Lawfare: The Ignored Criticism
Earlier this month, the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) was set to lastly hear the damning criticism that alleged over 17k poll pictures didn’t exist or had been “lacking,” 3k ballots had been counted twice, and 20k ballots had been attributed to tabulators that Fulton County has been unable to point out even exist within the 2020 election.
It might sound far-fetched, however as said on the Voice of Rural America podcast, it was made a “Class 3” criticism by investigators, which is essentially the most extreme, in accordance with the complainant, Joe Rossi.

Then, with out rationalization, SEB 2023-023 was faraway from the Dec nineteenth SEB listening to and continued for one more listening to that has not but been decided. SEB 2023-025 was submitted over a yr in the past on July 8, 2022.
A supply concerned with the criticism instructed The Gateway Pundit that it was continued as a result of “the investigators couldn’t reply primary questions concerning the criticism.”
Lawfare: The E mail
Two days after the criticism was eliminated by the SEB, it was revealed by the Altantic Journal-Constitution that the SEB had requested the FBI to research one of many complainants over an e-mail. The referred e-mail was dated September twenty first, 2023.
The AJC article was revealed on December 21, 2023, simply two days after the highly-criticized SEB eliminated the criticism from its listening to.
The AJC article cites 4 quick quotes from the 7-page e-mail. These quotes are as follows:
“Mr. Mashburn, hear effectively. There will probably be no extra excuses. I’m placing you on discover that I will probably be holding you accountable,”
“There are 19 individuals whose lives grasp within the steadiness as a result of they knew Georgia’s 2020 Basic Election and Senate run-off outcomes had been flawed. These individuals had been proper. You’ll be able to both correctly examine our complaints and confirm the info or I’ll present you publicly within the media.”
“It’s possible you’ll assume that the Canine and Pony present yesterday concluded the matter – in that case, you’re sadly mistaken. I urge you to ponder and rethink your obligations and place – for you’re attorneys. I think about that a few of you want to proceed to be.”
“We are able to tackle these issues privately or publicly however make no mistake – they are going to be addressed.”
The article additionally states that:
“It’s considered one of a string of unsubstantiated complaints filed by election conspiracists since Democrat Joe Biden defeated Trump by about 12,000 votes in Georgia’s 2020 election. Three vote counts confirmed Biden’s victory and a number of investigations have debunked allegations of fraud.”
As talked about, the e-mail was 7-pages lengthy and addressed to a number of state officers. These quotes want the context of all the e-mail, which was unmentioned within the AJC article.
For starters, the e-mail opens with:
I’m responding to you tonight in order that you’ll “have all the data” you want with time to spare. We’re exasperated at being instructed to supply 48-hour turnaround service on a matter that has been pending since no less than the date we drafted the criticism (July 8, 2022). Please perceive that almost all of this data was introduced to the Governor or the Secretary of State even earlier than that date and we now have spent plenty of time and treasure attempting to get somebody to overview this evaluation. So despite the fact that we could specific our frustration, we’re heartened by the truth that somebody is definitely studying what we submitted greater than 14 months in the past.
It’s clearly said that there’s frustration that it has taken over 14 months for a listening to, which is now at 17 months and counting after the most recent removing from the listening to.
Georgia has performed elections in that timeframe, together with an necessary Midterm Election that noticed the re-election of each Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Raffensperger gained with simply sufficient votes to keep away from a run-off (53.2%) regardless of polling considerably decrease than 50% all the election cycle.
Whereas the e-mail expressed apparent frustration from the dearth of concern, it additionally expressed a way of encouragement that somebody is lastly studying it.
Prophetically, given the referral to the FBI, after mentioning a lawsuit filed towards True the Vote, the e-mail goes on to ask:
“Will we now be the targets of an investigation? Like True the Vote, are we too in jeopardy or liable to being sued by the State Election Board for searching for redress and treatment from our authorities for fraud, waste, and abuse? Does anybody on the Secretary of State’s workplace need to acknowledge that we now have a First Modification proper to petition our authorities for a [sic] redress of grievances?”
