On Wednesday, the Georgia State Election Board held a hearing during which Joe Rossi, co-author of the now-famous SEB Complaint 2023-025, was afforded the opportunity to finally present a rebuttal to a previously-heard report from the Secretary of State’s office in May 2024.  During that May hearing, neither Rossi nor co-author Kevin Moncla were afforded an opportunity to rebut the report to the SEB.

Among other severe issues, one of 2023-025’s claims was that 3,125 ballots were actually duplicate ballots added to the final machine count on December 4, 2020.  According to Rossi’s testimony, that number is now up to 3,900, allegedly found by the Department of Justice in its investigation, which Rossi disclosed has already begun.

Rossi showed an example of how the duplicated ballots were scanned in a way that makes it highly unlikely that it was a “human error” or mistake, and also difficult to discover.  Rossi described the “shuffling” of ballots during the hearing in the clip below:

In addition to the 3,900 duplicated ballots in the December machine recount, Rossi also discovered 6,961 ballots in Fulton County that were double- and triple-counted during the hand-recount on November 16, 2020.  This discovery was confirmed by Governor Brian Kemp’s office in November 2021, and a letter was issued to the Georgia Secretary of State from the governor’s office.

Fulton County officials and the Secretary of State’s office had repeatedly denied any discrepancy in the counts and continually pointed to the fact that there were three recounts that all aligned.

However, yesterday during the SEB hearing, Joe Rossi disclosed that the Elections Group’s Michael Prendergast sent an email to then-Deputy Director Nadine Williams and then-Elections Director Richard Barron with an attachment that detailed “multiple errors in the hand-count/audit results” consistent, but not as extensive, as those discovered by Rossi and documented in his complaint.

The email was sent on November 19, 2020, just three days after the hand-count results were reported.

Richard Barron was the then-Elections Director that reached out to another Elections Group member, Ryan Macias, via email on December 3, 2020 at 12:06pm over concerns about the second (and official) machine count coming in at approx. 511,000 votes, 17,000 votes shy of the approx. 528,000 initially reported.

By the next morning, 16,198 votes were added to the report to bring it up to the necessary number of votes.

 

WATCH:

The document Rossi presented to the SEB reads:

A November 19, 2020, email from Mr. Michael Prendergast to Deputy Elections Director Nadine Williams, and copied to Elections Director Richard Barron, carries an attachment which details multiple errors in the hand-count/audit results.  Most of which are the same errors discovered by Mr. Joe Rossi and documented by the Governor who referred the matter to the State Election Board for investigation and correction.  The case, SEB 2021-181, confirmed that 6,691 fictitious votes were in fact added to the hand-count/audit results, but were never corrected.  The email correspondence establishes that Fulton County election officials knew of the errors at the time, even the same day that the Secretary of State released the results.  Those officials knew that the hand-count/audit results did not match nor substantiate the November 03, 2020 election results.

Email correspondence discussing potential corrections and adjustments, including attachments for review, sent on November 19, 2020.

Here is that attachment (below is the attachment with the numbers for the corresponding batches as presented to the SEB):

This is a shocking revelation considering the criminal charges levied against President Trump and his 18 co-defendants in a racketeering case for challenging election results and designating an alternate slate of electors.

Despite these inconsistencies that were discovered and concealed in Fulton County, several other counties had large discrepancies between the first machine count on November 3rd and the hand-count initiated two weeks later.  Those include the counties of Floyd (approx. 2600 extra ballots), Douglas (over 275 extra ballots), Fayette (approx. 2800 extra ballots), and Walton (284 extra ballots).  All four counties yielded net increases for President Trump.

Those same voting systems were used in the January 5, 2021 run-off election that ultimately handed the Biden administration control of the Senate with the elections of Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

If those discrepancies had been remedied in the November 3rd count, would a run-off have been necessary?  And had Fulton County acknowledged this discrepancy, would those machines have been investigated and perhaps deemed unacceptable for use in the January 5th run-off?
