Fulton County Georgia Election Official Admits Chain of Custody Documents Missing for Large Number of Absentee Ballots
2021-06-15
[The Last Refuge] This admission published today will likely help the lawsuit filed by Georgia plaintiff Garland Favorito who previously won a legal fight to audit 145,000 Atlanta area absentee ballots. The county has appealed the judge’s ruling granting access, and filed a motion to dismiss the case (squashing the audit). The judge will hear arguments later this month. Today they admit 24% of the absentee ballots (one in four) are missing chain of custody documents.

GEORGIA — In a stunning admission about the critical chain of custody documents for absentee ballots deposited into drop boxes in the November 3, 2020 election, a Fulton County election official told The Georgia Star News on Wednesday that "a few forms are missing" and that "some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced."

A Star News analysis of drop box ballot transfer forms for absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes provided by Fulton County in response to an Open Records Request showed that 385 transfer forms out of an estimated 1,565 transfer forms Fulton County said should have been provided are missing — a number that is significantly greater than "a few" by any objective standard.

This is the first time that any election official at either the state or county level from a key battleground state has made an admission of significant error in election procedures for the November 3, 2020 election.

#27  I truly hope the conservative's unrelenting faith in constitutionalism in the face of sheer thuggery and third world level top down corruption, is not misplaced. I pray what Abu said can really be achieved.

#23  they admit 24% of the absentee ballots (one in four) are missing chain of custody documents.

So Georgia has no idea who won the 2020 election. Trump could have easily won (most likely that he did). Seems like the Georgia election results have grounds for decertification. Also seems like cleaning house would be a good idea.

#21  It can matter in a sense that an argument would exist for Executive Orders and new AFT guidelines can just get shoved up their asses.

A good argument could be made Senate decisions within 2 are suspect, and even the sessions in general.

And the "Mandate of the People' Palosi Agenda would not longer be.

#20  The statement as quote is NOT an admission of significant error in election procedures. The terms mealy-mouthed and weasel wording come to mind instead. I don't want the perps to admit anything -- I want to see them in prison

#19  Spoter B, I have just done my best to provide the explanation that grom requested. I don't always agree with grom but I don't like picking unnecessary fights with people and your response seems particularly unnecessary because all he did was ask a question.
Posted by: Abu Uluque   2021-06-15 12:02  

#18  Yes, grom. It matters a lot. People who perpetrated this fraud on the American people need to go to jail and this is one of the steps that must be taken to get to that point. Even the low level perps, perhaps most importantly the low level perps, need to go to jail so that everybody in the future sees that these crimes will not go unpunished, so that it will never happen again and so the next election will be free and fair and so in 2024 we can boot Biden's ass out of the White House.

#13  It doesn't matter as much as if it had been revealed six months ago, but the fact that it took seven months to corner the County so they had to admit it.

Perhaps our progressive friends will explain why it took seven months for the truth to come out?

#12  No. But Bai-Den will be proven a fake and have no moral authority (as is already the case). This should energize Reps for 2022

OK the 2020 Election is being proven fraudulent hand over fist.

But will there be a REDO or not?

#7  You may have noticed (r) my responses to your comments... "facts don't matter" (to you). You frequently apologize. Perhaps in the future you will consider mature thought. In the meantime, find a prepubescent to tutor.

"Stunning" to some possibly. I believe such an outcome was predicted here less than two weeks ago.
