The ongoing situation in Georgia regarding the 2020 Presidential Election continues to unfold with increasing intensity. The Gateway Pundit has highlighted significant developments surrounding the subpoena issued by the Georgia State Election Board to Fulton County for essential election materials, including paper ballots, envelopes, and stubs. This subpoena, following a previous one in November 2024, underscores a renewed push for transparency and accountability in the state’s election processes.
In a broader context, various officials are making efforts to investigate and ensure compliance with election laws. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has formally requested that the Department of Justice look into the 2020 election in Georgia, particularly in Fulton County. Her request aligns with a previous letter sent by Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin, which asked for access to approximately 148,000 absentee ballots stored in a Fulton County warehouse. This confluence of requests demonstrates a growing urgency among lawmakers to address perceived issues surrounding the election.
Adding weight to these initiatives, Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division, has also reached out for access to crucial election records. In her published letter, she emphasizes the importance of ensuring that voting rights are protected across all elections. Dhillon references the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which grants the Attorney General authority to request preserved election records. She notes, “Transparency appears to have been frustrated at multiple turns in Georgia.” This statement highlights concerns over the lack of clarity regarding the state’s compliance with voting regulations.
The Georgia State Election Board has identified “unexplained anomalies in vote tabulation and storage related to the 2020 election.” There are multiple obstacles to transparency, including government resistance to provide requested records. Instances of obstruction have been reported, particularly concerning high-resolution scans of ballots and signature verification documentation. These details reinforce the urgency of having access to physical paper ballots for verification against potentially manipulated scanned images, as revealed through open records requests.
Speaking of transparency, VoterGA has been waiting for over 1,000 days for its case regarding the unsealing of physical ballots to be heard. This prolonged wait for legal progress emphasizes the challenges facing those seeking more transparency in Georgia’s election processes.
Recently, Steve Bannon has voiced strong criticism of the Department of Justice, labeling its dealings with Georgia officials as adhering to “their rules.” This sentiment reflects a broader frustration among some who perceive the current system as obstructive rather than helpful.
Overall, these developments point toward a significant moment in the ongoing discourse about election integrity in Georgia. With subpoenas announced and requests for intervention by a diverse group of officials, the call for accountability in the wake of the 2020 election grows louder. The question remains: will the necessary transparency finally be achieved, or will further obstacles continue to hinder a thorough examination of the ballots and election processes in the Peach State?