The complainants had each proper to be annoyed. As they said, it had been 424 days because the criticism was submitted and the SEB was simply now asking for the supply knowledge. This contradicts a earlier report referenced from the Secretary of State’s Basic Counsel Charlene McGowan. In accordance with the e-mail:
4-hundred-and-twenty-four (424) days have handed since we filed this criticism. How is it that supply knowledge is simply now being sought? Contemplating solely days in the past Ms. McGowan reported to the board: “…the investigation is (sic) has been full however Mr. Rossi “retains asking that the scope of the investigation be broadened past the unique criticism,”
How might it have been accomplished with out accessing the supply knowledge? And if the info has already been referenced, why is Mr. Zagorin now searching for it from us? Is contesting his rationalization for the lacking poll pictures we all know to be false, “broadening the scope”?
The e-mail then addresses not solely the dearth of curiosity by authorities officers to make sure the election was the ‘most secure election in historical past’, but additionally calls out the media for the false-narrative pushed on the Those that the courts have heard the proof (that is ridiculously false as nearly all instances had been dismissed on standing or different procedurals earlier than an evidentiary listening to was ever performed):
The data you now search has been obtainable to you since December of 2020 and certain earlier than. It was obtained by us and plenty of others — solely on account of hard-fought litigation – in each the pending Fulton County poll case matter, whereas the media continues to report that there’s “no proof” of any irregularity within the 2020 election, or within the Curling case, which has hardly moved to any conclusion over the six years it has been moldering within the Federal courtroom. And the media experiences that the courts have “heard the proof.” that’s not true
The Media
Persevering with with the Mockingbird Media narrative, beneath are the final three paragraphs of the e-mail, of which the AJC cited 5 consecutive sentences and introduced them as two quotes (the AJC quotes are underlined):
“Mr. Mashburn, please be suggested that we now have filed a number of very critical complaints documenting the very critical issues with Georgia’s elections over the course of practically three years. We have now been very affected person and really understanding. Other than these which had been referred to the SEB by Governor Kemp, our complaints have been ignored.
In reality, our complaints have been prevented. Now video games are being performed and I’ve grown drained.
I’m talking just for myself right here. Mr. Mashburn, hear effectively. There will probably be no extra excuses. I’m placing you on discover that I will probably be holding you accountable. There are 19 individuals whose lives grasp within the steadiness as a result of they knew Georgia’s 2020 Basic Election and Senate run-off outcomes had been flawed. These individuals had been proper. You’ll be able to both correctly examine our complaints and confirm the info or I’ll present you publicly within the media. You’re the chairman of the State Election Board, which is the one entity within the state of Georgia who has the authority to research, acknowledge, and treatment the travesty that you’re witnessing. We have now the receipts- not only for Fulton County, however for a number of counties throughout the state. Protect all information and communications, Mr. Mashburn. I count on to listen to from you by midday on Monday.
If we can assist clarify what you will have that you don’t perceive, please be happy to name on us. You might have our phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Thanks.”
There isn’t a risk of violence in anyway. There’s a rising frustration that the desire of the Folks is being intentionally ignored and if it continues, there will probably be a public disclosure within the media.
Sadly, because the AJC has confirmed, there’s extra curiosity within the media to help willful subversions by highlighting persecutions of those that deliver proof.
The e-mail is strictly proper: there are mountains of proof that might exonerate the 19 people talked about within the Fulton County RICO case if these complaints are investigated and confirmed appropriate.
These people are being threatened with jail time and expending a whole lot of hundreds, maybe thousands and thousands, of {dollars} from the life financial savings and thru grassroots fundraising.
The AJC mentions a follow-up e-mail despatched to the SEB three months later and proper after the removing of the criticism from the Dec. nineteenth listening to. The portion quoted by the AJC hit piece is beneath:
“It’s possible you’ll assume that the Canine and Pony present yesterday concluded the matter – in that case, you’re sadly mistaken. I urge you to ponder and rethink your obligations and place – for you’re attorneys. I think about that a few of you want to proceed to be.
