President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump won’t let go of the narrative that his 2020 reelection was “stolen” from him. Maybe it’s just his vanity. Maybe it’s just something that dinged his pride and he can’t let go of the fact that he lost. Or maybe he’s 100 percent right and another piece of evidence just dropped.

The Georgia State Election Board’s investigation confirmed that Fulton County violated election regulations in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign the required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts. This oversight affected about 315,000 ballots.

The absence of these signatures compromised the chain of custody and certification requirements established by Georgia law, which specifies that signed tapes serve as the only legal proof of accurate vote totals.

During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, the attorney representing the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, acknowledged that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”

Yikes.

“It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership, and a new building, and a new board, and a new standard operating procedures. And since then, the training has been enhanced. But we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”

David Cross, a dedicated local election integrity activist, raised a serious concern when he filed a formal challenge with the Georgia State Election Board in March 2022. He claimed that Fulton County improperly counted approximately 315,000 early votes in the 2020 election, lacking the necessary poll worker signatures on the tabulator tapes.
