HUGE: Georgia Fails To Produce Chain Of Custody For 404,000 Absentee Ballots Months After Contested Election​

A report by The Georgia Star News indicated that 67.5% of the states estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballots lack chain of custody documents.

Months after the 2020 election, state and local officials in Georgia have failed to produce chain of custody documents for over 404,000 absentee votes put in drop boxes, according to a damning report by The Georgia Star News.

The report indicates that the state failed to produce chain of custody documentation for an estimated 404,691 absentee vote by mail ballots, which were placed into drop boxes and delivered to county registrars to be counted in the 2020 election.

This means that 67.5% of the states estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballot count was found to not have chain of custody documentation.

It is worth noting that the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia was decided by less than 12,000 votes, which would be nearly 3% of the 404,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited into drop boxes and counted by county registrars.

Fulton County, facing widespread criticism for various credible allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, is one of 35 scofflaw counties in Georgia that have failed to comply with open records requests and provide the absentee ballot drop box transfer forms that they were required to maintain according to the Emergency Rule passed by the Georgia State Election Board in July of 2020, according to the report.

Nearly 300 drop boxes were utilized to collect absentee ballots in the 2020 election, authorized under Georgia Election Code Emergency Rule 183-1-14-0.8-.14 approved by the State Election Board, instead of a statute passed by the Georgia State Assembly, which says that drop box collection teams “shall complete and sign a ballot transfer form upon removing the ballots from the drop box, which shall include the date, time, location and number of ballots.”

The drop boxes were stimulated in-part by donations to Georgia counties from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a 501 (c) (3) funded by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.

Zuckerberg donated nearly $350 million to the CTCL for their 2020 election efforts, with more than $25 million dollars going to the counties of Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb, according to the report.

While some Georgia lawmakers have made efforts to bolster election integrity and stifle private funding of election administrations, it is unclear if Georgia Governor Brian Kemp or Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will join the fight, despite objections by their constituents.

Republican concerns over the integrity of the 2020 election were echoed by President Donald Trump in a leaked phone call with Brad Raffensperger, who refused to acknowledge or address the credible evidence of mass voter fraud in his state, despite credible accusations of widespread voter fraud, including the infamous video in the case of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Greater Georgia demands accountability on Zuckerberg’s $5.6M donation to Raffensperger in 2020 election​

A voting integrity group, led by former GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler, is demanding transparency regarding $5.6 million donated by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office last year that was spent on the hotly contested 2020 presidential election.
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan spent a total of $45 million in Georgia during the 2020 election cycle, which included the January 2021 Senate runoff, and a watchdog group reported in June that it noticeably boosted Democrat turnout in the Peach State.

The Foundation for Government Accountability contends the grant money, given through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), in Georgia and across the country was heavily weighted toward Democratic-leaning counties. While billed as election safety grants during the coronavirus pandemic, only a small portion in any of the states the foundation examined was used for personal protective equipment.

The CTCL gave about four times more in the Zuckerberg-financed grants to blue counties in Georgia as it gave to red counties, according to the FGA analysis.
For the 2020 election, the CTCL gave about $29 million in grants to Georgia counties that Biden won, with a rate of $7.13 per registered voter. By contrast, the center gave $2.3 million in grants — averaging $1.91 per registered voter — to counties that Trump won. The counties getting the most in the lead-up to the presidential election were Fulton, Cobb and DeKalb.

"The Zuckerberg funding is an unprecedented example of using government employees and government resources to put your finger on the scale, to affect the election outcome," Tarren Bragdon, CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability, told Fox News. "It would be like giving private money to police departments to have officers do more stop and frisk in certain neighborhoods compared to other neighborhoods. It would be like giving money to the tax department to do increased audits in certain zip codes or neighborhoods versus other neighborhoods."
Overall, Zuckerberg spent $350 million in the leadup to the 2020 election.

