A conservative group has told a Georgia judge that it doesn't have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later.
Texas-based True the Vote filed complaints with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021, including one in which it said it had obtained “a detailed account of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes across metro Atlanta” during the November 2020 election and a January 2021 runoff.
A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group's refusal to share evidence with investigators. In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.
“Once again, True the Vote has proven itself untrustworthy and unable to provide a shred of evidence for a single one of their fairy-tale allegations," Raffensperger spokesman Mike Hassinger said Wednesday. "Like all the lies about Georgia’s 2020 election, their fabricated claims of ballot harvesting have been repeatedly debunked.”
True the Vote’s assertions were relied upon heavily for “2000 Mules,” a widely debunked film by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. A State Election Board investigation found that surveillance camera footage that the film claimed showed ballot stuffing actually showed people submitting ballots for themselves and family members who lived with them, which is allowed under Georgia law.
The election board subpoenaed True the Vote to provide evidence that would assist it in investigating the group's ballot trafficking allegations.
True the Vote's complaint said its investigators "spoke with several individuals regarding personal knowledge, methods,

When’s your next FR vacay coming up, anyway?
A court’s role is simply to review, and validate, or invalidate, evidence, which is then used to make judgement. As Trump has failed to produce any evidence in support of his claims, the failure on display is not that of the courts.
Our obtuse clown won’t read post #104, because he’s not interested in actual proof - only Talking Points from Marc Elias and Perkins Coie...
Making provable false claims in court filings is also a crime this organization has already committed based on this article
So they’re claiming drop boxes were illegal? Ok, sure, maybe they were. But that in and of itself doesn’t mean that all the votes, or actually that any of the votes, put in the drop boxes were fraudulent. This wasn’t un-precedented, and previous courts have always sided on accepting votes that were cast unless it can be proven they were fraudulently cast, which has never happened.
Apparently Trump signed into law all the federal money going to the states to implement things like this in light of the covid lockdowns, so maybe he bears some responsibility as well?
You can look at my own FR homepage and see I’ve been skeptical of the 2020 election results since it happened. But since then all I’ve seen is a bunch of whining and crying instead of anything being proven, or done about it. Sorry, but that’s not enough to convince me. Usually whiners and criers are wrong, in my experience, and why I don’t listen to them for long. Hopefully that will change, but I see no evidence of it, and evidence is what counts.
One has to petition the court, and present their evidence. On January 7th, 2021 Donald Trump threw in the towel on his ongoing legal cases, refused to open any new ones, and went off to build his website instead. It shocked and disappointed me, and did not instill confidence in his public claims. Not much has changed since then.
It would seem so if this is accurate.
Don’t like being misled by someone pretending to be on our team either.
Remember during the Tea Party IRS scandal how Lois Lerner's staff gave the Tea Party 501(c)(3) and (4) applications, including major donor names, to their liberal groups for targeting?
True the Vote was born in 2010 out of the suppression of conservative Tea Party affiliated tax exempt groups that were going to build get-out-the-vote programs for Republican candidates and be watchdogs for elections in swing states.

This isn't Catherine Engelbrecht's first rodeo with lying government clowns.
As I posted in #115 - this isn’t Catherine Engelbrecht’s first rodeo with lying government clowns.
I’ve gotten to the point where I think people like Mike Lindell are all grifters until they show real evidence in a court of law of the massive level of voter fraud they claim.
Both have ask for and received millions in donations to expose the fraud and made claims they have all the evidence and when it comes time to prove it in a court of law, they show nothing and lose and in Lindell’s case he’s nearly gone bankrupt selling a fantasy at this point
When you’ve lost every single case in every state since 2020 then it might be time to change your strategy or the classic definition of insanity applies
You missed the January 2021 hearing where some black-robed stooge in Georgia let Fani The Fat Incompetent do a song and dance for an hour "dazzling" him with reasons for taxpayers not being able to look at public records paid for by taxpayers.
Turns out she's an incompetent corrupt POS - and he colluded in letting her get away with her BS in a fraud upon the court.
Engelbrecht had good reason to suspect the motives of people who were prematurely asking for confidential or privileged information.

Exactly.
Notice all the people on this thread glossing over that very true fact.
They pretend that corrupt pieces of Democrat feces like Lerner and Fani Willis don't exist.
