Why is Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger quietly raising $5 million to “identify local election officials” who might challenge election results.. Georgia, the site of massive election misinformation, questionable results, incomplete audits and a mysterious come-from-behind razor-thin win by Joe Biden in 2020, appears to be at it again. Or perhaps we should say Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is at it again. Kylie Jane Kremer brought the matter to our attention through a series of posts on X. As Kremer notes, “Raffensperger sent an email, in a private capacity, that went to a list of trial lawyers...

said on NewNation’s “The Hill Sunday” that claims about flaws in voting from Republicans will “hurt” turnout for his party. Host Chris Stirewalt said, “Georgia was a focal point for efforts to overturn the in 2020 by Donald Trump and it appears we’ve already started down that road again. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday was pushing a story claiming voting machines were rigged in Whitfield County. Is there any truth to those allegations?” Raffensperger said, “Absolutely none. George is ranked number one for election integrity by the National Bipartisan Center and then at the very at the top of...

After trying to block the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) from ensuring precincts match physical ballot counts with machine counts, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office declined to provide training on the SEB’s rule until a court rules on the matter. Blake Evans, the election director for the secretary of state, sent guidance to county election officials indicating the state will not bother providing “additional training … until after any court decisions are made,” according to a document obtained by The Federalist. “Our office is continuing to review recent rule amendments voted on by the State Election Board (SEB) at...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is facing a powerful defamation lawsuit arising from false claims he made about a Republican election volunteer in his 2021 book “Integrity Counts.” He wrote and published that a video presentation of unsupervised ballot counting at State Farm Arena in Atlanta had been “doctored,” “chopped up,” “cut,” “sliced up,” and “deceptively sliced and edited so that it appeared to show the exact opposite of reality,” allegedly including a “slice of video that had removed the clear evidence” that the law had been followed.

Georgia voters deserve to know whether Brad Raffensperger, the state election board, and county boards of election violated the law in the 2020 election.The people who called the 2020 election the “most secure” in history have spent the past several years slandering as “election deniers” anyone who questions that election’s administration. But others remain frustrated by the many last-minute changes to election laws and processes that occurred shortly before that presidential contest — changes that in some cases may have been illegal. In Georgia, the state election board unanimously adopted a rule change in May 2020, citing Covid-19. It allowed...

Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, has been forced to spend half a million dollars defending himself in court for having stood up to former President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.The only way to spare himself from the defamation lawsuit he has been fighting, he and his lawyer say, would be to lie.The lawsuit centers on a 2020 video that purported to show election fraud in Georgia. The video, which was presented to state lawmakers, showed security footage of election workers tabulating ballots in Atlanta. Multiple news media outlets and the secretary of state’s office...

Former President Donald J. Trump suggested without evidence on Saturday that Georgia’s Republican governor was hampering his efforts to win the battleground state in November, a claim that carried echoes of Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn his defeat to President Biden there in 2020. “In my opinion, they want us to lose,” Mr. Trump said, accusing the state’s governor, Brian Kemp, and its secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, who is also a Republican, of being disloyal and trying to make life difficult for him. At a rally at the Georgia State University Convocation Center in Atlanta, in a speech that...

It has been 143 days since the Curling v. Raffensperger case rested and Judge Totenberg estimated “about 30 days” to make her ruling. Is she going to wait until it is too late to do anything with the voting machines? My guess is YES, she will delay her ruling until it is too late to do anything. Judge Totenberg is looking like she has been influenced or corrupted by pressure from the state. I bet she retires before making her ruling.

Puerto Rico’s elections commission has announced that is will be reviewing its contract prior to the November 2024 election with Dominion Voting Systems after finding hundreds of discrepancies while using over 6,000 Dominion Voting machines during their heated primary elections. ... machine-reported vote counts were lower than the paper ones in some cases, and some machines reversed certain totals or reported zero votes for some candidates. ... This isn’t the first time states or counties have discussed canceling their contracts with Dominion Voting Systems. In an interview with Georgia’s SOS Brad Raffensberger, who many believe is an untrustworthy election official,...

"A disaster for Donald Trump is brewing in Georgia, and a lot of people want to make excuses instead of calling this out for what it is. It’s so bad it could cost Trump the state of Georgia if bad actors in GOP leadership positions in Georgia aren’t removed and forced to resign." - Laura LoomerThanks to Laura we have found that a major political scandal may be unfolding in Georgia that could shake up the political landscape in the state. All of this revolves around Jason Thompson, the RNC Committeeman for Georgia. Questions about his loyalty and effectiveness in...

A new report at The Federalist confirmed The Gateway Pundit’s reporting from over a year ago that Brad Raffensperger’s office most certainly committed a crime in January 2021 during the Georgia Secretary of State’s office phone call with President Trump in late December 2020. On February 21, 2023, Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit discovered that Jordan Fuchs, Georgia’s Deputy Secretary of State in 2020, who was on the December 2020 call with President Trump, taped the call from Florida without announcing it. This was a criminal act since Florida is a two-party consent state. You must notify an individual...

On Thursday Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist confirmed our reporting from February last year. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare.

In Part 1 of this series on the explosive testimony and demonstration of University of Michigan Professor Dr. J Alex Halderman in the federal lawsuit Curling v. Raffensperger, The Gateway Pundit covered more in-depth the ease of exploiting the “BIC pen hack” and, further, the simple and inexpensive creation of voter, poll-worker, and, most importantly, technician Smart cards to attack the Dominion ICX BMD or ballot marking device. Part 1 can be read here. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/part-1-full-scope-dominion-icx-hack-federal/ But there was much more revealed in Judge Totenberg’s courtroom regarding the vulnerabilities of these electronic voting devices. To summarize Part 1, Dr. Halderman was...

Republican Gov. Brian Kemp (GA) opposes launching a criminal probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, instead preferring an oversight committee investigation that would slow-walk accountability, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) exclusively told Breitbart News. Kemp and Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr are seeking to use the state’s oversight committee to investigate Willis for her alleged improper relationship with a top prosecutor in their case against former President Donald Trump, according to Greene. The committee operates like a disciplinary commission with the power to remove county prosecutors from public office. As with all committees, they move very slowly and...

Raffensperger’s general counsel sent Factcheck.org a ‘legal analysis’ that attempted to discredit my analysis of the voter data. Election integrity advocates recently had a very important win when a federal district court ruled that challenging the eligibility of thousands of voters in Georgia did not constitute “voter intimidation.” Back in 2020, True the Vote, Derek Somerville and I, and three other activists were all sued by Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight organization for allegedly violating the Prohibited Acts section of the Voting Rights Act. We had independently organized two different sets of challenges to voters with residency issues ahead of Georgia’s...

The Gateway Pundit reported in late December, SOS Raffensperger was ordered by Judge Amy Totenberg to testify in the case, however, he immediately appealed that decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Yesterday afternoon, the 11th Circuit ruled that Raffensperger cannot be compelled to testify. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Order reads: Under the apex doctrine, “a district court should rarely, if ever, compel the attendance of a high-ranking official in a judicial proceeding…”…High-ranking “officials should not, absent extraordinary circumstances, be called to testify regarding their reasons for taking official actions.”…Specifically, to compel such an official’s testimony, there...

In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor. There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable. Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post. Raffensperger’s office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.
