Fulton County Short by Over Forty (40) Boxes According to Affidavit; County Requests Court to Order DOJ Return Evidence

Last month, the FBI executed a search warrant in Fulton County to take possession of election records that were retained under a court-ordered injunction.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the contents outlined in the search warrant, including all physical ballots, all tabulator tapes, all ballot images, and all voter rolls for the 2020 election.

Several of those items will be difficult to produce according to previous responses to open records requests lawfully seeking them.  For example, Fulton County only provided 9 of 148 tabulator zero tapes for advance voting tabulators, despite repeated attempts to compel them to provide more.

Fulton County provided tabulator almost all of the closing tapes for advance voting, which show the total votes cast and the results for each specific tabulator.  Georgia rules and regulations require those tapes be signed by the precinct manager and two witnesses; however, none of the required signatures were present on each tape.

The advance voting tabulators were instead brought back to the county’s election warehouse where each memory card was removed from the 148 tabulators and then “closed out” on 16 separate tabulators, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.  

“All ballot images produced during the original ballot count beginning on November 3, 2020” will also prove difficult to produce.  During a Request for Admissions conducted on behalf of plaintiffs in Curling v. Raffensperger, Fulton County admitted that they failed to preserve “the majority of ballot images from in-person voting.”

Report: Veteran Police Officer Fired After Telling Biological Male to Stay Out of Women’s Bathroom

A Georgia police officer who responded to a plea from a mother with two kids to ban a man from a public library bathroom has been fired.

Former officer Glen Weaver was axed from the DeKalb County Police Department, according to the Center Square.

The October incident at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library in Tucker, Georgia, began when a woman with two children complained to a security guard that a man was in the bathroom. The man was transgender Sarah Rose Swinton, who claimed Weaver told him “That’s the women’s restroom and you’re not a woman. That’s obvious.”

Swinton complained, with the complaint going through channels until it reached the top of the DeKalb county Police Department, which sent back down a directive to fire Weaver, even though the department has a policy that says a first infraction requires only a reprimand.

Weaver regrets losing his job, but not what he did.

“There were women and children in the bathroom when he was in there,” Weaver said. “If I was a father, and I had my daughter going to the bathroom, and I’m waiting for her to come out and this dude comes walking into the bathroom – there would have been an issue.”

“I’m a Team Player” – Senator David Perdue Grand Jury Testimony Claims Gov. Brian Kemp Stopped 2020 Election Investigation

Last month, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee lifted the protective order shielding the special grand jury transcripts used to indict former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia.

Among the newly unsealed documents was the testimony of former U.S. Senator David Perdue — a key candidate in the 2020 election who was forced into a January 5, 2021, runoff against Democrat Jon Ossoff after winning the November 3 election by 90,000 votes, but falling short of the fifty percent threshold necessary.

On September 6, 2022, Perdue appeared before the special grand jury for questioning. One of his interrogators was none other than disgraced prosecutor Nathan Wade — the same man later exposed for his affair with District Attorney Fani Willis.

Wade pressed Perdue on one of Georgia’s most contentious election-night controversies: the events at State Farm Arena. “You’re talking about State Farm Arena and the things that happened in that video, I’m assuming,” Wade said. “Since then, the Secretary of State’s Office, the GBI — multiple investigations — have looked into that and found that nothing illegal occurred.”

Perdue seemed unmoved: “That’s your opinion,” he fired back. “That’s not fact.”

Wade shot back and asked if Perdue at least acknowledged that the GBI had looked into the matter.

His answer was cautious but cutting: “Those so-called investigations… occurred,” he said, “but not to my satisfaction.”

Then came a shocking admission. When asked by Wade why he doubted the GBI’s integrity, Perdue dropped a bombshell.

“In November of ’21,” he testified, “the head of the GBI, Vic Reynolds, called me — it’s a matter of record. He told me, ‘We’re not going to investigate. The governor wants me to tell you why we’re not going to investigate.’ I said, ‘Please do.’ Because back in May, he had seen the evidence — video footage, cell phone records, testimony, bank data — all consistent with ballot harvesting. He told me himself it was compelling to be investigated.  That was in May of 2021.”

Perdue paused before revealing the rest. “Then, in November, he calls and says, ‘We’re not going to investigate because…I’m a team player. If the governor doesn’t want to investigate, we’re not going to investigate.’”

Another Georgia Democrat is charged with fraud — the third in the last month

The Department of Justice scored a Democrat fraud hat trick in Georgia: A third politician has been charged with fraudulently obtaining unemployment funds from the government.

Georgia state Rep. Dexter Sharper, a Democrat, was charged Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice with “making false statements to fraudulently obtain thousands” in COVID-related funds after he allegedly claimed unemployment benefits while he kept working.

Sharper applied for the benefits in 2020 that were available as a result of the pandemic, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg.

He allegedly claimed that he was unemployed and obtained about $13,825 in unemployment while he was actually making up to $2,231 of income per week at one job and up to an additional $275 weekly as a musician. He applied for the benefits and then made fraudulent weekly statements that he wasn’t working in order to receive unemployment payments, prosecutors said.

Fulton County’s Voter Rolls Might Have a Massive Problem

Georgia State Senator Greg Dolezal has brought forward new information that exposes massive seemingly-fraudulent voter registrations in the state’s deep-blue Fulton County.

Georgia state-law requires that voters register using their primary residence rather than a P.O. box or any other type of address. In Dolezal’s newly released video, he revealed numerous allegedly fraudulent registration locations across Fulton County according to the January voter rolls.

He discovered that 70 people were registered at a single UPS store, 19 people registered at an abandoned home, 138 people registered at a location run by virtual mailbox business Physical Address, 1900 people registered at a homeless shelter outside of the Georgia State Capitol, 70 people registered at a homeless shelter that closed nearly a decade ago, and 96 people registered at a second UPS store.

