With More Registrations Than Voting Age People In The County – Why Isn’t Forsyth County Cleaning Up Their Voter Rolls?

Yesterday, Forsyth County’s Board of Elections dismissed another group of over 700 challenges. Their reason: “Lack of evidence.” To answer this claim of lack of evidence they were given a CD confirming the existence of people having moved and registered in other States. Their response? They refused to accept the CD with the evidence they say is “missing.”

WATCH THE HEARING TESTIMONY AT BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE.

This catch 22 has played out numerous times over the past three years, with mounting evidence driven by he efforts of dozens of Forsyth residents and others acting on information supported by members of the Georgia State Board of Elections.

Recently, Dr. Jan Johnston stated that Forsyth voters roles hold more registrations than the number of voting age residents in the County. How could this be? Proponents say its because of a failure of the members of the Board to see that the rolls are accurate and timely.

During the meeting yesterday BOE member Anita Tucker attempted to deflect the attention to the Secretary of State, stating that the County uses information from the SoS to determine changes needed in the County roles.

The challenger, Stefan Bartelski pointed out that Georgia law places the responsibility for maintaining accurate voters rolls on the County BOEs. A position further confirmed during testimony by Ryan Germany during the Federal case between Stacy Abrams Fair Fight v. True the Vote. That case was ruled in True the Vote’s favor by Federal Judge Steve Jones.

Notably, in May 2022 the very same members of the Forsyth County Board of Elections voted unanimously to dismiss over 12,000 challenges for people who the challengers said had moved out of Forsyth.

Fulton County Moves To Destroy 2020 Election Ballots

VoterGA.org has released a statement on Fulton County’s attempt to destroy 2020 election ballots. The press release is below:

ATLANTA, GA, JUNE 25, 2024 – Attorneys for Fulton County Georgia argued in the Fulton counterfeit ballot case yesterday that a temporary injunction to preserve the 2020 Fulton election ballots should be lifted, which would allow ballots to be destroyed before they are unsealed, copied and revealed to the public. They also argued Fulton should receive attorney fees for the case even after a Georgia Supreme Court overturned lower court decisions to confirm standing for the Plaintiffs who seek to copy and inspect the ballots.

Attorney Laura Moore argued on behalf of Fulton Superior Court Clerk Che Alexander, who was present in the courtroom, that there is no longer room in a secure warehouse cage for the ballots so they may now be destroyed. Attorney Moore withheld from the court facts that Fulton County just opened a new 60,000 sq. ft. Election Operations warehouse at nearly $30 million of initial cost and an additional $4 million annual lease for Fulton taxpayers.

Wisconsin Elections Commission Accused of Being in Contempt of Court for Disregarding Temporary Restraining Order

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) is facing criticism for violating a temporary restraining order that’s in place concerning absentee ballot envelopes. The news comes on the heels of the partisan August 13 primary, just as clerks are preparing to mail out ballots.

On Monday, June 24, lawyers representing a Wisconsin voter named Thomas Oldenburg filed a motion accusing WEC of being in contempt of court.

For context, a Marinette County judge granted a temporary restraining order last month against WEC, saying that the state election commission must not require clerks to use newly-designed absentee ballot envelopes until the judge makes a final ruling. According to state law, these ballot envelopes were designed in a manner that violates existing Wisconsin election laws.

According to Wisconsin law, an absentee voter requesting a ballot via email must submit a signed ballot application inside of his or her ballot envelope in order for it to be counted. However, WEC attempted to roll out a new ballot envelope that requires voters to certify the envelopes themselves are the applications, which lawyers argue violates existing state election laws since an envelope can’t replace a legally-required application form.

Despite the judge’s order, WEC held a public meeting on June 10, 2024 where the commission openly discussed plans to disregard the TRO. The meeting can be viewed here via WisconsinEye.

“I think as an agency we should be proud of this envelope and encourage all of our clerks to please continue to use it because it’s really a terrific envelope,” said Commissioner Ann Jacobs.

WEC counsel Jim Witecha also said, “The form is not required for mandatory use and kind of recommend they proceed as they see fit. We do not believe that at this time it should impact the voters or the clerks if they continue to use it.”

What’s Happening in Lynchburg, Virginia? Shocking New Video Reveals Ballot Dropbox Left Open for Days, Mail-In Ballots Collected After Election, and No Security Camera Present!

As reported last week at The Gateway Pundit, the integrity of the Republican primary in Lynchburg has been called into question following a series of alleged procedural breaches.

