Georgia Secretary of State Announces Statewide Ballot Audit

https://www.newsmax.com/politi...20/12/17/id/1002101/

Georgia's secretary of state has relented and announced a statewide signature-matching effort for the November election.

President Donald Trump's campaign claimed voter fraud and has requested that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger order such an audit since the election ended.

Signatures for absentee ballots in all of Georgia's 159 counties will be reviewed, per The Washington Times.

Raffensperger's announcement came less than three weeks before the Jan. 5 Georgia U.S. Senate runoff election for both seats in the upper chamber. The election will determine which party will hold a Senate majority.

The University of Georgia will partner with the secretary's office to analyze a random sampling of signatures from each county for mail-in ballots during the November election, a Thursday press release said. The audit is expected to wrap up in two weeks.

"We are confident that elections in Georgia are secure, reliable and effective," Mr. Raffensperger said.

"Despite endless lawsuits and wild allegations from Washington, D.C., pundits, we have seen no actual evidence of widespread voter fraud, though we are investigating all credible reports. Nonetheless, we look forward to working with the University of Georgia on this signature match review to further instill confidence in Georgia’s voting systems."

The state already was auditing signatures for mail-in ballots in Cobb County, an Atlanta suburb. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is helping with that effort.

"The Trump campaign claimed that Cobb County did not properly conduct signature match in June," Jordan Fuchs, Georgia’s deputy secretary of state said. "After the countywide audit, we will look at the entire state. We will look at the entire election to make sure signature match was executed properly."

Georgia was among several battleground states accused of widespread voter fraud, centering on mail-in ballots, by President Trump.

The president lost the state by 0.2 percent or 11,779 votes.

^^^If breaking, shocking, and biblical are out...can we say hell has frozen over?

Kidding aside, the "random sampling is going to be a freaking joke. It's another delay tactic to run out the clock, which may make the legal challenges even more difficult because they can say they are examining the ballots.

We might need to look for those just entering politics like Mark Robinson.

President Trump became President as a non-politician, so I am hopeful we can find others.
George Washington did not necessarily want to be President.

Politicians are corrupt because they think they cannot be replaced.
We need show them that, that is a false assumption.

Heck, yes!

When they screw us over they need to feel the heat and pressure of a face to face conversation from the ones they represent.

Heck, yes!!

Regurgitated hearsay. Was initially brought up a few pages back.

Noise and more noise. So the Supreme Court justices were arguing over a case. Isn't that what they are supposed to do? So it got a little heated and one justice loudly said something that was overheard by some clerk and or someone else and was leaked to the media. So what? does anyone think this is going to change anyone's mind or reverse the outcome of the election?

This and so many other things are the shiny things we are supposed to be looking at. This is in Trump's and only Trump's hands at this point imo. Is he willing and does he have what he needs to declare a national emergency or the insurrection act? This is the Trump card if you will. If someone sees another way other than that I'd like to hear it.

Sounds like Ratcliffe is the lone fighter standing with Trump. He needs to produce the goods. Something far more than just disagreeing with the rest of the entire intelligence community. Lets hope he can deliver.

The real shame is, it's taken President Trump four years to find people who will really stand up with him. People like Ratcliffe, Grenell, Pompeo; and in Congress Jim Jordan, Tom Cotton, hell, Ted Cruz.
Having survived everything the Dems could throw at him, he was ready to kick ass and take names.
Now, even his attorneys and other surrogates seem to have failed him in defending him effectively against the stolen election.
It will be a tragedy if it plays out that way.

The simplest answer.

How do you get senators, representatives to vote for endings of their careers? I would speculate that a limit would have to pass both house and senate.

It’s a good solution but how can it be implemented?

Senator Cruz supports the idea.

I think the only way it could ever happen is via a Constitutional Convention.

via a Constitutional Convention.

given the opportunity to introduce chaos and turmoil, how would the actual results be properly ascertained?

And given the depths of cowardice & misrepresentation on all manner of other political issues, how could realistic debate be conducted?

And given what a wretched threat to all manner of basic rights just barely in the thinnest margin of balance between the urban interests in mismanaging their part of the Republic, what would dissuade them from further ruining rural version of self rule?

Didn't say it was a good idea, only said it would be the only way I could see getting it done.

^^^wrt the agencies slow walking the into for the required report on foreign interference with our elections....POTUS should go stand over someone’s desk with his Secret Service agents playing with their handcuffs...

Fox hasn't shut Lou Dobbs down, at least. All I can say about that segment is: Oh shit.

Fox News Channel = Faux News Channel

Ditched Hulu for Sling as it has Newsmax

Let's look at what Sen. Paul said again:

"The election in many ways was stolen and the only way it will be fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws."

I think the most important and telling part of this sentence is the phrase, "in the future". So Paul is not proposing that anything should be done now, or, heaven forbid, that he should do any of it. Rather, let's just ignore everything that happened in the last couple of months, the suspicious counting, the mysterious, appearing-in-the-middle-of-the-night ballots, the unsecure mail-in voting, let's just put all of that behind us now, and, going forward, it's all going to be good. Trust us.

Real conservatives have been complaining for years that fake conservativism, (Conservatism, Inc.) doesn't ever really conserve anything.

What hill should we be willing to die on? The next one. Or the one after that one. But the one we're standing on right now? Nope, sorry, not this one. Too risky.

^^^ Yep, that "in the future" stood out like a sore thumb.

It could be interpreted either way. If election laws were enforced before the election, we wouldn't have had fraud or "inconsistencies".

If, hypothetically, Trump declares martial law and the military re-runs elections in swing states, it's a future election.

I don't think he's saying to give up on the most recent one.
