Earlier this week, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center. This action has drawn attention and sparked conversations about the integrity of the electoral process in Georgia, especially concerning the controversial 2020 Presidential Election.
The basis for the FBI’s search reportedly stems from a document related to Georgia State Election Board Complaint 2023-025. The Gateway Pundit, which has closely followed this story, obtained a detailed report delivered to the Department of Justice and the FBI. This report outlines potential violations of law during the 2020 election in Fulton County and appears significant in establishing probable cause for the warrant.
One serious allegation arises from the installation of untested software on ballot marking devices. According to Count 1 of the report, on September 30, 2020, the Secretary of State directed county officials to deploy software that had not undergone proper testing or certification. This untested software, installed on 34,000 devices, raises questions about compliance with O.C.G.A. § 21-2-374. Such a direct accusation underlines the potential vulnerabilities present in Georgia’s election infrastructure.
The report details numerous troubling findings that raise doubts about the 2020 election’s integrity. These include failures to carry out essential Logic & Accuracy tests and perform signature verification, which are mandated by state law. Additionally, allegations of swapping memory cards during live elections and tampering with security seals exacerbate concerns over the reliability of the election processes. The presence of 20,713 ballots with no documented provenance is particularly alarming.
Reports of discrepancies in ballot counts are also troubling. Documentation indicates that Fulton County recorded over 22,000 more ballots than the number of voters who participated. Furthermore, issues surrounding the recount reveal missing ballot images and the repeated scanning of 3,930 ballots. Such findings create a narrative that suggests a chaotic and poorly managed election environment.
While mainstream media and some officials claim that investigations yielded no evidence of fraud in Georgia, the report’s revelations cast doubt on these assertions. Much of the public’s trust in the electoral process hinges on transparent and verifiable practices. The alleged mismanagement and potential criminal actions detailed in this report lead to valid questions about the verifiability of the election results in Georgia.
The implications of this FBI raid are further heightened by the political landscape. Concerns over electoral integrity contribute to fears about future elections. Whether or not Donald Trump would have won the presidency even without the alleged issues in Georgia, the outcome of the state played a critical role in shaping the current political balance. With the U.S. Senate under Democrat control following the runoff elections, the ramifications of the 2020 election extend beyond the immediate results.
Reactions from prominent figures highlight the gravity of the situation. Some politicians express concern that the FBI’s search signifies deeper issues at play. Statements from politicians like Jon Ossoff signal a belief that this event could disturb the upcoming midterm elections. The raid represents a significant escalation in the discourse around election integrity and has the potential to influence the public’s perception of the electoral process moving forward.
In summary, the FBI’s search of the Fulton County Election Hub is not just a procedural move; it questions the integrity of one of the most consequential elections in recent history. The allegations made in the accompanying report necessitate a thorough examination of the electoral practices in Georgia and, perhaps, a broader reflection on the public’s trust in electoral systems nationwide.