Fulton County: Massive Last-Minute Order of over 1M Ballots Discovered​

Fulton County: Massive Last-Minute Order of over 1M Ballots Discovered

FULTON COUNTY, GA—Ever since the 2020 general election, there have been countless details, facts and records uncovered which suggest that whatever happened on November 3rd was not acceptable. As the “non-existent” evidence of nefarious election manipulation mounts in swing states, the surprises coming from Georgia are unbelievable, and the scope of election “mismanagement” is shocking. Each situation is far worse than what we would have ever thought possible.
Recently, UncoverDC reported that Fulton County paid Dominion nearly $2,000,000 to essentially staff and run their voting systems for the 2020 general election. The reason for this was because much of the County election staff was quarantined, presumably due to contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
While investigating election-related invoices for the article mentioned above, other expenses raised suspicion. One of the funding lines showed a payment to Runbeck Election Services for $223,360.90. (Readers are likely familiar with Runbeck as the company that printed and mailed the ballots for Maricopa County, AZ.). An Open Records Request for Runbeck initially returned “No Responsive Records”:

It wasn’t until another request was made detailing the amount and specific number of the purchase order that Fulton County finally produced the following document:

While the invoice seems innocuous and innocent, (a county simply ordered the printing of ballots for an election) context and timing reveal that there is much more to this than meets the eye.
It’s important to understand that Georgia has two types of voting and two types of ballots. First, is “in-person” voting which takes place on Dominion voting machines (called Ballot Marking Devices or “BMD’s”) that print the entire ballot and voter’s selections on blank 8 ½ X 11” Vote-secure paper (Left below). Second, is Absentee/By-Mail voting which is on a much larger, 18” long printed ballot (Right below). The quote above is for the latter, 18” ballots.

Fulton County, along with nearly every other county in Georgia, participated in a program through the Georgia Secretary of State’s office in which ballots were printed and mailed directly to the voter. The document below describes the program:

Here’s how it worked: voters would request an Absentee by Mail Ballot by filling out a form and mailing it to the county, or doing the same thing online through the county/Georgia Secretary of State website. The information would then be submitted to the printing company who would print the ballot and mail it directly to the voter.
The program received its final ballot orders on October 16, 2020. Then, counties had to facilitate the printing and mailing of only a small number of ballots requested from October 17 until the cut-off date at the end of the month.
The Runbeck ballot order was in addition to, and separate from, the Secretary of State’s ballot printing and mailing program. The massive 17-pallet order of 770,210 Absentee by Mail ballots was delivered to the county on October 24, 2020.
There’s more. Attempting to gain a thorough understanding and through a persistent series of Open Records Requests, we received the following Invoice from Fulton County.

It is important to note that the order from Fidlar for an additional 288,700 ballots was shipped on October 20, 2020. Based upon the date shipped, the order was presumably made around the same time as the Runbeck order.
Combined, the two orders total a whopping 1,058,210 ballots!
The images below, taken shortly after the election, are from the Fulton County warehouse and only show a small fraction of the actual ballots ordered. The pictures have been circulating on the internet for some time, but the details and context surrounding the ballots were not fully understood.
[gallery type="slideshow" size="full" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="32125,32124,32122"]
With just 10 days until the November 3rd election, there was literally no way to sort, prepare, fold, stuff and mail out the ballots before the election. Especially considering there were no envelopes ordered. This fact alone removes any possibility that they intended to mail the ballots.
After sharing the Runbeck ballot order quote with others in search of answers, one of them posted it on Twitter, to which Gabriel Sterling responded:

Mr. Sterling’s explanation for the order sounds logical and plausible. Because of a problem that was discovered with the Dominion software, an update had to be installed on each of the thousands of voting machines across the state. Due to the resulting delay, there simply wasn’t enough time to perform the proper (and legally required) Logic and Accuracy Testing. Although COVID-19 may have exacerbated the problem, the core issue that caused the delay was a Dominion software failure.
A voter integrity group called Coalition for Good Governance who had been in a long-running court battle against the use of the voting machines and the Secretary of State brought the matter before the court. Because the voting machines had not been properly tested, the court could have prohibited them from being used for the election, thereby creating a situation in which voters would have had to hand-mark the absentee ballots.
It is this potential scenario for which Sterling claimed was the reason for the ballot order; however, a closer look at the record proves otherwise.
First, the issue of Logic and Accuracy Testing he claims precipitated the ballot order had already been settled by a court decision on Sunday, October 11, 2020. Judge Amy Totenberg found that the voting machines had not been tested in accordance with Georgia law but decided that the court was not prepared to prevent the voting machines from being used and deferred to the Secretary of State about the testing. Specifically, her decision stated:
“Recognizing that early voting starts on October 12, 2020 and the imminence of the November 3, 2020 general election, the Court must defer to the Secretary of State's Office and State Board of Elections determination of whether additional measures are pragmatically feasible at this juncture to strengthen the scope of L & A preparations for a general election with a huge anticipated turnout. As L & A testing has already commenced on BMD equipment to be deployed at early voting locations, the Court is not prepared to issue a ruling on the L & A testing issue purely standing on its own.”
Following the ruling of the court, early voting began the very next day using the BMD voting machines Gabriel Sterling claimed were at issue. The fact is they weren’t. The matter of Logic and Accuracy Testing was decided by the court on Sunday, BMD voting machines were used by early voters on Monday and the ballots weren’t ordered until days later—on Friday.
In other words, at the time of the orders, Fulton County was already well aware that any questions surrounding the use of the machines had already been settled because they were already in use!

