Georgia voter signature audit will validate ballots — or find fraud
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | Dec 27, 2020 | By Mark Niesse

Assembled in teams at folding tables, GBI agents and state election investigators this past week scrutinized voter signatures on absentee ballot envelopes, a major test of their legitimacy.

A small number of mismatched signatures would discredit suspicions from President Donald Trump and election skeptics who claim the system for verifying voter identity allows rampant fraud. Significant mismatches would expose flaws in the ballot verification process.

The unprecedented review of absentee ballots, scheduled to be finished this week, is comparing signatures on ballot envelopes with their signatures on file. Fifty investigators are working to examine a 15,000-ballot sample of the nearly 150,000 absentee ballots returned in Cobb County.

The GBI often reviews signatures in cases involving forgery or other financial crimes, but nothing as broad as the current audit of ballot envelope signatures, said Bahan Rich, GBI special agent in charge of the Atlanta regional office.

“This is on a much grander scale than anything we have ever done before or been involved in, dealing with this amount of records,” Rich said.

Fine.

Does that mean it’s a valid test case, or not? If it’s so neat and tidy there weren’t problems there, this is just kabuki theater; a meaningless exercise to falsely validate the phony narrative.

It’s ABSENTEE ballots. These are a different class of ballots then the “mail in” ballots (where the fraud occurred)

Georgia Sec of State hopes no one notices the misdirection

I can’t imagine 50 investigators find nothing. The discrepancies that appear in 2020 vs 2016 are on top of traditional fraud.

This audit will generate a validity rate (or, conversely, an invalidity rate). That rate can be applied to ALL ballots across the state in the same class as these. If indicated, the work in this county can be replicated in other counties, maybe two or three other counties.

The result of this audit in Georgia is also informative regarding signatures in other states, and whether they should conduct an audit.

Remember, an audit is based on a sample and conducted by outsiders.

Remember, too, that the normal invalidity rate will question the results in AZ, GA, PA and WI, where there are Republican state legislatures and we would have a chance of the state legislature intervening.

THAT’S the fraud that they hope will cover up the fraud.

Sumbitch oughta be dragged from his office, tarred, feathered, and rode to the County line on a rough-split fence rail.

Probably deserves a lynching, too, as befits such treachery.

Who is doing the signature comparison?

If it is done by machine, there are settings that allow very different signatures to count as a match.

The Establishment can and will continue to cheat.

When are they going to do a forensic audit of the dominion machines. How about checking the unfolded ballots that supposedly came in those envelopes,were not freaking idiots,

Wrong county, not a complete audit and how about the mail ins that were NOT really mailed in but came in ice chests.

What is happening is what happens always. Smoke and mirrors to appease the masses until the clock runs out. Just lip stick on a pig.

You gotta remember, that most of these doing the counting are Doodats and only read in print, not cursive. Could take months

What does it matter? We already know of many frauds in this election and that knowledge has changed nothing.

Scream and shout all we want, but making noise has changed nothing. Only force physical will change anything.
