The FBI’s recent search of the Fulton County Election Hub raises significant questions about the integrity of the 2020 General Election. This search focuses on allegations of election fraud reported by sources close to the investigation. The Election Hub, operational since 2023, is now a focal point amid ongoing concerns related to the election. This scrutiny seeks to unearth potential discrepancies that some claim are far from accidental.
Joseph Rossi’s testimony at the recent hearing before the Georgia State Election Board adds critical detail. His revelation of 6,691 extra votes added to the hand recount, along with his analysis of how these ballots were combined and processed, reveals more than simple clerical errors. Rossi stated, “Is that an administrative error? I believe that was intentional human intervention.” This suggests a deliberate act rather than a random mistake, setting the stage for deeper scrutiny into electoral processes in Fulton County.
Rossi’s findings indicate serious flaws—potentially systemic—in the election process. It is alarming that Fulton County officials reportedly knew of discrepancies as far back as November 19, 2020. Emails between high-ranking election officials highlighted these issues, corroborating Rossi’s findings. This raises the troubling question: Why weren’t these problems addressed immediately? If the authorities knew of the discrepancies and failed to act, does it signify negligence or something more sinister?
More troubling is Rossi’s testimony regarding the inclusion of 3,125 duplicate ballots in the second machine count, which has now been labeled the official result. How can such significant errors be overlooked? Rossi’s efforts to pursue formal investigations feel justified in light of these shocking revelations. The formal complaint he co-authored with Kevin Moncla led to added urgency for transparency in the voting process, spearheaded by then-Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The timeline of events further complicates the narrative. The incongruences in ballot counts spill over into communications sent just hours after reporting official election results. On December 2, Fulton County tweeted that it had completed the recount, while documents suggest they were still seriously short on the number of ballots counted. This contradiction amplifies suspicions of mishandling or misreporting at best and arguably highlights a greater issue of accountability within the county’s election infrastructure.
Moreover, Fulton County’s apparent inability to produce records for ten tabulators used during the voting process is alarming. The response to open records requests turned up empty. Such missing documentation fuels the narrative of opacity in handling election data. Importantly, these tabulators are claimed to have counted over 20,000 ballots. Without clear records, it becomes increasingly difficult to trust the official count put forth by electoral authorities.
The State Election Board has begun to express unease regarding the mishandling of findings linked to SEB 2023-025 and the investigation led by the Secretary of State’s office. During the recent hearing, crucial voices like Rossi were not permitted to present rebuttals, which could have brought more clarity. Board Chair John Fervier acknowledged this oversight, emphasizing the need for open dialogue in such serious discussions.
Furthermore, Janelle King from the State Election Board pointed out that Fulton County signed a consent decree promising to improve future election management, yet many are left questioning the efficacy of such agreements. King expressed the belief that a more rigorous approach—including criminal investigations—would be warranted in light of the discrepancies. “We cannot have accountability if every single infraction is investigated by the PEOPLE INVOLVED and ends up in a ‘letter of reprimand’ or a ‘consent decree,’” she stated, underscoring the need for more stringent measures to ensure electoral integrity.
The recent FBI investigation aims to bring clarity to these allegations of fraud in Fulton County. With growing concerns over the 2020 election’s reliability, especially in this key jurisdiction, the need for thorough examination cannot be overstated. The integrity of future elections hinges on the transparency and accountability of past processes. The situation continues to evolve, and further updates from sources will be crucial to watch as this story develops.
