sounds like an illegal contribution.
Having escaped from Atlanta, I can tell you that The Fulton County Board of Commissioners is the most racist group of grifters known to man.
And to criticize them is racist, of course; ask their lapdogs at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, how carry their water with pride.
Georgia commissioners bought and paid for for their election decisions. Bunch of crooks in Georgia who seem to be easily bought or just fooled due to their stupidity. The desire of money is the root of all evil.
How much did the stealers make who were caught on camera?
We deserve to know.
Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and Dominion at top of list to get DOJ attention after this is over and President Trump wins re-election. A lot of crap to fix.
“..I’d like to know how they divided up all that money.
How much did the stealers make who were caught on camera?
We deserve to know....”
Darn good question. Where did it go and to whom and for what? As evil and greedy as they are, I would imagine it was a heckuva fight over it. I think I read somewhere that old Ruby lives in a big mansion of some sort. Who knows how long she’s been flipping elections for money.
When this first surfaced it was noted that only the secretary of state can receive monies for election purposes...any legals like to chime in....thanks in advance.

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners accepted a staggering $6.3 million grant from a group funded by Facebook’s founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to reports.During a September 2, 2020 board meeting, the commission in the Georgia county voted to accept $6.3M from Zuckerberg’s Center for Technology and Civic Life “Safe Elections” project.
Despite the size of the donation from a single party, the board decided to take the money without a public discussion.It then took the unusual steps of proceeding to accept the grant without asking a single question about the organization providing the cash.
The commission didn’t enquire about the name of the group providing the funding, the origin of the funding, or the details of what the funding would be used for.As Breitbart News reported, significant chain-of-custody security concerns have emerged surrounding absentee ballots deposited in the 300 drop boxes across the state that were approved by the Georgia State Election Board.