Sterling’s explanation doesn’t pass the smell test for a second and separate reason. According to the Secretary of State’s website, Fulton County’s total number of ALL votes cast in the general election (including absentee, early and election day voting) was 528,777. One week before the ballot order, on October 8th, Fulton County Elections Director, Rick Barron, reported to the Fulton County Board of Elections that 183,915 ballots had already been mailed to Fulton County voters. Therefore, even if the court had ruled against the Secretary of State and prohibited the machines from being used, Fulton County would have only needed little more than a third of the 1,058,210 ballots to accommodate every single voter.
The third strike for Sterling is that no other Georgia Counties ordered significant numbers of extra ballots. In fact, Cobb County and Gwinnett County both confirmed that they only ordered the legally required number of “Emergency Ballots” (10% of active, registered voters in their county) to have on-hand for election day. This is relevant because the legal/court issue Sterling presents as the reason for the Fulton County ballot order would not have just affected Fulton County but the entire state of Georgia.
The three reasons presented above remove any logic and all credibility from Gabriel Sterling’s assertions regarding the last-minute ballot order.
The fact is, we still don’t have a clear understanding or justifiable reason for why Fulton County would order so many ballots. Consider the fact that with the massive number of absentee ballots ordered and received, one could have replaced nearly all 1.1 million absentee ballots cast in the entire state of Georgia (hint, hint).
More to come soon.

Georgia Judge Allows Challenge to Dominion Voting Machines to Continue​

NOVEMBER 17, 2023

Link: http://www.yourdestinationnow.com/2023/11/georgia-judge-allows-challenge-to.html/

A long-standing lawsuit over the reliability and security of Georgia’s elections system will go to trial in January.
The case was filed by voters who want hand-marked paper ballots to replace the existing system of machines sold to the state by Dominion Voting Systems, although as noted by the Associated Press, it began three years before the allegations over Dominion’s machines that became part of the contentious aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
On Nov. 10, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg issued a ruling rejecting the state’s position that no trial was necessary. The ruling called for the state and its critics to try to resolve their differences without a trial.

“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” she wrote.
“But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public,” she wrote.

But that seems unlikely.
“The court’s order makes it clear that Georgia’s status quo is far too risky, and that these concerning issues merit a trial. We look forward to prevailing at trial as we demonstrate why touchscreen BMDs (ballot-marking devices) cannot be used safely,” said Marilyn Marks, executive director for the Coalition for Good Governance, one plaintiff suing the state, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
David Cross, an attorney for some plaintiffs, said the court ruling noted “a long story of incompetence, conflicting claims, and misinformation.”
Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs seemed disinclined for a chat.
“We don’t negotiate with election deniers,” Fuchs said. “If they have an idea that wouldn’t take Georgia back to the days of hanging chads and stuffed ballot boxes, they should offer it.”
Amid the 135 pages of her ruling, Totenberg pushed back against labeling the plaintiffs.
“The Court notes that the record evidence does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety. Indeed, some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have provided testimony and affidavits on behalf of Plaintiffs’ case in the long course of this litigation,” she wrote.
One report was filed by Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan.
His report, produced in 2021, said Georgia’s system “suffers from critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited to subvert all of its security mechanisms,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Halderman said anyone with physical access to a voting machine had the capability to alter votes on the machine, and that someone who accessed the election management system could do more than change one machine.
According to the Associated Press, the state has said it will not install a software update that could address the issues raised by Halderman.
Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer in the Secretary of State’s office has mocked Halderman’s conclusions as “hypothetical scenarios that can’t work.”
But those pushing for change say just going to trial shows there is a problem.
“We look forward to presenting our full evidence at trial and obtaining critical relief for Georgia voters,” Cross said. “But we hope this decision will be a much-needed wakeup call for the Secretary and SEB, and finally spur them to work with us on a negotiated resolution that secures the right to vote in Georgia.”

