Conservative group tells judge it has no evidence to back its claims of Georgia ballot stuffing

A conservative group has told a Georgia judge that it doesn't have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later.

Texas-based True the Vote filed complaints with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021, including one in which it said it had obtained “a detailed account of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes across metro Atlanta” during the November 2020 election and a January 2021 runoff.

A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group's refusal to share evidence with investigators. In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.

“Once again, True the Vote has proven itself untrustworthy and unable to provide a shred of evidence for a single one of their fairy-tale allegations," Raffensperger spokesman Mike Hassinger said Wednesday. "Like all the lies about Georgia’s 2020 election, their fabricated claims of ballot harvesting have been repeatedly debunked.”

True the Vote’s assertions were relied upon heavily for “2000 Mules,” a widely debunked film by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. A State Election Board investigation found that surveillance camera footage that the film claimed showed ballot stuffing actually showed people submitting ballots for themselves and family members who lived with them, which is allowed under Georgia law.

The election board subpoenaed True the Vote to provide evidence that would assist it in investigating the group's ballot trafficking allegations.

True the Vote's complaint said its investigators "spoke with several individuals regarding personal knowledge, methods,

But the main point is another group confesses they ain’t got what they claimed. They fall like dominoes. One after another.

[Lazamataz]

You have made that claim in the past as well as very far past. So how does mean I escaped notice?

I stand corrected.

You escaped consequence.

[joesbucks]

Why would truth have a consequence?

Why would truth have a consequence?

Well, now. That is one of your most out-of-touch comments ever.

If you were one of the worst Nazis in 1938 through 1945, admitting same (Truth) might land you in a Nuremburg trial (Consequence).

More to the point, to admit you are a liberal Republican, or a lefty (Truth) might get you banned from this forum (Consequence).

Furthermore, by inference, you managed to link my accusation you are a liberal Republican or leftist to 'Truth'. Can we take this as an outright admission that you are either of the above?

Thanks in advance.

Another greasy lie from a greasy Lefty.

[joesbucks]

I focus on truth and fact. Political affiliation is secondary. But am I one of “you”? Never. But there are good conservatives out there. Sadly their numbers are getting smaller. But I am more like them.

[kiryandil]

I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer consider their constant lies to be Truth, also - because their Media carries their water for them all day, every day.

Similarly, the lefty Talking Points here about True The Vote are sneered directly into our faces with no consequence.

[joesbucks]

You wouldn’t recognize a greasy lie if it stood in front of you and admitted it was just that. I mean you believe the Big Lie even though it keeps pointing out that it’s just that: A Big Lie.

[kiryandil]

Is that you, Jake Tapper?   

[kiryandil]

Check out how the lefty instantly leaps to the defense of "Fatti the Corrupt" Willis:

Being she’s a Floozy Bell doesn’t make her prosecution corrupt. Just stupid in the morals department.

It's like having Nicolle Wallace or Jake Tapper posting on FR, catching spears thrown at their corrupt Democrat political pals...

Alright. Let us see if you are.

What are your positions on:

1. Stricter gun control, esp. 'assault weapon' bans, bans on magazine size, and restrictions on ammunition acquisition?
2. What is your stand on an open southern border?
3. How do you feel about our national budget, esp. as regards Continuing Resolutions, the mass creation of money (also by the forgiveness of government loans) and Washington's inability or lack of desire to balance it?
4. Do you agree with the World Economic Forum that manmade global warming / climate change is a legitimate concern, and that we must vastly decrease farming, force people to eat insects for their protein needs, and ban the ICE engine?
5. Do you favor the current administration position as regards Ukraine, and would you send more money, less money, or cut them off?
6. Do you believe in strict controls on speech, or having the government partner with social media giants (Facebook, Twitter, and so on), such that misinformation or disinformation is stopped?

[kiryandil]

Regarding 5. Do you favor the current administration position as regards Ukraine, and would you send more money, less money, or cut them off?

joesbucks: The line should be where the border was before Russia’s aggression.

Why would the US agree to Russia being awarded any land?

Sounds like the position of the Biden administration neocons to me - endless war.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, you go ahead and support the democrat’s talking points.

I’ll address the other reality. There was massive proven
vote fraud in 2020.

[joesbucks]

My gun control restrictions pertain more to who can acquire them vs type. If you’re nuts, then no guns.

On border control, we need more officers to deter crossings and court personnel to process people. For those seeking asylum they need processed quickly. Up or down. The wall will stop neither the border breeches nor the drugs. It may curtail some breeches but not stop. The impenetrable wall built by Trump is breeched thousands of times per year. And the vast majority of drugs comes through the ports of entry. Since the vast majority of breechers are Catholic by faith, I get confused by the cultural aversion. And frankly, we need the labor pool they can provide. We’re to the bottom of the barrel with the available labor pool. Lots of mental, substance abuse or criminal convictions is about all that remains. More to your question, there are more and better solutions than just a wall.

We need a budget solution. But before we get there, we need to determine the proper role and cost of government. And frankly, I don’t think loan forgiveness would be an issue had Trump offered it. I’ve seen people scratch their heads over what he has done only to later embrace it. Like his covid money, a lot of people got it that didn’t need it. I didm’t need it. But got it. I was not impacted financially by COVID shutdowns. Yet I and virtually everyone else got it. And I think the universal handout is why it never got a lot of pushback.

I do believe man has an environmental impact. I don’t agree with the solutions you listed.

I support Ukraine. I see it as Reagan saw it

I believe she coal media should point out what they believe is false information and in some extreme cases block or delete it. Whether it be Twitter, Facebook or Free Republic or DU. I don’t have a problem with govt agencies advocating their positions. Whether Trump or Biden.

I know the above won’t pass your litmus test, but the answers you’re looking for are likely more libertarian than conservative.

[joesbucks]

No. The s that you Joy Reid?

[kiryandil]

You seem angry, Jake.

Check your teleprompter - it seems to have short-circuited:

The s that you Joy Reid?

Are you practicing your Ebonics for a spot on Joyless Reid's show? Is that what you're trying to tell us?   

[joesbucks]

You know not wish you were making me angry. I see the FBI informant has now imploded.

[kiryandil]

Conservatives would not be gleeful over such a story from Biden's Media mouthpieces.

But you are. Hmmmmmmmm....

[srmanuel]

I’m not denying the cheating, the question is how we stop it, since 2020 nothing has been done to prevent the cheating and people like Lindell and TTV haven’t helped by running around claiming to have all the evidence and then not showing it or admitting they really don’t have anything

[joesbucks]

Seriously? Why would a conservative want an investigation and/or conviction based on a lie?
