In the heart of Fulton County, Georgia, a region notorious for its election irregularities, it has been confirmed that a minimum of 315,000 votes were unlawfully certified in the 2020 election.
This revelation has sparked a fresh wave of controversy in a state already marred by election disputes.
According to Gateway Pundit, the 2020 election saw President Biden clinch victory in Georgia by a slim margin of 11,779 votes. In Fulton County, Biden secured 380,212 votes, significantly outpacing Trump's 137,247 votes.
However, the recent admission implies that a staggering 60% of the votes in Fulton County were illicitly certified.
The shocking revelation came to light during a Georgia State Election Board Meeting held on December 9. Ann Brumbaugh, the attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, acknowledged the violation. David Cross, an investigator from VoterGA, had previously testified before the board about a complaint he filed in 2022.
He alleged that vote tabulator tapes were not correctly certified and signed, thereby breaching Georgia law and disrupting the chain of custody for the tapes.
Cross informed the board, "Our group paid Fulton County $15,800 in an open records request where the county turned over 77 megabytes of records, every tabulator tape representing 315,000 votes." He further stated that Fulton County failed to produce any signed tabulator tapes from early voting, which are crucial as they serve as the sole legal certification of the reported totals' authenticity.
Brumbaugh conceded, "We do not dispute that the tapes were not signed. It was a violation of the rule." She further explained that since 2020, Fulton County has implemented new leadership, a new building, a new board, and new standard operating procedures. Training has been enhanced, and poll watchers are now specifically trained to sign the tapes at the start and end of the day.
This revelation comes amidst an ongoing Department of Justice investigation seeking to inspect the records and ballots from the 2020 election, currently in the custody of the Fulton County Superior Courts Clerks Office. The situation was further complicated last month when a heated exchange broke out at a Board of Registration and Elections meeting, fueling even more suspicion.
The Federalist reports that Georgia's Secretary of State Office investigated the alleged failure to sign tabulation tapes and substantiated the findings. Fulton County was found to have violated Official Election Record Document Processes when it was discovered that 36 out of 37 Advanced Voting Precincts in Fulton County failed to sign the Tabulation Tapes as required by statute.
Georgia law mandates that election officials print three closing tapes at the end of each voting day from each ballot scanner. Poll workers must sign these tapes or provide a documented reason for refusal. Voting laws also require poll workers to print and sign a "zero tape" at the start of each voting day, indicating that voting machines are starting at zero votes.
Cross emphasized at the Dec. 9 hearing, "These signed tapes are the sole legal certification that the reported totals are authentic. Fulton County produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting."
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Che Alexander, the Fulton County Clerk of the Courts, to enforce an October subpoena for "all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County," as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
As this story continues to unfold, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and adherence to legal procedures in maintaining the integrity of our democratic processes. The implications of these revelations for future elections, and for the public's trust in the electoral system, remain to be seen.
