In a recent tweet Lin Wood zeroed in on an anomaly, or something much, much worse, relating to the Secretary of State’s Office and this almost $11 million. Wood’s bombshell tweet refers to an April 15, 2020 letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) from Secretary of State Raffensperger, who is also Georgia’s Chief Election Official.
Hey, @GabrielSterling, you don’t have State of GA email??? How does your company, Sterling Innovative, make money? Did you or your company receive any of this $10+M grant? Implementation Manager??? What do you do except go on TV to deny the clear voting fraud in GA?#FightBack pic.twitter.com/01oSKXOjmB

Georgia was poised to receive a $10,875,912 grant from the EAC for Covid-19-related election expenses. (The EAC, a federal entity which, by the way, certifies U.S. election machines, hardware and software, has some clear and shocking conflicts-of-interest of its own going on with its Advisory Board.) Raffensperger assured the EAC that the funds will be used to “prevent, prepare for and respond to coronavirus, domestically or internationally, for the 2020 Federal election cycle.” This is a hefty sum of money!
The contact person at the end of the letter is Gabriel Sterling, who was appointed the COO of the Secretary of State’s office by Brad Raffensperger, the brand new SoS, shortly after Raffensperger was elected to the position in November 2018. Raffensperger’s predecessor was Brian Kemp, who had just been elected Georgia’s governor. Sterling, as COO, would be in charge of budgetary, human resources and administrative operations for the Secretary of State’s office. Sterling, strangely, has also been referred to, in multiple, recent media accounts, as Georgia’s “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager.”
On his Twitter account, Sterling confirms that he is the “Voting System Implementation Manager”.
In the April 15 letter, Sterling lists a private gmail account address as his email account. The letter states: “If you have any questions about this request please contact our Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager, Gabriel Sterling, at [email protected]” Why wouldn’t Raffensperger refer the EAC to his COO, the employee in charge of budgetary issues for the SoS’s office? Why, instead, send them to Sterling as Georgia’s “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager”? Well, it turns out Sterling ALSO his own LLC called Sterling Innovative Solutions, with the “Registered Agent” listed is Robert Gabriel Sterling. https://www.bizapedia.com/ga/sterling-innovative-solutions-llc.html.
So, is Sterling still the COO of the GA Secretary of State’s office or has he left that position? Is he the Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager for the Secretary of State’s Office as a state employee or has he been hired in that position as a consultant or independent contractor? Or is he acting BOTH as the COO of the Secretary of State’s office AND as a private consultant as Georgia’s Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager, through his LLC, Sterling Innovative Solutions LLC? Is there unethical double-dipping going on here or is it simply that the man has changed titles and positions under Raffensperger? It also raises the question, if Sterling is no longer the COO of the Secretary of State’s office, who is?
Lin Wood is right on the money: the use of a gmail account indicates that Gabriel Sterling CANNOT be a state employee, at least for purposes of this April 15 letter sealing the deal on $10.8+ million in Covid-19 money for the Secretary of State’s office. Or can he? Furthermore, Georgia already has an “Elections Director,” Chris Harvey, it says so right on the Secretary of State’s letterhead. Why wasn’t Harvey listed as the contact person in the letter to the EAC? Why does Georgia ALSO need a “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager”? Are taxpayers paying for two state agency people to do the job of one? The public needs immediate clarification upon these issues, given that Sterling continues to assure the public and the media – on behalf of the state of Georgia and its Chief Election Officer, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his messed up, questionable, and clearly fraudulent election AND recount – that, Everything’s fine, move along, nothing to see here people.
Where’s the audit of this pile of Covid-19 money, held in trust and spent BY Brad Raffensperger for the people of Georgia? Georgians need an immediate accounting of this almost $11 million in federal EAC funds. If the Secretary of State will not willingly provide this information, Georgian’s need to send immediate Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to both SoS Raffensperger AND the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, requesting a copy of the U.S. EAC grant award, copies of all correspondence between the Georgia SoS’s office and the EAC, all quarterly grant reports, all budgetary documents and amendments, and all disbursement records, with copies of the checks and/or electronic bank records, regarding this grant.
Sounds like the SoS and governor were vulnerable to being blackmailed. Perhaps, if they stayed quiet about voter fraud and helped cover it up, this info would stay a nice little secret?
Time will tell.
Some of the posts above your are a disgrace.
This forum has been a total disappointment for the past few days. And the tiresome weeping and whining about...”file it, do it, what’s taking so Whaahaaaaaaaaa long”
I just blast right past them
But thanks for pointing it out.
Whatever happened to state SBI protecting the People from criminal enterprises within states ???
Lock him up !
This accusation doesn’t look like a spur-of-the-moment thing.
Instead it looks like it was something that they were ready to spring, apparently at this time.
What are you talking about? He’s filed more than anyone.
Lawsuit on 11/13
TRO on 11/18
Appeal to the 11th circuit 11/23
Subpoena yesterday
Request to expedite appeal today.
You are a turd in a toilet bowl.
Sounds like you might be one of those that thinks that criminal Republicans are off limits, simply because they are Republican? Or, perhaps you agree with the accused refusing to audit the ballot signatures, despite 2 separate recounts being done now? Just a guess, of course.
This could be HUGE!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$11mm federal grant to insure election integrity & you end up with this mess in Georgia??
Come on man
Great question!
I’m pretty sure Lin Wood knows what he’s doing, just like I’m pretty sure it would be foolish for me to tell Ben Carson how to perform neurosurgery.
Let me guess, you’re here to put down the President’s legal counsel again?
How long before the “Dead Corpse” starts trying to lecture us on the Bible, like on other threads?
Simple questions, that’s all.
I have read the entirety of L. Lin Wood’s initial complaint, some 30+ pages long, and it is a masterpiece. No way SCOTUS shuts down his case, it is entirely designed for SCOTUS, which is the way great lawyers file briefs. He is now onto why the SOS and Guv are not doing anything about the obvious criminality involved with the GA election. The “grant” looks like kick-back money. Follow the money, and you will find the criminals behind this, no matter how many shell corporations that they have obscured themselves with.
“like so many of the whiney little bitches here on FR?”
Why don’t you name the whiney little bitches you’re bitching about? I bet you can’t.
That is right! And if he lies about the money, then it stands to reason that he's possibly lying about other things also!
We WILL find out. Records will have to be produced.
Why in Hades is the elections manager for the Secretary Of State, (whoever it may be and whether a State Employee or a private contractor) getting put in charge of the distribution of Federal Covid money?? That should be under the purview of the Governor (not that he is any better) , and the state Department of Health.
None of this makes any sense to me.
Maybe that is how it was designed.
“Sounds like the SoS and governor were vulnerable to being blackmailed”
Yes, and this is why both refused to order a real audit, the kind that checks for valid signatures. They just want to perform a quick recount and be done with it. They were using the Dominion systems for huge kickbacks to themselves.
Both are crooked RINO’s who deserve to go to prison.
Regardless, Kemp is going to lose to Stacy “The Tank” Abrams in two years unless he resigns first.
