GEORGIA: Fulton County Won’t Provide Chain of Custody For Mail-In Ballots Until January 19, 2021

As serious questions surrounding the tabulation process in Fulton County, Georgia, remain unanswered, officials in that county are slow walking critical documents to kill the clock..............

In a stunningly transparent and disingenuous effort to run out the clock on any challenge to the 2020 General Election, the attorney for Fulton County, Georgia informed an open records petitioner that no information would be available until 24 hours before the January 20, 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

A local news media organization, The Georgia Star News, filed an open records request on December 1, 2020 requesting all ballot transfer records for the November 3, 2020 General Election.

These forms certify the secure chain of custody for absentee ballots, mail-in ballots, and ballots that were submitted via the many drop boxes placed around the state. Covfefe Coffee

On December 7, 2020 the news media outlet received a letter from the Office of the County Attorney for Fulton County which stated:

“Due to the numerous factors like multiple requests related to our prior election, the current pandemic, recounts, and the upcoming election, our response times for election related materials have been significantly delayed. We believe we can have responsive records to you by January 19, 2021. That said, should responsive materials come available sooner, we will provide them to you.”

Fulton County, Georgia City Attorney's letter:

January 19, 2021 is just one day – 24 hours – before the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, DC. This timetable would effectively make any criminality found in the chain of custody reports moot, thus rendering any vote fraud or ballot tampering unactionable where the results of the presidential election are concerned.

The Star also has yet to hear directly from the Fulton County election authorities, a transgression of the Georgia Open Records Act, which states that “agencies have three days to supply a response.”

Ballot transfer forms were part of a new rule under scrutiny in Georgia. They were created not by legislation but by an Election Code Emergency Rule (183-1-14-0.8-.14). Litigation currently working way through the federal court system questions the constitutionality of unlegislated changes to election procedures mandated by election law.

The forms document the chain of custody of ballots collected from drop boxes.

Roughly 300 drop boxes were placed around the State to collect absentee ballots in the November 2020 general election. The Emergency Rule mandated that every “absentee ballot drop box collection team shall complete and sign a ballot transfer form upon removing the ballots from the drop box, which shall include the date, time, location and number of ballots.”

The code goes on to mandate that “the ballots from the drop box shall be immediately transported to the county registrar and processed and stored in the same manner as absentee ballots returned by mail are processed and stored. The county registrar or a designee thereof shall sign the ballot transfer form upon receipt of the ballots from the collection team.”

The Star additionally requested ballot transfer forms from Gwinett, Cobb, and Dekalb Counties.

Incredibly, The Star received notification from Dekalb County Assistant County Attorney, Dexter Q. Bond, Jr., stating, “it has not yet been determined if responsive records to your request exist.”

On Bannon’s War Room, I just heard that GA is adding MORE drop boxes for the next election.

The Marxists are looking for open rebellion hoping to replace the entire government with their unfettered dictatorship.

Georgia is in deep fraud mode. The RINO Republicans don’t care and the MSM is too busy telling us how many people have COVID.

They want to hide their criminality for as long as possible.

If that’s the case, they are in effect declaring a war against GOP Senate candidates, by enabling vote fraud further.

Fulton County GA election officials need to explain their actions to Mr. Waterboard.

I don’t understand how a government worker can just go against the president like this.

When I worked in that cesspool i considered a word from the president as a direct order. And that was Clinton at the time.

Do these people all believe they have no boss?

Well they’re not in the Federal government they are in county government. They report to the county commissioners. I am not sure that even the state government has that much real control over them. It probably varies from state to state. I am not defending them just pointing differing lines of authority. It will take a law suit in federal court to force compliance.
