Georgia Audit Bizarre Happenings — Henry County (Ga) Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ruled May 21 that 145,000 November absentee ballots in Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, may be audited using private funds.
It’s not that much different than what a consortium of media outlets did after the 2000 election in Florida.
Bizarrely, the powers-that-be in the state are trying to stop it with no holds barred.
Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections hired Donald Samuel and Amanda Palme of Atlantas’ prominent law firm of Garland, Samuel and Loeb to try to stop it. The firm still brags, along with a lot of things, about how they got Ray Lewis off the hook for murder back in 2000.
Anyway, on May 29, the door of the facility holding the ballots was found open by private security guards. The sheriffs assigned by the judge to guard it had disappeared.
The county had banned the security team from parking in its lot and so the team was using the street when they heard the alarm.
The ballots, which were further secured inside, appear to be uncompromised.
These incidents are troubling and bewildering for those confident of an honest election.
The 2001 media audit in Florida found that Bush probably did beat Gore, and helped ease doubts of cheating.
Concerning the behavior of the powers-that-be, which includes Republicans, in Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire and Georgia, the doubts are only increasing.
This battle is not about “Republicans vs Democrats” or “liberals vs conservatives.” It’s about those who want to be kings and the rest of us.
