Election Integrity at Stake in Georgia: Fulton County Georgia Seeks to Destroy 2020 Election Ballots Amid Ongoing Lawsuits

In an ongoing lawsuit concerning the 2020 election, attorneys for Fulton County, Georgia, made a controversial argument yesterday. They suggested that a temporary injunction preserving the 2020 Fulton election ballots should be lifted, which would allow the ballots to be destroyed before they are unsealed, copied, and revealed to the public.

The attorneys also contended that Fulton County should receive attorney fees for the case, despite a Georgia Supreme Court ruling that overturned lower court decisions and confirmed standing for the plaintiffs who seek to copy and inspect the ballots, according to the VoterGA.

Representing Fulton Superior Court Clerk Che Alexander, Attorney Laura Moore made the case that there is no longer room in a secure warehouse cage for the ballots, so they may now be destroyed.

Moore conveniently omitted from her argument that Fulton County recently opened a new 60,000 sq. ft. Election Operations warehouse at an initial cost of nearly 30 million and an additional 4 million annual lease for Fulton taxpayers, per VoterGA.

More from the VoterGA press release:

Attorney Kaye Burwell argued that the county should receive attorney fees for costs incurred so far because Plaintiffs’ claims, which are still yet to be adjudicated, are“meritless”.

Burwell ignored all rulings showing Plaintiffs in the case, currently known as Favorito v. Wan, were granted relief eight times thus proving their claims are legitimate. The rulings include:

1. A temporary injunction to preserve all ballots on Jan. 7, 2021;

2. An order to produce scanned absentee ballot images on April 16, 2021;

3. An order upholding two Open Records Request claims on April 20, 2021;

4. A motion granted to add the county and clerk as Defendants on April 21, 2021;

5. An order to unseal the ballots for inspection and copying on May 21, 2021;

6. An order granting Petitioners’ motion to add parties on June 24, 2021;

7. A Georgia Supreme Court order confirming Plaintiffs’ standing claim on Dec. 12, 2022;

8. An appeals court adoption of the higher order for Fulton plaintiffs on May 11, 2023.

Lead Plaintiff Garland Favorito added, “Watching the attorneys make such ludicrous, dishonest arguments with a straight face while seeking to destroy the ballots and charge us fees for winning arguments in court against them only serves to remind me of the massive Fulton County corruption that threatens the voting rights of every Georgian.”

Judge Robert McBurney is expected to rule soon on the motion for fees, the temporary injunction for the ballots and a Plaintiff motion to substitute Defendants with new members of the Fulton County Election Board who the court can compel to act if it grants further relief.

To have the level of cheating they saw, the GOP had to be in on it.

Exactly.

If they are just going to destroy them anyway, just hand them over as is and let the plaintiffs pay for the destruction afterwards.

Good post.

We have a long way to go to secure the election enough to win. We have to consider every ave. they have to cheat. There are lots of them as well.

Just a few days ago an employee at Maricopa processing center was arrested for stealing equipment that can change the vote on the dominion machines.

Evidently, the dirty dems will try all the old tricks again along with whatever new stuff they have in the works.

It's up to us to catch these criminals before it happens.
