Fulton County, GA, Election Official Can't Say How Many Absentee Ballots Were Printed: Audit Attorney
The Western Journal ^ | May 26, 2021 | Randy DeSoto

An attorney representing Georgia citizens who secured the right to review over 145,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in November told the judge overseeing the case that a top county election official could not say how many absentee ballots were printed.

Plaintiff’s attorney Bob Cheeley told Judge Brian Amero on Friday that Fulton County Registration Chief Ralph Jones, during a pretrial deposition, estimated the county printed 20,000 absentee ballots through a vendor in the 10 days leading up to the election.

Jones could not give the attorney a precise number.

“So I asked for the invoice, during the deposition, for those ballots. … As of now, I don’t have the invoice yet, so we still don’t know if it’s 20,000 or some other number,” Cheeley told Amero.

“I asked Mr. Jones questions about chain of custody of those papers [ballots] and who was limited access to those papers because that’s very, very important that you keep that under close scrutiny.. asked him also how many of those papers were actually printed and sent out to voters, and he didn’t know.”

Cheeley further recounted that he queried Jones about whether any of the ballots were left over, but the official could not say.

...

staff seemed to not understand that absentee ballots needed to be verified before they were counted.

...

“There were persistent chain of custody issues throughout the entire absentee ballot processing system,” the report said.

It added that “the fact that ballots were delivered to State Farm Arena in unsecured mail carts is very concerning.”

“Protocol for securing ballots exists not only in securing the ballots themselves but also ensuring no ballot stuffing occurred,”

..

In the official results, resident Joe Biden carried Georgia over former President Donald Trump by 11,779 votes, or 0.24 percent.

There has not been an election. Only the appearance of one. Nothing to overturn, but something to secure and verify ASAP.

“......as someone who has been involved in countless depositions over several decades I can tell you that when a case goes to the mat (full jury trial, no settlement) those “I don’t knows” you uttered in a deposition months or years earlier could sink your ship. Meaning, YOU LOSE the verdict!

I’ve seen memory-impaired witnesses suddenly experience remarkable mental clarity as the cross examining attorney begins marching toward the stand with their deposition transcript in hand. I’ve also seen one simply invent a new lie on the spot, but by that point we already knew were going to win anyway.

If I’m called as a juror in any trial for citizens who mete out a permanent punishment for a politician under these circumstances, I’m a “not guilty” walking in.

Yes, it’s a very thin line between “I don’t remember” and “lying” and jury’s ARE INDEED, on average, pretty smart about it. I’ve had six civil jury trials to the mat (a verdict) and won all six of them. 3 of them on the same issue in Austin’s “Environmental Court” (financial consequences of losing are VERY devastating). Try to imagine 3 Liberal Austin juries picked from a random jury pool ruling for that ole straight white guy developer 3 different times over 2 years. Even Liberals can pick out the liar when their 3 feet from the witness stand looking him/them in the eye. With an honest judge and a good attorney the system will work for you. And, the attorney is only as good as you help him to be.
