this multi-county criminality between the Trump campaign and county elections officials then DoJ needs to step up immediately - and it also needs an investigation into why the state refused - were they complicit in the scheme?

What exactly was the scheme?
