Unmasking Electoral Integrity: Ongoing Investigations Reveal Serious Lapses in Fulton County, Georgia’s 2020 Election Recount

Sharing is Caring!

In recent developments surrounding Fulton County, Georgia, the controversies surrounding the 2020 election recount operations are resurfacing, shedding light on serious flaws and discrepancies. Despite initial denials from the Secretary of State’s office, subsequent investigations and discoveries have prompted a closer examination of the recount’s accuracy.

Joseph Rossi, a vigilant Georgian, unearthed 36 errors in the Fulton County data from the Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA) report posted on the Secretary of State’s website. Despite initial resistance, Rossi’s persistence led to the exposure of these errors before Governor Kemp’s office. Governor Kemp responded promptly, assembling a team to verify the 36 identified errors, a process that spanned eight weeks.

The Georgia State Elections Board (SEB) initiated an investigation labeled SEB2021-181, which identified violations and errors in the 2020 election recounts in Fulton County. Further complaints, including one filed on July 8, 2022, specifically highlighted 3125 duplicate ballot counts and 17,852 votes without corresponding ballot images. This complaint resulted in the formation of investigation SEB2023-25, set to be presented to the SEB on December 19, 2023.

Despite these revelations, the Secretary of State’s office initially misled the public about the accuracy of the recounts. The subsequent validation letter from Governor Kemp’s office on November 17, 2021, triggered collaborative efforts between the Secretary of State’s office, the Attorney General’s office, and the Georgia SEB to absolve the Secretary of State from responsibility.

An ongoing inquiry, SEBBI2023-001, is addressing Election Code Violations allegedly committed by the Secretary of State. The unfolding saga raises questions about why forensic ballot audits were hindered in 2020, except in Arizona, underscoring the significance of preventing the discovery of non-conforming (counterfeit) ballots.

While the 2020 election was touted as the most secure in history, election fraud cases have emerged in New Jersey, Connecticut, Arizona, and Iowa. Recent reports of voting machines glitching and switching votes in Pennsylvania have reignited concerns. As these investigations progress, the public is left pondering the extent of misinformation and potential irregularities in other states, prompting a broader reevaluation of electoral integrity.
