			<description><![CDATA[<p><br /><br />Firm s close ties to Georgia stir concerns about voting system purchase<br /><br />Jan 31, 2019<br /><br />The ES S lobbyist, former state Rep. Chuck Harper, now serves as Kemp&#x27;s deputy chief of staff. Prior to lobbying for ES S, Harper was a lobbyist for the Georgia Secretary of State&#x27;s Office under Kemp from 2012 to 2017. Kemp&#x27;s new executive counsel, David Dove, was a member of ES S&#x27; advisory board when he attended a Las Vegas conference hosted by the company in March 2017. Dove served as Kemp&#x27;s chief of staff when he was secretary of state. Kemp chose ES S&#x27; voting system for a test run during a Conyers election in November 2017. ES S is Georgia&#x27;s current election company, responsible for providing technical support and repairs of the state&#x27;s 27,000 direct-recording electronic voting machines, which the state originally purchased for $54 million from Diebold Election Systems in 2002.<br /><br />https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/firm-close-ties-georgia-stir-concerns-about-voting-system-purchase/HVK4wcNsEAKO0Xa0ptLLKM/<br /><br />... &#x5b;&#xa0;<a href="https://blogs.lotterypost.com/konane/2020/11/firms-close-ties-to-georgia-stir-concerns-ab.htm">More</a>&#xa0;&#x5d;</p>]]></description>
