Georgia 2020 Voter fraud probe advances as elections board approves subpoenas

Georgia’s ballot harvesting probe advances as state elections board have approved subpoena power that allows Secretary of State investigators to compel testimony delivery of evidence, and it is the power that is sending Democrats into a panic.

The news about an ongoing Georgia investigation that was started in January of 2022, addresses whether third-party liberal activists illegally gathered thousands of absentee ballots in the 2020 general election and a subsequent runoff- and it now has gotten a boost of energy.

A group called True the Vote has been instrumental in numerous states organizing official complaints about the election that has resulted in forcing the government to investigate their claims of voter fraud.

The focus of the election is on a GA Senate race that was won suspiciously, and determined Democrat control of the U.S. Senate, after a highly problematic General election just weeks prior.

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

Now Raffensperger’s team can get 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

Under Georgia law, it is illegal for any third party to pick up and drop off ballots for voters, also known as ballot harvesting. According to reports, at least 242 people made over 5,000 ballot drop-offs during the Georgia Senate runoff elections.

“Credible evidence was given to us that people were harvesting ballots,” said Raffensperger to The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat. “This information was provided to us and they said there’s a witness, a ‘John Doe.’ And so we’re looking at subpoenaing that person to get the information.”

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 Election Board could not decide on a new chairman. But at a meeting last week, the board unanimously chose member Matthew Mashburn to be the acting chairman, Just the News reported.

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.”

Raffensperger’s office told media that they would secure evidence from the election integrity group True the Vote, who filed a complaint in November saying it had acquired evidence including videotapes, a whistleblower’s admission and cell phone location records.

True the Vote has told media that they have proof showing what appeared to be a widespread ballot harvesting operation in the November 2020 general election and January 2021 election runoff.

The group said a cooperating whistleblower to whom it granted John Doe anonymity admitted he, and a group of other people, were paid $10 for each ballot.

“John Doe described a network of non-governmental organizations that worked together to facilitate a ballot trafficking scheme in Georgia,” True the Vote wrote in its complaint.

“John Doe claimed to have been one of many individuals paid to collect and deliver absentee ballots during the early voting periods of the November 2020 General Election and the January 2021 Runoff Election.”

Just the News reported further:

Raffensperger, who in 2019 led an effort to update state law to explicitly outlaw harvesting, told Just the News earlier this month that his investigators want to secure the identity and cooperation of the whistleblower and to follow the money to who funded the operation.

“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.”

State law currently allows only the ballot traffickers to be prosecuted and does not invalidate the ballots of voters who are lawfully registered to vote but give their ballot to a third party.

Some state officials told Just the News they have been privately discussing asking the Georgia legislature to create penalties for voters who surrender their ballots to a third party, Just the News reported.

The Georgia investigation comes as other states have begun turning up evidence of ballot harvesting during the 2020 election.

Arizona has prosecuted several activists for illegally collecting third-party ballots, while the former state Supreme Court justice named to oversee an election integrity probe in Wisconsin recently offered evidence that third parties may have cast ballots on behalf of physically or mentally incapacitated nursing home residents.

HAS ONE RIGGED ELECTION DESTROYED AMERICA FOREVER? THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US.
Root For America ^ | 3/18/2022 | Wayne Allyn Root

Folks, we are in a world of trouble.

America has faced tough odds before. America beats impossible odds all the time. We are resilient and relentless. We are a nation of people who believe nothing is impossible. So, never count us out. There is always hope.

But make no mistake, we are now in the fight of our lives. The odds may be worse than we have ever faced. Our nation is being destroyed from within. America is hanging by a thread. The attacks are relentless and ominous.

The nation is divided like never before. You’d have to go back to the Civil War to find our nation this bitterly divided.

Our borders are wide open with millions of foreign invaders coming in each year. The bad countries of the world are emptying out their prisons- to send their worst criminals to us. Illegal aliens by the millions are bringing poverty, disease and violent crime; bloating our budgets; exploding our national debt; and destroying our education, healthcare and social security systems.

Inflation is raging like never before in modern history. No one really knows how bad it will get. But the government is hiding the true level. More accurate measurements of inflation put us in the range of 15% to 20%. And it’s only going to get worse. This has the potential to wipe out the great American middle class.

If and when gas reaches $10 per gallon (or higher), the US economy will be at the point of collapse. What working-class or middle-class person will be able to drive to work when it costs $200 or more to fill up one tank of gas?

What will happen to 3.5 million American truckers who each drive thousands of miles a week? If they can’t get the food or goods to market, our nation collapses into “Mad Max” territory. It’s every man and woman for themselves.
And don’t forget we have the worst employee shortage in history. No one wants to work anymore because Biden gives so much government welfare and bailout money away. And I haven’t even gotten to the worst scenarios yet.

But the point is, a rigged election has changed everything.
Think of America with President Trump in charge. We had perhaps the greatest and most prosperous economy in history; the highest increase in middle class incomes ever; the lowest unemployment ever- including the lowest black and Latino unemployment ever; inflation and interest rates at historic lows; a perfect supply chain- with a plethora of everything; and peace all over the world. But some Americans didn’t like Trump’s tweets.

What would you give to have Trump back right about now?
Everything is at risk now. America is a disaster now. All because we allowed Democrats to rig a presidential election with millions of fake mail-in ballots; no Voter ID; little or no signature matching; plus an insane idea called “ballot harvesting” that used to be illegal in all 50 states; ballot drops in the middle of the night of 100,000 to 0 for Biden; ballots counted for days after the election until the desired result was achieved; and every Republican witness kicked out of the room while the votes were being counted in key battleground states.

No evidence of a rigged election there, right?
Now to the potential life or death problems that we face because we allowed a rigged election…We face the real possibility of World War III with the Ukraine-Russia war. Are you ready to let your sons and daughters die over Ukraine?
We face the real possibility of a nuclear war. We are closer than at any time in modern history. Even the UN announced that only days ago. We are about to sign the Iran treaty- the worst deal in world history, that hands nuclear weapons to the worst terrorist nation in the world.

China is almost certain to invade Taiwan- which makes 95% of the crucial computer chips in the world. Without them we can’t operate our computers, cell phones, or cars.
And then as a “bonus” we face financial collapse if we can’t get enough oil to fill our gas tanks; if the Russian money we just banned from our system undermines credit markets and brings down our entire banking system; or if our dollar collapses as the “world reserve currency.”

These disasters are not only all on the table at this minute, but what if several converge at the same time? Our country, your life, your children’s future could be gone, forever. Just like that.

All because we allowed a rigged election in the United States of America.Who you gonna vote for in November? If you vote Democrat you are officially suicidal.
