Cobb Board of Elections Denies Challenges To Voter Rolls
MARIETTA, GA — The Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration unanimously voted to deny a hearing on three separate challenges aimed at disqualifying thousands of Cobb County voters ahead of the Jan. 5 Senate runoff election.
The board called a special meeting to hear the three challenges — one from Cobb County GOP Chairman Jason Shepherd, and two from Pamela Reardon, a Cobb County real estate agent — and determine if there was probable cause for a full hearing.
Jason Shepherd told the board that he found evidence of approximately 16,024 people registered to vote in the county who reside outside of Georgia. The information was gathered by running the county’s voter registration database against the National Change of Address registry, he told the board in a letter earlier this month.
Two similar challenges were filed by Marietta attorney Pamela Reardon. One of the submissions was sent through True the Vote, a Texas-based election integrity group. True the Vote announced on Dec. 18 that it was partnering with Georgians in every county to challenge 364,541 potentially ineligible voters.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said in a statement released by True the Vote: “I’ve said since Election Day that I must follow the law in the execution of our elections, and I’ve also encouraged Georgians to report any suspected problems for my office to investigate. Though federal law restricts our ability to update our voter registration lists, the Elector Challenge is a vehicle under our law to ensure voter integrity. I support any effort that builds faith in our election system that follows the proper legal procedure.”
Both of the challenges questioned the eligibility of voters who were listed on National Change of Address records and the Cobb County voter registration database, claiming that those voters no longer live in Georgia and cannot vote in Cobb County in the runoff election. But the county’s legal counsel said the evidence provided did not indicate probable cause for a full hearing.
“I don’t believe this is probable cause to challenge these voters,” Gregg Litchfield, one of the county’s attorneys, said during the meeting. “The mere production of a voter registration database, compared with a national change of address registry, is not sufficient.”
Litchfield said Shepherd’s list of voters did not include the distinction between a permanent or temporary change of address, which is a distinction the NCOA includes in its change-of-address form.
He also noted that the National Voter Registration Act indicates voter list maintenance must be done no later than 90 days prior to an Election Day, which meant list maintenance would have had to take place prior to Oct. 5.
“We’re 19 days before the election. This list is certainly not a fact,” Litchfield said.
In an emailed statement, Shepherd told The Epoch Times that the county board “utterly failed in its duty to keep elections in Cobb secure by refusing to investigate whether any of the over 16,000 voters who have filled out and submitted a change of address form with the US Postal Service showing they have changed their residence to a new one outside the State of Georgia have, in fact, moved outside the state and are ineligible to vote in Georgia under Georgia law.”
“The county attorney, Daniel White, made several assumptions about my ability to provide further proof, however, despite my attendance, I was not allowed to answer his challenges or otherwise speak in defense of my own petition,” he said.
“Other Georgia counties have taken similar petitions seriously, finding probable cause does exist, but for some reason, either laziness, incompetence, or outright corruption, the Cobb Board of Elections doesn’t think that by someone changing address to a new one out of state means that person moved out of state. I find that simply unbelievable.”
They will not do it because they would be admitting that widespread voter fraud occurred.
Appears the fix is in again. Wondering how much it cost to buy those people.
How can you act 90 days before the election on October 5th when you didn’t know until November 3rd that you would need another runoff election on January 5th?
Never give up the con.
GA is a disgusting snakepit of corrupt legislators, governors, vice-governors, secretaries of state, and ghettopotami.
I think Cobb county is run by dims.
Were those registered but living out of state in the military, perhaps?
The GOP Gov and GOP SOS are in on the fraud.
They can’t back out now.
I would tend to believe the realtor.
The fraud will be committed in plain view. The Democrats don’t believe anyone has the resolve to challenge them. Democracy is in dire jeopardy.
The GA state legislature CAN...and SHOULD send a different slate of electors to congress. Jan 4th is the deadline.
Will the GA constituents put enough pressure on their state reps to do it?
Evidently, Satan is in charge of Cobb County.
It will be interesting to see if any of these people return ballots since they would apparently be committing election fraud. Not that anyone gets charged with election fraud anymore in New America.
Third-World-Country BUMP
The two GA senate races are key to what is going to happen on Jan 6th. I suspect that the media will call the races by 9pm EST on Jan 5th for Ossouf and Warnock, and that there will be additional late night ballot dumps for them. They will then immediately seat Ossouf and Warnock in DC for the electorial vote hearings.
How will this get undone?
Whores are always cheap.
That is why in the oilfield we say, “If it floats, flucks or flies; rent it.”
The difference between whores and these cretins is that whores have more honor and are more trustworthy.
Just wondering where in Georgia is Cobb County?
Corruption is cobb county.Freakin rinos.