We are able to tackle these issues privately or publicly however make no mistake – they are going to be addressed. As all the time, I’m obtainable any time to debate these issues.”
What’s lacking from the e-mail referenced is the declare made in between the above quotes about considered one of Fulton County’s staff, a Nigerian overseas nationwide who beforehand labored for Dominion in the course of the 2020 election in Fulton County as their unique Dominion technician after which shortly after was given a job with Fulton County at double his earlier wage.
Alas, possibly that’s what was referred to the FBI for investigation? Extra to return on this.
Lawfare: ‘No Proof’
The AJC, similar to many of the Mockingbird Media shops, makes use of the important thing catchphrases drummed up by lazy (or extremely partisan) journalists. Phrases like “unsubstantiated,” “debunked” and “election conspiracists” whereas citing “three vote counts verify[ing] Biden’s victory and a number of investigations have debunked allegations of fraud.”
It’s considered one of a string of unsubstantiated complaints filed by election conspiracists since Democrat Joe Biden defeated Trump by about 12,000 votes in Georgia’s 2020 election. Three vote counts confirmed Biden’s victory and a number of investigations have debunked allegations of fraud.
The 2 related linked citations, all from sourced from the AJC, predate the signed Fulton County Consent Agreement with the SEB over 36 inconsistencies within the hand recount.
These inconsistencies, which accounted for a number of thousand extra votes for Joe Biden, haven’t but been adequately defined. However they’d been investigated and confirmed by the Governor’s Workplace earlier than they had been referred to the SEB for overview.
In some way the Nov. 3 Election Day rely matched the hand rely nearly completely regardless of the a number of thousand double and triple counted ballots. It appears extremely unbelievable that hundreds and hundreds of double and triple counted ballots would nearly completely add as much as the rely it was used to verify. And that might open up one other concern: why was the hand-count off by a number of hundreds when the double/triple counted batches are eliminated?
The claims made in SEB 2023-025 are much more damning:
- 17k lacking poll pictures
- 3k duplicate ballots counted
- 20k ballots ran by 10 tabulators that don’t have any information in anyway, in accordance with a number of open information requests
That is along with, and in congruence with, a specialist declaration submitted by the inventor of the risk-limiting audit, Professor Philip Stark of UC Berkley, on March 9, 2022 within the Curling v Raffensperger case set for trial on January ninth:
For the primary machine rely, manufacturing included pictures of ballots or BMD printout playing cards for under 168,726 of the 528,776 solid vote information: 376,863 picture information are lacking. For the second machine rely, Fulton County’s manufacturing included pictures of ballots or BMD printout playing cards for 510,073 of the 527,925 solid vote information: 17,852 picture information are lacking.
The above portion of the knowledgeable declaration was additionally confirmed by Professor Duncan Buell of the College of South Carolina in his January 11, 2022 knowledgeable declaration for the Curling v Raffensperger case. The precise quote above was talked about within the e-mail the AJC cited, however wasn’t talked about within the article.
The investigation that led to the SEB 2023-025 criticism additionally arrived on the similar quantity as Professors Stark and Buell: 17,852 lacking picture information.
For the SEB, a authorities company, to check with the FBI a personal citizen who has seemingly executed extra work investigating the 2020 and 2022 Election than anybody we entrust with our election administration on the state and county degree is absolutely the weaponization of presidency towards it’s Folks.
And if the Atlanta Journal-Structure ignored 7-pages of proof, backed up by declarations from knowledgeable witnesses in an ongoing federal case, then it must be thought-about there’s an much more sinister plot than merely ignoring the proof, however somewhat gathering public help for the persecution of those that want a redress of grievances.
I’ve reached out to the AJC creator, Greg Bluestein, to inquire as to how a lot of the 7-page e-mail he was offered.
If you need to assist the complainants of their continued investigations, and now doubtlessly their struggle towards the weaponization of legislation enforcement, please help them here.