The campaigns of Peter Alexander and Chris Faraldi, both candidates in the June 18th primary for City Council in Ward 4, reported multiple irregularities, including issues with mail-in ballots and potential breaches in the chain of custody.

According to the Lynchburg City Registrar, the race remains too close to call, with incumbent Chris Faraldi holding a narrow lead of 21 votes over Peter Alexander for the Ward 4 seat.

Concerns about the Lynchburg Republican primary center on several key issues. Primarily, there are significant concerns regarding the chain of custody of ballots collected from drop boxes.

Additionally, absentee ballot processing began before observers were permitted to monitor the process. Records also show that ballot box seals were broken before observers could watch, suggesting potential tampering or mishandling of ballots.

Nonpartisan Election Validity Group Files Landmark Lawsuit in Pennsylvania

United Sovereign Americans, Inc., a nonpartisan, all-volunteer election validity advocate group, and two Pennsylvania residents, have filed a Writ of Mandamus, directed to the following Pennsylvania officials and organizations – Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Bureau of Elections, the Bureau of Election Security and Technology, the Department of State, and the state Attorney General.

They have also named Attorney General Merrick Garland and the United States Department of Justice as additional “Respondents.”

They are claiming that the officials named above are not performing their duty to follow existing laws that safeguard our elections.

“A writ of mandamus is a judicial remedy in the English and American common law system consisting of a court order that commands a government official or entity to perform an act it is legally required to perform as part of its official duties, or to refrain from performing an act the law forbids it from doing. Writs of mandamus are usually used in situations where a government official has failed to act as legally required or has taken a legally prohibited action.”

The Petitioners assert, “The Congress of the United States has outlined the minimum standards which must be maintained by every state in order for a federal election to be considered reliable. As outlined below, in Pennsylvania’s 2022 federal election those minimum standards were not met by commonwealth election officials rendering the certified election results that year unreliable. Respondents in their official capacities engaged in insufficient efforts to ensure that the 2022 performance is not repeated in subsequent federal elections beginning in 2024.”

How non-citizens are getting voter registration forms across the US — and how Republicans are trying to stop it

Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.

Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

But millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 ordered states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and agencies where Americans apply for public benefits — and those offices are required by federal law to hand over the registration forms along with the application papers.

Illegals Voting Is The Most Serious Threat To Our Republic – For The Moment

Notice, I did not say “illegal voting” That’s fraud, in general, and that’s bad enough. I’m talking about the non-citizen invaders who have been instructed to vote for Biden. Where do they get their ID’s…?

How will this go down?. . I’ve come on one real possibility. Once again, I hope and pray I’m wrong, but it’s something we need to think about.

First, the Junta in DC KNOWS they cannot win an election where legitimate votes are cast and counted. Everybody else knows that, too. What happens from there is the stuff of the instant destruction of America, long in the planning.

We know about the machines – connected EVERYWHERE to the internet and available for switching of vote tallies anytime and in any election where they are used. This is PROVEN, not subject for debate.

We also understand that ballot harvesting, early voting and drop boxes allow the dishonest and desperate to see how the vote is coming in, and how they must alter it to “win”. We are hoping that the RNC discovers this soon…

Then came the information about illegals being TOLD TO VOTE FOR BIDEN, via message (in Spansh) sent to them from the HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) – sponsored Research Center Matamoras. I broke that on April 24.

So, let’s take it from there. MILLIONS of invaders are going to vote, illegally of course, in US elections this year. You might expect this to create long lines at local DMV offices around the country, as they register. Why is that NOT happening?

“I appreciate the attention and time the Statewide Prosecution Bureau put into these investigations. I hope these prosecutions will send a message that deters tampering with election results in the future in Connecticut.”

Neither Mr. Castillo nor the Bridgeport Democratic Party responded to requests for comment.

Voting machine contract under scrutiny following discrepancies in Puerto Rico’s primaries

Puerto Rico’s elections commission said Tuesday that it’s reviewing its contract with a U.S. electronic voting company after hundreds of discrepancies were discovered following the island’s heated primaries.

The problem stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals, said Jessika Padilla Rivera, the commission’s interim president.

While no one is contesting the results from the June 2 primary that correctly identify the winners, 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.

“The concern is that we obviously have elections in November, and we must provide the (island) not only with the assurance that the machine produces a correct result, but also that the result it produces is the same one that is reported,” Padilla said.

More than 6,000 Dominion voting machines were used in Puerto Rico’s primaries, with the company stating that software issues stemmed from the digital files used to export results from the machines.
