Georgia election officials dispute film’s voter fraud claims (Ruby Freeman not mentioned)

ATLANTA (AP) - The Republican head of Georgia’s election board said Tuesday a recently released film alleging ballots were illegally collected and dropped off during the 2020 presidential election falsely suggests there were tens of thousands of illegitimate votes in the state.

Still, State Election Board Chairman Matt Mashburn promised a “fair” investigation of its claims.

“It’s not going to be a witch hunt,” he said at a meeting of the board. “It’s going to be done soberly and with great care by people who know what they’re doing.”

The movie, called “2000 Mules,” paints an ominous picture suggesting Democrat-aligned ballot “mules” were supposedly paid to illegally collect and drop off ballots in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It has been praised by former President Donald Trump as exposing “great election fraud,” but election security experts say it is based on faulty assumptions, anonymous accounts and improper analysis of cellphone location data.

Mashburn, who said he watched the film, said it suggested there were 92,000 “illegitimate, manufactured votes” in the state, but he said that’s not true. Even if a ballot is illegally dropped off, it goes through the same checks as other ballots to ensure the vote is legitimate, he said.

“A ballot harvested vote might be a perfectly legal vote,” he said. “It’s just the manner of its delivery was illegal.”

**SNIP**

“The analysis is flawed and there are assertions there that are wholly unsupported by any evidence that I’ve been provided aside from individual isolated instances that I can count on one hand with fingers to spare,” she said. “I’ve seen no credible evidence of any organized efforts of unauthorized persons delivering ballots let alone widespread invalid votes being cast.”

And yet we can all see it. We saw it all. The mules. The multiple scans by Ruby. The mystery cases of ballots sitting under the tables all day… and finally the spike that put Joe ahead in the middle of the evening shortly after those boxes were utilized.

“I think we would know if there were 400k duplicate ballots cast in GA.”

Just off the top of my head, but I believe there were over 30,000 cases where voters discovered they had already ‘voted’ when the went to the poles. That’s likely because these harvesters had already filled out and cast a ballot for them.

if there were 400k

Would you know if certain duplicates weren't reported?

Biden won by 12k. Using that 40% turnout, you'd need 30k ballots.

Counting mysteriously stopped in Georgia and other states at the same time, which had never happened in any other election except 2020.

So, if cheating, this would be a cheat where some poll workers were in on it. Poll workers have all up to date info.

So they could go through a pile of fake ballots, and only scan those representing people who hadn't voted yet.

Think they'd be able to process enough overnight to end up w/12k if in reality it was a tight vote?

And they would know if it was tight by around 10/11 pm, yes?

It's the "people who know what they're doing" that created the situation we find ourselves in now.

“Might be” a legal vote.

He means that an illegal vote can be made legal with the passage of time and process.

Just like an unconstitutional law can be made constitutional with the passage of time and process.

They would have to look at every fake ballot, get on the computer and look up if that person had voted yet, and then scan that ballot.

And they couldn't even start doing that until all the other ballots had been counted.

And they kept it all secret?

-- a ballot doesn't lose its legitimacy just because the wrong person drops it in a box. --

So what's the point of having the "wrong person" rule if the rule is going to be ignored in practice?

I get the point of the rule in the first place, it's to make ballot box stuffing more difficult.

The process (use of a drop box) is designed to facilitate cheating, not to prevent it.

Signature matching was not properly performed per the law. Other required information not checked. Many of the envelopes were lost (ie, destroyed). Dirty voter rolls that are intentionally dirty allow millions of fake and illegal (not valid voters per the legal requirements) voters to exist in the system.

But, sure, these mules delivered valid, legal, real votes just in an illegal method.

And according to the powers that be, those votes are all legitimate, correct, etc. The records prove it.

We’re a banana republic. I don’t believe that election results are honest.

It may be a "legal" vote, but it is not a valid vote. It is just the same if I returned a mail in ballot and didn't have a witness signature on it when required by law. It is a legal vote. I am a registered voter, but my vote is invalid, and therefore not counted, because it did not comply with the law .

look up

Not if the system rejects a ballot after scan because of a duplicate. You'd be going through them pretty quick.

And if you only do it with one machine, there's only one log to get rid of.

I'm not claiming to "know" what happened. I can only try to figure how I would design a cheat if I wanted to.

My personal belief - was there cheating? Yes, like there is in every election.

Was it enough to make a diff? - usually it isn't but my suspicions are aroused when the counting stopped concurrently in multiple states. This implies coordination of multiple elections offices. Such a scheme could make a big difference.

Is that paranoid - absolutely not in this case. We saw 4 years of false accusation and investigation against Trump from WITHIN the government. It's a simple extension to figure these same types of folks(Trump deranged) would cheat an election and sleep well at night.

I see it more like evidence in a trial. Loss of chain of custody removes all value of the evidence.

Sounds like the fraud will be allowed to continue.

The only way that happens is if the same RINOs who oversaw the Steal are still in power.

The only way we get election integrity back is to vote out every RINO who must face a primary this summer, especially in the state legislatures.

I think we would know if there were 400k duplicate ballots cast in GA.

An audit would uncover it.

Wonder why Democrats, RINOs, and judges successfully fought so hard to prevent it?

I’ve had to re read this several times now & still shaking my head with wonderment.

LOL! Such an obvious ridiculous lie.

So you’re telling me you did a signature match check on all the ballots that came in - as required by state law?

You also wanna tell me there was a chain of custody for all the ballots that came in or was that missing for tens of thousands of them?....pssst....its already been admitted that there is no chain of custody for tens of thousands.

How come Richard Baris and Matt Bracken were able to find thousands of people who voted in Georgia an in 2020, who according to the US Social Security administration, were underage? How about the ones who were dead? How about the ones with mover flags at the US Post office? How about the ones who voted from mail boxes instead of from residential addresses as required by state law?

Is the Social Security Administration’s data wrong? Is the US Postal Service’s data wrong?

Stop lying. You’re not fooling anybody. We saw the glorious high definition video footage from government cameras of mules illegally stuffing ballot after ballot after ballot into unattended drop boxes.