Georgia case arguing use of electronic voting violated voters' rights, opened election to vulnerabilities, heads to trial in 2024​

Link: https://thepostmillennial.com/georg...es-heads-to-trial-in-2024?utm_campaign=64483/

The plaintiffs argue the machines could impact voters' ability to effectively cast their ballots, which would be in violation of the United States Constitution.

A federal judge in Georgia has set a trial date for the case on whether the state's voting machines are prone to cybersecurity issues. The plaintiffs argue that the machines could impact voters' ability to effectively cast their ballots. This would be in violation of the United States Constitution.

US District Court Judge Amy Totenberg set the bench trial date for Jan. 9, 2024. The lawsuit was filed by the Coalition for Good Governance, which is an election integrity advocacy group, and several individual voters. The plaintiffs are requesting the use of hand-marked paper ballots in place of electronic voting machines on grounds that the machines, which are made by Dominion, are susceptible to cybersecurity issues, according to Newsmax.

The plaintiffs hoped to come up with a resolution without the need for a trial, but Judge Totenberg issued a ruling on Friday and said: "The Court cannot wave a magic wand, in this case, to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case. But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public."

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of the State Election Board are named as defendants in the suit.

The lawsuit included an expert report that detected weaknesses in the Georgia election system. As a result, a federal cybersecurity agency issued an advisory to jurisdictions utilizing the equipment. Furthermore, the report prompted certain Georgia Republicans to advocate for the abandonment of the voting machines altogether.

Additionally, it exposed a vulnerability in election equipment in a remote county in south Georgia, which led to the indictment of former President Donald Trump and eighteen other people in Fulton County on criminal charges.

The state of Georgia has been in the national spotlight since the 2020 presidential election, following claims that the Dominion voting machines allegedly malfunctioned and improperly tabulated ballots, with some Republican voters claiming it resulted in a "stolen election."

Republicans have been criticized as "conspiracy theorists," but Judge Totenberg made it clear in her ruling, according to Newsmax, that the case "does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety. Indeed, some of the nation's leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have provided testimony and affidavits on behalf of Plaintiffs' case in the long course of this litigation."

The activists believe that, among other issues with the election process, voters are unsure if the barcode that the scanner reads truly reflects their choices. They claim that a large number of voters also neglect to review the human-readable portion, which prevents effective audits.

J. Alex Halderman, an expert witness for the plaintiffs and computer scientist at the University of Michigan, analyzed Dominion voting equipment and found flaws that he said might be used by malicious parties.

He claims that, in January 2021, a computer forensics team hired by Trump associates took data and software from election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia, and transmitted it to an unidentified number of people, increasing the risks already associated with those vulnerabilities.

A software upgrade intended to fix those vulnerabilities will not been installed by the state in advance of the 2024 Presidential Election, citing the impracticability of updating all equipment by that date.

Attorneys for the election officials have maintained that the state takes numerous precautions to ensure the integrity of its electoral system and that no election system is without vulnerabilities.

Judge Totenberg said in the ruling that even if she were to side with the plaintiffs, she couldn't order the state to implement a paper ballot system. However, the judge said that there are "pragmatic, sound remedial policy measures" she can order the state to adopt which could include eliminating QR codes on ballots and having scanners read human-legible text; using a broader scope and number of election audits; and implementing essential cybersecurity measures and policies recommended by leading experts, according to the network.

There will be no jury, since the Jan. 9 trial will be a bench trial.

BREAKING: Now There’s Proof! Brad Raffensperger Lied to President Trump When He Told Him in Jan 2021 Phone Call There Was No Fraud in 2020 Election​

By Jim Hoft Dec. 28, 2023 8:15 am

Link: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...eres-proof-brad-raffensperger-lied-president/

President Trump made an infamous call with SOS Brad Raffensperger and SOS Official Jordan Fuchs, who later lied to the WaPo about the contents of the call. She was caught when the original recording of the call was found deleted on her computer.
In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor.
There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post.

Raffensperger’s office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.

After they were caught lying to the American public, The Washington Post outed Jordan Fuchs as their anonymous source for the garbage hit piece.
Gold, Faith, and Financial Freedom — How A Faith-Based Company Is Transforming Retirement Portfolios
Fuchs provided the WaPo with a fraudulent Trump quote that the paper ran in an anti-Trump hit piece on January 9th.
They planned this to do the most damage to President Trump before the sham impeachment trial in the US Senate.

