The Georgia Elections Board has approved a subpoena to secure evidence and testimony in an ongoing investigation into whether third-party liberal activists illegally gathered thousands of absentee ballots in the 2020 general election and a subsequent runoff that determined Democrat control of the U.S. Senate.

The vote was a major win for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who announced the investigation into alleged ballot harvesting in January and was seeking the subpoena authority to assist the probe.

The subpoena power will allow Raffensperger's team to secure evidence about a whistleblower who alleged to an election integrity group that he participated in a large operation to gather ballots in which activists were paid $10 for each ballot they delivered.

Georgia law expressly prohibits third parties from collecting, gathering or delivering absentee ballots, except in the case of immediate relatives.

A vote on the subpoena was delayed by weeks as the Elections Board could not decide on a new chairman. But at a meeting last week, the board unanimously chose member Matthew Mashburn to be acting chairman.

The board then voted out the subpoena in a closed session, according to audio of the meeting reviewed by Just the News.

"All the board members are here," Mashburn said after emerging from the closed-door session. "A quorum is in order. We went into executive session for purposes of discussing pending and potential litigation and for the board to authorize subpoenas in case no. 2020-10-Dougherty County and 2022-003 ballot harvesting."

Officials said the new subpoena powers will be used by Raffensperger's office to secure evidence from the election integrity group True the Vote, which filed a complaint in November saying it had acquired videotapes, a whistleblower's admission and cell phone location records showing what appeared to be a widespread ballot harvesting operation in the .....

"We need to get a subpoena for the fella who this John Doe is," Raffensperger explained. "Was he paid? How much was he paid? And then who paid him. And we're going to follow the money, and we're going get to the bottom of it. And we're going to prosecute this, if we find that there's substance to it."

Raffensperger could not be bothered by illegalities in the Georgia election until long after it was irreversable.

Now, he wants to subpoena the sole whistleblower to get his identity.

Anyone else see a potential problem here?

And who is going to subpoena Ratburger for digging his filthy corrupt heels in to obfuscate and delay the investigation as much as he could?

[eyeamok]

If he can’t secure the evidence, someday somebody might find out he was in on it from the get go.

Raffensperger is up to his neck in the corruption of the 2020 election. He helped set it up and would not call the legislature into session concerning voting regulations. I remember a video of him going to I think China and speaking in Mandarin to a group associated with voting machines.

John Soloman is a first rate journalist/reporter.

I'm sure Fox News will allow him on their programming providing he doesn't say one word regarding the 2020 election...The Same rules all of the Fox News stooges have to abide by to keep working...for the man.

It sounds like their only interest is to go after the whistle blower and bury the election fraud.

Great.

When are Republicans holding Congressional hearings?

Did they send a strongly worded letter to the DoJ yet asking for an investigation?

[TBP]

The SoS will bury it.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Wake me up when they put handcuffs on Ruby.

For this to be successful, you need a SOS that is above reproach. That DOES NOT describe Raffensperger.

So the guy who certified a fraudulent election and swore no fraud happened, even though his own people were telling him fraud happened, is going to now find out the truth about the fraud?

Yea… okay
