During a December 9 hearing before the State Election Board (SEB), the attorney for Fulton County’s Board of Registration and Elections (BRE), Ann Brumbaugh, “did not dispute” the fact that over 315,000 ballots in Fulton County were missing signatures on the poll tapes, as required by Ga. Comp. R & Regs. 183-1-14-.02(15) and O.C.G.A. § 21-2-483(h).
This was in response to a complaint submitted to the SEB in March 2022, 33 months prior to the SEB hearing.
In addition to the poll tapes being unsigned, another egregious and concerning discovery was made: the poll tapes were altered to make it appear as if the machines they came from were the ones from the precincts where the ballots were scanned at.
Concerning Response to Open Records Requests
Prior to the December 9th, 2025 admission, and even the March 2022 complaint, Fulton County had a different response.
In an Open Records Request submitted by the Election Oversight Group for the poll tape records that were subject to the March 2022 complaint, Fulton County Attorney Steve Rosenberg responded in writing so there was “a record of our response.”
In the response, Rosenberg states that “the zero tapes are printed on paper that resembles old-style receipts” and that “they fade and they fade even more when handled.”
He then states that they’ve received “a number of requests for these and other poll tapes” and that “over time, the zero tapes have become almost completely faded” and then says that he provided what they maintain and can locate “that still has some printing on it.”
Then he claims that the “consolation is that the Secretary of State’s office maintains the originals” and says that a request should be sent to their office.