Georgia Chairman of the Republican Party David Shafer later revealed that Raffensperger and Fuchs lied to the Washington Post about Trump, demanding that they “find the fraud.”
Then, after they leaked their version of the story to the Washington Post, they deleted the audio of the call.
The audio file was later found in the laptop’s “trash” folder.

From the Washington Post:

Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job in the country right now.” A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.

This shows who Trump was dealing with in Georgia!
But that is not all.

That was NOT the only lie made by Brad Raffensperger related to that infamous phone call.
Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote published their report titled “The Aftermath” in August on the organization’s broader work in Georgia before, during, and after the 2020 presidential election.
The Aftermath report was published on August 21, 2023.

The Aftermath focused on the impact the dirty voter rolls had on the 2020 Georgia presidential election. Following the report, Democrat hitman Marc Elias filed a lawsuit against True the Vote for their efforts to clean up the voter rolls in Georgia. The Biden DOJ recently joined the Elias case against True the Vote.

The Aftermath report confirmed that Brad Raffensperger lied to President Trump about the 2020 election in Georgia in that infamous phone call.
Trending: WAYNE ROOT: What Happens In Vegas, Is Proof Democrats are Crooked Communist Traitors Everywhere
Raffensperger told President Trump that the election in Georgia was clean when he knew, in fact, that this was not the case.

Catherine Engelbrecht proved this later when she released a legal affidavit on her meeting with Raffensperger in early December 2020.
Catherine noted that she told Raffensperger in December 2020 that there were 67,284 votes cast that should likely not have been counted because the voters’ registrations were ineligible based on permanent change of residency.
But Brad Raffensperger lied to President Trump about fraudulent voter registrations on that Jan. 2nd call. Raffensperger said everything was fine when he knew otherwise!

From Catherine’s affidavit:

On that call, President Trump asked about inaccurate voter records. Both Secretary Raffensperger and General Counsel Ryan Germany stated that they had fully evaluated the various claims of election irregularities and said without qualification there was no evidence to support them, including no problems with the voting records. This statement was knowingly false. Both men were well-aware of that falsity at the time.
Sec of State Brad Raffensperger knew Georgia’s voter rolls had not been cleaned in approx two years. This would naturally cause skyrocketing errors of over 20% ineligible records across the state, based on residency alone.
In mid-December 2020, well after the General Election had been certified by Raffensperger, and in advance of True the Vote’s preparation of 364,000 voter record challenges based on ineligible residency, Catherine Engelbrecht met with Raffensperger to discuss the challenges citizens would soon be filing. His comment? ‘That seems about right. The GOP should have been doing this all along.” He knew the rolls were inaccurate. What was his excuse for not maintaining them? In 2019, Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight filed a lawsuit against the state to prevent voter roll maintenance, arguing that roll cleaning was erroneous and racially biased. The State went on to win the lawsuit in 2021, but during the period from 2019 to 2021 Raffensperger acquiesced to Abrams.

Mail ballots, drop boxes, no ID requirements, no monitoring, all catalyzed by inaccurate voter records. What actions were taken in 2020 to prevent illegal votes from being cast? Were any eligibility checks done before Georgia’s vote count was certified?
When Raffensperger asserted to President Trump that there was no election fraud, what was he basing that assertion on? If he didn’t know of the stats listed above, then he wasn’t doing his job. If he did know, then he was complicit. In either case, his assertion was untrue.
If the election had been lawfully conducted, votes from all ineligible voter records should have been challenged, with votes cast provisionally, only to be counted if proof of eligible residency could be provided.

Georgia’s lack of voter roll maintenance, together with rules that lowered identification standards for mail-in and inactive records, created an expressway for fraud.
Make no mistake, this is not the only problem with our elections, but inaccurate voter rolls are where election fraud begins.

Catherine and True the Vote published her affidavit that confirms Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger lied to President Trump during their phone call on Jan. 2, 2021.

Here are the numbers of ineligible votes from the 2020 election via True the Vote’s Aftermath Report.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger knew about these illegitimate numbers in December 2020 but lied to President Trump anyway – insisting the election in Georgia was clean! Raffensperger knew this was not true when he spoke to President Trump in early January 2021.
