Another conspiracy theory proven true. I know that this news is a little stale, but reports are that Fulton County in Georgia, which has been under suspicion for numerous voting shenanigans connected to the 2020 election (including videos of suitcases of ballots being wheeled in after observes had been asked to leave after a "broken" water pipe) has admitted to certifying some 315,000 early votes despite the absence of poll worker signatures. "For context," the article adds, "Joe Biden won Georgia by less than 12,000 votes. Georgia has 16 electoral votes, and Biden won the Electoral College 306-232." Interestingly, "the unsigned tapes — around 130 of them from voting machines — accounted for some 315,000 early voters in 2020, almost every ballot cast before Election Day." "These tapes account for just over 60% of the votes cast in 2020 in Georgia’s most populous county." But that is not all:
Even besides the missing signatures, Cross found multiple other red flags in the records he reviewed. “We found identical protective counters across several different polling places, polls that were opened eight days late, polls closed at impossibly late hours, like 2:09 a.m. in the morning, and poll closing times that do not match the tapes,” he listed. “We found duplicated scanner serial numbers where the memory devices were removed from one scanner and printed on an alternate scanner.”
To these challenges, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, effectively pleaded “no contest.”
“I’ve not seen the tapes myself,” she responded, “but we do not dispute that the tapes were not signed. It was a violation of the rule. … We don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”
When Cross presented his findings to the SEB, even more irregularities came to light. “I tried to match it up, the opening and the closing [tapes] together, and I couldn’t find it,” said SEB Vice Chair Janice Johnston. “It’s not there. So, I go back to the report, and I read the report. And the investigator says, we asked for all of the opening and closing tapes, and the county reported back, ‘This is all they have,’ which is woefully incomplete.”
Georgia’s election regulations require each polling location to produce two transcription tapes, one before polls open and the other after they close. The first tape verifies that the polling machines started at a ballot count of zero (meaning any data from a previous election or sample data from a test had been erased). The second tape includes the final count of ballots cast, as well as the tally of the votes. Georgia requires each tape to be certified by the signatures of three poll workers.
And, there it is. And what will stop them? Who is going to jail over this?
