Raffensperger Seeks Shelter From CNN and the Washington Post
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 11/17/2020 4:44:13 AM PST by EyesOfTX

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is severely compromised and needs to be removed. Unfortunately, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp also appears to be compromised, as we discussed over the weekend. Raffensperger entered into a probably-illegal consent decree with Stacy Abrams’ voter fraud subornation team last spring that he believes prevents the state from examining mail-in ballots for simple things like valid signatures and addresses. He appears to be desperate to keep that decree in force in order to ensure that Joe Biden “won” his state on November 3.

All of this compromise by Raffensperger led him yesterday to seek shelter with the corrupt news media, specifically with CNN and the Washington Post. In interviews with both fake news outlets, Raffensperger accused Sen. Lindsey Graham and other prominent Republicans of “pressuring” him to throw out ballots that he desperately wants to count.

From a story at the New York Times:

Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, on Monday accused fellow Republicans of trying to undermine the legitimacy of the state’s election in an effort to swing the results to President Trump, who narrowly lost the state to President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and later demanded the hand recount.

Election officials in Georgia also announced Monday evening that they had discovered 2,600 ballots in Floyd County that had not been previously reported to the state, a notable but overall minor hiccup in what they otherwise described as a smooth recounting of the nearly five million ballots cast by Georgia voters during the presidential election.

The counting is expected to wrap up this week, and elections officials have reported few problems aside from the error in Floyd County, which is located in northwestern Georgia and voted heavily for Mr. Trump. Democrats said the recount had so far resulted in no substantive changes, at least none that would affect the lead currently enjoyed by Mr. Biden.

“The Floyd County situation was unfortunate,” said Gabriel Sterling, an official with the office of Georgia’s secretary of state. However, he added, “The majority of the counties right now are finding zero deviations from the original number of ballots.”

Mr. Raffensperger, in an interview with The Washington Post, said that Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was among those Republicans seeking to challenge legally cast absentee ballots with the aim of helping Mr. Trump take the lead in a state in which he is losing by several thousand votes. According to Mr. Raffensperger, Mr. Graham asked about possible ways that ballots could be disqualified, including whether the secretary of state could reject all absentee ballots in counties that had a high number of signature mismatches on those ballots.

A spokesperson for Mr. Raffensperger declined to comment when reached Monday evening. Senator Graham, speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Monday, denied that he had suggested to Mr. Raffensperger that he find a way to throw out legally cast ballots.

“That’s ridiculous,” said Mr. Graham, who said that his conversation with Mr. Raffensperger covered questions about Georgia’s system of using signatures to verify the identity of voters who use absentee ballots. “I thought it was a good conversation,” Mr. Graham said. “I’m surprised to hear he characterized it that way.”

Mr. Raffensperger, a lifelong Republican, was stung last week when Georgia’s senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both ardent Trump supporters, called for Mr. Raffensperger’s resignation, accusing him of mismanagement and calling the election he oversaw “an embarrassment.”

[End]

In past elections, the rejection rates for mail-in and absentee ballots due to lack of valid signatures and addresses was about 3% in Georgia. In this election, that rejection rate fell to just .02% thanks to Raffensperger’s convenient deal with the Democrats and their voter fraud efforts. The difference in those two percentages would far more than enough to deny Biden his illegitimate “win” in the state.

There can be no doubt that Graham and Georgia Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, among others, have indeed questioned Raffensperger on why he has chosen to abandon the most fundamental methods of ensuring that ballots were cast legally in this election. Indeed, this was the very reason why the two Georgia Senators called for his resignation.

Raffensperger has no legitimate argument to support his collusion with the Democrats, which is why he has now resorted to seeking shelter with CNN and the Washington Post.

Someone really needs to take a very deep dive into Mr. Raffensperger’s background. His behavior is frankly inexplicable unless he is severely compromised where Dominion Systems and this election is concerned.

That is all.

Yea, these two are committing political suicide and they know it. It’s obvious they’re just trying to stay out of jail.

IIRC the 100,000 absentee ballots thrown out of gwinnett county in 2016 appear to have been counted in 2020 giving the whole county over to the communists.The damn dog catcher is even a rat.The Georgia SOS is dirty, really dirty.

Nope! Same New York Slimes as usual:

The counting is expected to wrap up this week, and elections officials have reported few problems aside from the error in Floyd County, which is located in northwestern Georgia and voted heavily for Mr. Trump. Democrats said the recount had so far resulted in no substantive changes, at least none that would affect the lead currently enjoyed by Mr. Biden.

Nothing has been done about the bad signatures that don't match what is on the books being accepted by the Dominion algorithm that set a very low percentage for acceptance. So those fraudulent votes are still being counted. So no wonder there are 'few' problems being found.

Comments from Attorney Lin Wood - see #6 regarding Raffensberger (obviously, Wood is hot on the corruption trail with Kemp as well):

Lin Wood
@LLinWood

Here is a suggested course of action for GA Governor @BrianKempGA:

1. Order a special session of GA legislature.
2. Resign.
3. Admit guilt.
4. Go to prison.
5. Ask for cell near @GaSecofState.

