Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken a step toward addressing allegations of irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia. She submitted an official request to the Department of Justice and the FBI, urging an investigation specifically into the Secretary of State’s Office and Fulton County. Her formal request was directed to Marshall Yates, the Assistant Director in the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, and Dario Camacho, the Supervisory Official of the Office of Legislative Affairs.
This initiative follows a resolution passed by the Georgia State Election Board in July, which called for an investigation into so-called “outstanding allegations,” particularly pertaining to SEB complaint 2023-025. This complaint arose from detailed work by Kevin Moncla and Joseph Rossi from the Election Oversight Group. They uncovered significant discrepancies linked to Fulton County’s handling of the election, raising questions about the integrity of the process.
The SEB’s resolution requested the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of Georgia to enlist federal assistance in addressing claims related to violations of election law. It highlighted a serious error alleged by the Fulton County Board of Elections during the 2020 election. Although a negotiated settlement was reached by the Secretary of State and Fulton BOE, the SEB determined that these issues remain unresolved. To move forward, the SEB issued a subpoena for documents related to the 2020 elections, which Fulton County has reportedly refused to comply with.
Due to the lack of inquiries from state officials, Greene argues that federal intervention is critical. The issues at hand are vast and include unexplained election data discrepancies and procedural failures in Georgia’s electoral system. Greene’s documentation points to numerous claims of improper election conduct that suggest greater systemic weaknesses.
In the 2020 election, Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia was marked by a narrow margin of 11,790 votes, following two machine counts and a subsequent hand recount. Reports surfaced revealing that during the hand recount in Fulton County, thousands of votes initially not tallied were eventually included, which adds to the controversy surrounding the election results.
The Gateway Pundit has extensively covered SEB complaint 2023-025. They reported multiple discrepancies, such as 17,852 votes that lacked physical ballots and 20,713 votes counted from sources deemed “unreported” and “unidentifiable.” Critics argue that the ten tabulators associated with these votes have no existing records, which raises serious questions about the integrity of the election process in Fulton County.
Despite Open Records Requests filed by complainants, Fulton County’s custodian of records replied with, “No such records,” when asked for details on the tabulators in question. This lack of accountability has prompted further skepticism about the transparency of the electoral process.
Additionally, SEB 2023-025 highlighted discrepancies between the machine counts performed on election night and those conducted later. The first machine count indicated 528,777 ballots, while a subsequent count showed only 511,543—a striking difference of 17,234 votes. There were also reports of Fulton County suddenly “finding” 16,382 votes after the recount deadline had passed. This finding was associated with an email from Fulton County Elections Director Rick Barron, who communicated with an external expert shortly after the deadline—details that have led to mounting concerns regarding election integrity.
In further testimony related to the disbarment hearing of former Trump Deputy Attorney General Jeff Clark, Fulton County Board of Elections member Mark Wingate revealed alarming practices. He testified that no signature verification was performed on ballots due to malfunctioning machines intended to automate the process. Furthermore, he stated that essential chain of custody records were withheld, not just from the public, but from board members charged with certifying the election results.
Claims of illegal voting and procedural flaws have also been supported by testimony from election officials and expert witnesses over the years. Professor Philip Stark, an expert in election auditing, asserted that a considerable number of ballot images are unaccounted for, suggesting that conducting a thorough audit of the election was impossible. During legal proceedings, expert J. Alex Halderman demonstrated vulnerabilities in voting machines, showcasing how easily the systems could be compromised.
Greene’s request for federal investigation marks a significant move in her ongoing efforts to shed light on purported irregularities in Georgia’s election processes. The Gateway Pundit has stated that they will continue to track responses from the DOJ and the FBI regarding Greene’s investigation request. The intricacies of the case underscore a complex narrative with profound implications for the future of electoral integrity in the state.