Dolezal also revealed that thousands of people were registered to vote with a birth year of 1800 or 1900. Jason Fraizer, who did much of the background research for Dolezal, claims that these birth years are used when an individual does not know their date of birth, and therefore cannot be verified as a legal resident. Frazier also stated that the voter rolls contain hundreds of duplicate registrations or multiple variations of the same name of a registered voter at a single address.

Third Georgia Democrat State Lawmaker Charged with Defrauding Federal Government

Another day, another corrupt Democrat.

Georgia Democrat State Rep. Dexter Sharper was charged with defrauding the federal government by falsely claiming unemployment while he earned income.

According to federal prosecutors, Rep. Sharper collected nearly $14,000 in emergency Covid benefits while earning money from income.

“While many of his constituents and fellow citizens were losing jobs and desperately needed unemployment assistance during the pandemic, Representative Sharper allegedly pretended to be out of work to collect a share of unemployment benefits for himself,” said US Attorney Theodore Hertzberg.

“When government officials lie to take money, and do it while holding an elected office, it violates the trust of citizens and weakens faith in our elected government,” he added.

CBS News reported:

A third member of the Georgia House of Representatives has been accused of lying to collect thousands of dollars in unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. Dexter L. Sharper, who represents District 177, is the latest Democratic lawmaker facing federal charges of making false statements to obtain funds administered by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Investigators say Sharper applied for unemployment benefits from April 2020 to May 2021, claiming to have had only one employer, Dexter Sharper Party Rental. In the application, Sharper allegedly stated that he had not worked since March 13, 2020, claiming in 38 separate weekly certifications that he had not worked and was actively seeking employment.

However, prosecutors say the Valdosta man was working in the Georgia General Assembly in addition to running his party rental business and performing as a musician.

Authorities say Sharper collected more than $13,000 of unemployment assistance benefits during that time.

Dexter Sharper is the third Democrat state lawmaker to be charged with defrauding the federal government in the last few months.

Earlier this month, Georgia state Rep. Karen Bennett was indicted by a federal grand jury for Covid fraud.

Sen. Mark Warner’s Attack On DNI Election Raid Falls Flat

Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner slammed Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard over her presence during the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) execution of a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub in Georgia on Wednesday.

Warner claimed Gabbard “has got no business interfering in elections” and warned that her actions should “concern the heck out of every American.” His attack is yet another example of Democrats ignoring clear federal statutes in an attempt to control the narrative.

Federal law explicitly assigns the DNI a leadership role in safeguarding elections from foreign exploitation. Under 50 U.S.C. § 3371d, the DNI oversees counterintelligence matters related to election security, including assessing risks to voting systems, software, voter registration databases, and other infrastructure. Warner’s claim that Gabbard has “no business” in elections also ignores 50 U.S.C. § 3024, which requires all Intelligence Community (IC) elements to provide the DNI access to necessary intelligence for oversight and integration.

Warner’s attack frames the DNI investigation as domestic meddling, but it’s central to the DNI’s counterintelligence duties. Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County raid falls within her authority as DNI. In fact, it would arguably be negligent of her office if she chose not to participate in the investigation into potential voting system and election security vulnerabilities.

FBI Raids Fulton County Elections Center

FBI agents descended Wednesday on Fulton County’s election operations hub in Georgia, the same county that became the epicenter of voter fraud complaints following the 2020 election.

Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a facility opened in 2023 and billed by state officials as a way to streamline election administration.

Authorities would not say exactly what prompted the search, but Fox News Digital was told the matter is tied to the 2020 election. The FBI declined further comment, and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.

FBI Atlanta confirmed it was “executing a court authorized law enforcement action” at the address of the county’s elections hub on Wednesday afternoon.

In an email to 11Alive, the FBI’s Atlanta office said agents were operating at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Road in Union City, which serves as Fulton County’s main election operations center.

“Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that I can provide at the moment,” a spokesperson said in the email.

An 11Alive crew was dispatched to Union City to gather additional information.

The federal activity comes weeks after the Justice Department sued Fulton County over access to election materials from the 2020 presidential race, keeping scrutiny on a county long at the center of election integrity battles.

Email Shows Top Fulton County Election Officials KNEW About Election Count Discrepancies in November 2020

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.

JUST IN: Another Georgia State Democrat Lawmaker Arrested and Charged with Defrauding Federal Government

Another Georgia Democrat state lawmaker has been arrested and charged with fraud.

Georgia state Rep. Karen Bennett was indicted by a federal grand jury on Monday for Covid fraud.

Bennett is a pro-BLM, defund the police activist.

Prosecutors said Bennett defrauded taxpayers after she obtained COVID-19 unemployment benefits, despite her business remaining open during the pandemic.

She was charged with one count of false statements.

According to WSB-TV, Bennett was released on a $10,000 bond.

WSB-TV reported:

A second Georgia lawmaker has been charged with defrauding taxpayers by receiving pandemic unemployment assistance that she was not entitled to.

A federal grand jury indicted State Rep. Karen Bennett (D-Stone Mountain) on Monday.

Prosecutors say she received $13,940 for her in-home physical therapy company, Metro Therapy Providers, which she says could not operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, investigators say the company was only briefly closed, and remained open through the majority of the pandemic.

On her application, Bennett only reported receiving income from Metro Therapy and the Georgia General Assembly. But she failed to disclose that she was also employed through a church and receiving more than $900 weekly.

She was indicted on one count of making false statements.

Last month, Georgia Democrat state legislator Sharon Henderson was arrested and charged with defrauding the federal government.
