Atlanta's Election Problems Are Apparently So Bad That the State of Georgia Is Looking to Step In
PJ Media ^ | 07/01/2021 | Matt Margolis

There’s a forensic audit currently underway in Fulton County, Georgia. Apparently, things are so bad that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger wants the state to take over running their elections.

“I think people are saying, enough is enough,” Raffensperger told Just the News in a podcast interview. The state has the authority to do this under the recently passed Election Integrity Act, or Senate Bill 202.

“With SB 202, habitually failing counties can — actually the state election board can come in and replace the election director and really take over the governance of that,” he explained.

This comes nearly two weeks after it was revealed that Carter Jones, a contractor hired by Georgia’s secretary of state to monitor election counting in Fulton County, had written a 29-page memo back in November “outlining the ‘massive’ election integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the Atlanta-area’s election centers.” The memo documented “double-counting of votes, insecure storage of ballots, possible violations of voter privacy, the mysterious removal of election materials at a vote collection warehouse, and the suspicious movement of ‘too many’ ballots on Election Day.”

Raffensperger’s office most certainly knew of these issues even when Raffensperger and other Georgia officials were saying unequivocally that the 2020 election in Georgia was above board. However, considering the thousands of ballots potentially impacted by these irregularities, and the fact that Joe Biden’s state-certified victory in the state was by fewer than 12,000 votes, it is certainly plausible that there was results-changing fraud in Georgia. Moreover, invoking Senate Bill 202 to take over the responsibility of counting votes in Fulton County seems to contradict Raffensperger’s claim that he trusts the election outcome.

Arrest Raffensperger now. He stated there were no problems that influenced the election outcome unfairly.

The State legislators should have an emergency meeting and immediately call the November and January elections null and void and then schedule a new election within 60 days.

Raffensperger?
He’s the reason the voting is screwed up in the first place.
My guess is that he wants to take over to cover stuff up.

Florida did just that with two problem counties, Broward and Palm Beach. Amazingly (not), things went smoothly in the last election.

Yeah. I don’t see the state-level folks riding in like the cavalry. They talk a nice game, but so far the Republicans in charge of the state have only served Biden. I think they are complicit with the steal and would not want any audit to expose that fact.

Don't “look” to step in, step in and fix the mess. Stop the indiscriminate mailing of ballots and limit the drop boxes and have them video monitored.

It wasn’t just Atlanta, DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties also had elections managed by Demo rats.

““I think people are saying, enough is enough,” Raffensperger told Just the News “

It this the same Raffensperger who told us the 2020 election was super clean, honest and there was no cheating?

Raffensperger was in on it. He is just covering for himself.

This is what happens when the media has no interest in focusing on liberal wrongdoing. The local AJC/Cox news organization has ignored any liberal or black wrongdoing for decades, and corruption is commonplace if there is no oversight.

Yes, it’s the same Rattensperger. He’s also the guy who entered into the consent agreement with the DNC.

Don’t trust him!