Fulton Country, Georgia has been the subject of numerous allegations of election irregularities
The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said it had no idea how many of the 1.3 million absentee ballots (out of five million total votes cast) counted in the 2020 general presidential election were delivered by drop boxes vs. delivered by the mail, according to Breitbart.According to the most recent vote tallies, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in Georgia by fewer than 12,000 votes.TRENDING: Georgia County Commission Took 6 3 Million from Mark Zuckerberg GroupIn Fulton County, Biden received 381,144 votes compared to Donald Trump’s 137,240.Of the 523,000 total votes cast, Fulton County says 59,143 were Election Day votes, 146.994 were Absentee by Mail, 314,985 were Advanced Voting Votes, and 3.537 were Provisional
Here is the transcript of the commission’s vote to accept the $6.3 million grant from CTCL at their September 2, 2020 board meeting:
CLERK GRIER: “Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board, we have an item that needs to be added to today’s Regular Meeting Agenda. Bottom of the Add-on memo on page 3, 20-0627, Registration and Elections. Request approval of a grant award for elections processing and voting equipment.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “All right. That will require a supermajority of five yeas. I’m assuming that this one is time sensitive, so I’ll entertain a motion to –”COMMISSIONER CARN:“– motion.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “All right. I’ll second. Let’s vote, please. Commissioner Hausmann.
Commissioner Ellis.”COMMISSIONER ELLIS: “Yes.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “Commissioner Morris.”COMMISSIONER MORRIS: “Yes.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “Commissioner Hall.”COMMISSIONER HALL: “Yes.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “Vice Chair Arrington. Commissioner Carn.”COMMISSIONER CARN: “I vote, yes.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “And I vote, yes. Is that five?”CLERK GRIER: “That’s five. And the motion passes.”CHAIRMAN PITTS: “Thank you. Continue, Madam Clerk.”Later in that meeting, Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron told the Fulton County Board of Commissioners how he was able to secure the grant for the county, but failed to mention the name of the funding group–CTCL–or the fact they had only one day earlier, on September 1, received a $250 million donation from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, to fund the Fulton County grant.“I went this summer and sought some grant funding, which the BOC approved today for over $6.3 million, and we’ve also received $5 million in COVID funding,” Barron told the Fulton County Board of Commissioners at their September 2, 2020 board meeting.
“And then with the $3.5 million soundings request today, that totals $14.5 million more in additional investments for we’re going to be — we were able to secure a lot of new polling places for, if we clean them afterwards, we got tech-support at all voting locations, postage and absentee ballots that we have to mail out.
“Here are the summary budget details of the proposal Baron sent to the CTCL on August 18, which they accepted and the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved on September 2:Absentee Ballot Assembly and Processing Equipment $1,448,026Early Voting Sites and Ballot Drop-off Options $937,710In-person Voting at Polling Places on Election Day $3,923,700Total $6,309,436Barron went on to describe the Fulton County 2o2o general election absentee ballot process in some detail:
Some details on the absentee ballot process.Secretary of State launched an application portal earlier this week for voters to request absentee-by-mail ballots, and that enables a completely paperless application submission.We are also working with U.S. Digital Response, to have our own portal that will allow voters to upload their application, and then it will also allow us to bring in, scan in all of the ballot applications that we received by mail, and also by fax, into that so that we can process everything from one dashboard.The voter, of course, will be able to track the status of their ballot as it is processed by elections.Our portal, the one that is being built by U.S. digital response, is intended to replace the e-mail submission process.Voters will be able to track the status of their processed application and mail ballot by My Voter page.Outgoing ballots, the mail-out ballots for all absentee ballot applications that have been received and processed into election by mid-September.After that, the County will mail out the absentee-by-mail ballots.New printing capabilities will enable the County to print a USPS intelligent mail barcode onto outbound envelopes, so that the ballot will be trackable until it reaches the voters’ residents.We’ll be doing that through our Blue Crest machine that is downstairs in the mailroom.We are also increasing the number of absentee ballot drop box locations from 20 to 40.
TreeThe new locations include almost all of Fulton County libraries and County-owned facilities.That 92 percent of the voters live within three miles driving distance of a drop box location.And then all drop box locations will be covered by 24/7 video monitoring and will be emptied daily.Ballots or envelopes that — when voters return absentee-by-mail ballots, the envelopes will have a barcode tracking IMDB on them in order for us to know how many ballots we will be receiving on a daily basis.Beginning in 2021 we will be add software to our Blue Crest downstairs that will enable us to put voter-specific USPS barcode tracking on there.But that is not available this year.We will have new automated letter opening devices that will save significant staff time and accelerate ballot receipt processing.We’ll also have new scanning and signature verification technology, which will also reduce staff time and speed up processing.So when ballots come back to us, we will run them through our Blue Crest machine, and that will do the signature verification.State policy now allows ballot processing to begin two weeks prior to election day, whereas in June and August, it was one week.This will enable us to manage the surge in volume of ballots.”Originally, the budget for Registration and Elections was 15.1 million, when it was adopted for physical year 2020,” Barron continued.”The core election’s budget was 3.1 million supplements for general election’s year with 12 million — it was $12 million.”We also had a capital set-aside fund that was approved in 2019 to purchase carriers and, also, the buses and to add personnel.”This year we — I went this summer and sought some grant funding, which the BOC approved today for over $6.3 million, and we’ve also received $5 million in COVID funding.”And then with the $3.5 million soundings request today, that totals $14.5 million more in additional investments for we’re going to be — we were able to secure a lot of new polling places for, if we clean them afterwards, we got tech-support at all voting locations, postage and absentee ballots that we have to mail out.”We purchased much more additional polling equipment and also, funding for poll workers in those additional investments,” Barron concluded.

Fulton County Commission Vice Chairman Marvin Arrington, Jr. praised Barron for securing the $6.3 million grant from the entity no commissioner publicly named, but which was in fact, the Zuckerberg-funded CTCL “Safe Elections” Project.“Great job in getting the grants and going out securing these additional resources to make sure that, you know, we can always do better. Obviously, I know no one is perfect, but you’ve done — you and your team have done a great job and the elections board in going out and securing these extra grants,” Commission Vice-Chair Arrington told Barron.”So that is certainly to be applauded.”[RELATED] Agents Raid Arizona Home in Voter-Data Theft Investigation - Hard Drives Seized
