Georgia Senate Calls for a Real Audit of Ballots

The Georgia Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee on December 30th, 2020 held a hearing on election fraud. After more overwhelming evidence was exposed, and testimony from several experts, the Committee voted unanimously for a real audit of the paper absentee ballots cast in Fulton County.

And this will not be the ‘risk-limiting’ audit as done previously by orders of the Georgia Governor. That audit was proved to be faulty and untrustworthy as it ran the same ballots back through the same machines, witnesses were held back and inconsistencies in the vote counts were ignored.

In the previous audit, several elections officials testified that over a dozen counties were “ordered by the Secretary of State office” to certify their election counts in the audit even though they could not get their numbers to reconcile. One official said after five times of running the ballots, every time they reran the ballots through the counter, they came up with a different number of votes. It was unexplainable, and therefore, she had no confidence in the election or the audit.

STACKS OF BALLOTS COUNTED MULTIPLE TIMES, COUNTERFEIT BALLOTS

In a previous Georgia State House hearing, election officials provided live testimony proving ballots can be run through the machine multiple times, and all the duplicate votes would be counted.

This causes an excessive overvote, presumably for Joe Biden. And this was one of the multiple new pieces of evidence brought forth at the December 30th hearing.

Among many other incidents, video evidence was shown of election workers scanning stacks of ballots multiple times.

After 11 pm on November 3rd, in the State Farm Arena, all observers were told to leave under the guise of a water main break. They were told to go home, the counting was being stopped, and ballot counting would not resume until the next day.

As soon as all the observers left, four women started running the machines and counting votes. The new video clearly shows at least two women at their desks running a stack of ballots into the scanning/counter machine, then removing the stack and running it back through machines counting the same stacks of ballots several times.

A witness also gave testimony of how she found stacks of identical ballots, with perfect markings and no folds. An absentee ballot would have folds in the paper. There was no way to explain how on multiple ballots the same exact markings were on every single category of a vote. It appeared the ballots were exact copies of one another from a machine.

THE PAPER AND CODE EXPERT

The expert witness that will conduct the audit free of charge to the state is Jovan Hutton Pulitzer. He holds over 200 patents on bar code scanning and QR codes. He is an expert on paper “to the nano level.” He has tools and methodology to be able to audit the paper ballots in a fast time. But Fulton County has to give him access to the ballots. That may be the challenge.

Vote verification can be analyzed by looking at the paper ballots. All absentee ballots mailed would be folded into an envelope. The fold in the paper will always be there once folded.

The ballots can be counterfeit if a machine filled in the vote bubbles rather than people filling out the ballot. Mr. Pulitzer can also determine if ballots were batch fed over and over into a machine.

Mr. Pulitzer said the audit of the paper ballots would be 100% verifiable. “We would be able to tell if they were folded, if they were counterfeit, whether they were filled out by a human hand, whether they were printed by a machine, whether they were batch-fed continually over and over, we can detect every bit of that,” Pulitzer said.

The vote by the state Senators was unanimous to get Fulton County absentee ballots available for an audit by Mr. Pulitzer.

One of the most shocking new evidence revealed was that in Fulton County the ballots in more Republican-leaning precincts were printed completely differently than the ballots in the same County in more Democrat-leaning precincts.

The Democrat-leaning precincts of Fulton County had a bar code on the top that helped identify, verify, and count the ballot. The Republican area ballots had no bar codes.

The marker on the ballots for the more Democrat voting areas was centered correctly, so it was accepted by the machines. The Republican area ballot in the same county has the target markers off-center, causing the ballots to be rejected by the machines, so they had to be adjudicated.

Adjudication means that a human has to take the ballot that was rejected by the tabulation machines, scan it, determine what is wrong with the ballot and fix it to the intent of the voter.

It was proven in a previous hearing, and again in this hearing, that the people (adjudicators) doing the adjudications of rejected ballots had the ability to change the votes on the ballots! There were no witnesses watching what the adjudicators do. Unmonitored they literally could change thousands of Republican votes. And when a ballot is adjudicated, there is no paper trail. And there is no audit trail as to who electronically touched the ballot. This is stunning and unacceptable.

As a result of the way the ballots were printed, Republican-leaning ballots were rejected 93% of the time, as reported by one election worker, forcing the ballots to go to adjudication and open to having the vote changed by the election worker.

During election night, the Fulton County Georgia State Election Director reported on television that 113 130 votes were counted and 106,000 had to be adjudicated. The national average of national elections is 1. 2% of ballots have to be adjudicated, and Fulton County had 93.67% of ballots rejected and adjudicated during election night.

The Senate committee voted unanimously to request Fulton County to make all absentee ballots, which are paper ballots, available to be inspected and audited by Mr. Pulitzer.

According to the Epoch Times, The Superior Court of Fulton County will hold a hearing on Monday, January 4th to hear the Emergency Petition to visually inspect and forensically examine all Fulton County mail-in ballots.

And once this is complete, if they find what they believe they will find, will the state legislature be able to convene and decertify the election? They are running out of time! Stay tuned!