Accountability for wrongdoing is called JUSTICE.

Brandon Beach is calling for a special session of GA Legislature but Gov. Kemp is nowhere to be found.

Kemp and Raffensperger are corrupt. Follow the money. Kemp bought covid supplies from China.

This is an effort to overthrow our government.

Absentee ballots - came from Arizona, some people got as many as 5 mail in ballots. Signatures are not checked. Spotters are not allowed to see. Fulton County - GOP observers sent home after which votes were counted for 3 or more hours in secret. Water main break was an overflowing urinal.

Downballot record
Presidential race will go to electors - 12th amendment

Used Dominion in 2012 in Florida, 2016 but didn’t have the massive mail in, 2018 which overturned the house. Wood believes Trump May have won all 50 states

Timeline-
Trial court level first. He believes the court will rule correctly because it is very black and white. Believes we will win. If appealed, go to Supreme Court

I’ve been following Lin Wood closely - listened to all of his interviews yesterday (John Fredericks, Howie Carr). Howie was asking him how “sure” he was ... he’d mentioned 100%. Wood said he didn’t think he could be more than 100$ ... then he laughed and said something like “ok, 105%.

I take great comfort, for lack of a better word, in the steady, calm, assured way he’s dealing with this. I also love his tweets ... he’s giving Kemp/Raffensberger ‘the business’. I think Raffensberger is starting to ‘crack’ around the edges.

Yep, Gwinnet County appears to be completely taken over by Dems top to bottom. I think my Rep state senator is the only R left to represent my interests.

I hope Lin Woods federal lawsuit is successful both for Trump in forcing the constitutional resolution and forcing a state wide revote for everyone else.

I called the SOS and Gov office a few days ago. The SOS office was on disconnect due to high call volume. For the Gov’s office, it surprised me but I was speaking with a live person within a minute or two. I spoke my piece then paused a moment. The person then told me she had written everything down and asked if there was anything additional I wanted her to add. Gov though is hiding out from the public. Zero actions or statements on anything.

Title of the thread:
Raffensberger needs shelter... [From MSM]

Georgia's own in-house RINO, Erick Erickson yesterday in his WSB interview with Raffensberger yesterday afternoon gave him quite a bit of local shelter with nothing but softball questions.

Raffensberger during the interview also went out of his way to direct as much criticism as he could against Doug Collins.

My sources here in gwinnett tell me that they will be redistricting the county by itself during the gerrymandering next round. Marta coming in will be voted in next chance they get. Everywhere that Godless public transportation goes turns to shite. Ive seen it happen all over the greater atlanta areas surrounding counties.Trying to convince the boss lets move to Hartwell up on the state line.It will be an uphill battle for sure.

Obviously, Kemp & Raffensberger are not Repbulicans in the meaningful sense of the designation. They are doing their best to get through/over with the vote count, thinking that will save their sorry butts. If Atty Wood is right, the entire GA election will be thrown out so their faux recount won’t matter - I hope that happens. Kemp has ties to China, as does Loeffler so of course, no one likes Collins who (to my knowledge) isn’t compromised ... Kemp/Raffensberger might as well be Demon Rats.

I have lived in Gwinnett county for 34 years. Sadly with all the immigration it’s turning into a chithole. We plan to move 75 miles north real soon. The hand tally going on right now is a waste of time because they are not scrutinizing the absentee ballots which is likely where most of the fraud is located. Hopefully Lin Wood will be successful in his lawsuit. Kemp and Raffensperger are unrepentant RINOs. They are in duck and cover mode.

Tired of all the intrigue and BS - File the charges

Someone with standing - any member of the Georgia Legislature worried about Honest tranparency and election integrity should lodge a complaint with whatever law enforcement agency has the balls to follow up on the fact that the Gov and SoS continue their fraud against the people and legislature of the great state of Georgia.

Per Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Raffensperger
Raffensperger’s company that made him worth >$25 million is Tendon Systems, LLC.

Interestingly, Tendon Systems, LLC is reputed online to offer extraordinarily low salaries:

Question: Where do companies offering extraordinarily low salaries typically get their workers from?

Appears to be a tried and true Democrat vote fraud trick:
<><> residents submitted a National Change of Address form to the USPS, indicating they had moved out of state,
<><> yet they voted in 2020 in the state they no longer resided in.

Data analyst Matt Braynard, data and strategy director for Pres Trump’s 2016 election campaign found 138,221 such people in Georgia, a much larger number than the state’s current vote differential (12,670) in the presidential race. In Michigan, there were 51,302 such people; Wisconsin had 26,673, Nevada had 27,271, Arizona had 19,997, and Pennsylvania had 13,671.

“The number of questionable ballots surpasses the vote margin in at least three states w/ a combined total of 37 electoral votes—--Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin,” Braynard told The Epoch Times on Nov. 25. Braynard said, “This isn’t speculative. This is what the data shows, the numbers are high enough to 'easily' overturn current election projections."
