An underreported story from the past week was Fulton County’s damning admission that a staggering 315,000 votes (at least) that were cast in the 2020 election were submitted unsigned – ergo, unauthorized, and hence in violation of the law.
In an election that was decided by a measly 11,000 or so votes in the Peach State, that figure represents twenty-eight times over what would have been needed to swing Georgia’s sixteen electoral votes from Biden’s column to Trump.
Again, one could make the case that 2020 was the most razor-thin election in history because Biden’s alleged margin of victory in the three states that mattered most to winning that race – Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin – was 0.23% (11,779 votes), 0.30% (10,457 votes), and 0.63% (20,682 votes), respectively.
Between those three states, 42,918 votes, or a meager 13.6% of the total unauthorized votes from Fulton County, prevented Donald Trump from reclaiming the White House, unleashing the parade of horrors that marked the last four years of the Biden regime.
According to the Federalist, which reported on this stunning admission, “David Cross, local election integrity activist … filed a challenge with the [State Election Board] in March 2022. Cross alleged that Fulton County violated Georgia election rules in the handling of advanced voting ahead of the November 2020 election, counting hundreds of thousands of votes even though polling workers failed to sign off on the vote tabulation “tapes” critical to the certification process. And Fulton County admitted to it.”
The same article goes on to say, “Georgia election rules require that election officials have each ballot scanner print three closing tapes at the end of each voting day. Poll workers must sign these tapes or include a documented reason for refusal.”
Because the tapes were not legally certified, David Cross attested, “Fulton County had no lawful authority to certify its advanced voting results to the secretary of state. Yet it did.”
What this represents is something millions of Americans, above all the President himself, have known for the last five years – a dramatic breach of public trust and dereliction of duty by Georgia state officials that has put the integrity of America’s electoral system in doubt.
The question of 2020, however, goes much deeper than simply a problem of election integrity, though it is that in spades.
Similar to the autocratic reaction of Democratic lawmakers to COVID, the bipartisan response to 2020 by leading members of the Uniparty, on both sides of the aisle, drove a dagger through the heart of American justice and raised pivotal questions about whether we can still call ourselves a free society.
If 2020 had simply remained a mere “political dilemma,” one that resulted in the terrible outcome it did, but without the attached lawfare, it would have been bad enough.
The country still would have gone through the hellfire of the last four years, but at least if Democrats permitted Donald Trump and Republicans to hash out these problems in the public square, with honest inquiries and working collaboratively to shore up the security of these systems, the end result would not have been as bad.
Of course, that was not what happened – far from it.
Instead, not only did Democrats (and their fellow travelers in the Republican establishment) prevent public discussion of the results of the 2020 race – completely pillorying a fundamental right under the First Amendment – but they went a hundred steps further and began prosecuting – persecuting, with not only steep civil but criminal penalties – anyone who would so dare raise the question in public conversation.
Therefore, the story of the last four years was not just one of electoral incompetence of the highest magnitude, but a complete stampeding of the First Amendment and Due Process of Law.
The President and his legal team got on the phone with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger et al. to inquire about exactly what had been uncovered and admitted to, five years later, by Fulton County.
The President, at the time, wanted to ensure that electoral procedures were adequately followed.
That is a perfectly reasonable inquiry in any election, but especially one in which the results were so close, and many unprecedented changes were made – rules were openly flouted, being one of the more shocking ones – under the pretext of “covid” and (in more radical corners) “racial justice” (the devastating results of critical race theory put into practice).
It was because of all those procedural changes (of dubious constitutional legitimacy) that Joe Biden, who was an invalid while in office, somehow garnered more popular votes – despite being the least popular president since the advent of the Gallup Poll – in American history.
Indeed, one could make a very strong case that it would have been a dereliction of Donald Trump’s own duties, as president of the United States, had he not made the inquiry – a margin call, let’s call it! – into the electoral procedures of the most tightly contested states in 2020.
The President has a constitutional prerogative, expressly stated in the text of Article II, to take care that the nation’s laws be faithfully executed.
This means, at minimum, that during an election, particularly one that takes place during a once-in-a-century global pandemic, that he should take precautionary measures to ensure that changed electoral procedures were done 1) lawfully, and 2) in compliance with longstanding, historically supported legal protocol.
But because Georgia, at the time, was feeling massive public pressure to kowtow to Democratic-supported interest groups, including Big Tech companies and Deep State actors, who wanted to expeditiously hand the proverbial baton over to Biden, at which point the thousand year Woke Reich might commence for good, expurgating MAGA from history for all time (that indeed, without exaggeration, was the plan), Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger, and crew, in an ersatz and slipshod manner, wound up sweeping the systematic fraud under the rug, democratic accountability be damned.
Even today, Fulton County’s Board of Elections’ legal representative, Ann Brumbaugh, despite admitting to the fraud, was uncanny in her nonchalant dismissiveness to it.
As the Federalist again reported, Brumbaugh described the illegal certification as “a violation of the rule.”
But further says, “since 2020, again, we have new leadership and a new building and a new board and a new standard operating procedure. And since then, the training has been enhanced. … But … we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”
Perhaps that unbelievable admission – which, again, was not for a mere dozen or so votes, but representative of nearly 6.5% of all the votes cast in Georgia in 2020 – might be excusable, maybe, if the election reached some kind of peaceful resolution and nobody was arrested for simply asking questions about its outcome.
But that of course is not what happened, and we all remember it. What happened was that anyone who would so dare raise gentle inquiries about what happened – honest election workers like Tina Peters, demonstrators like those who objected peacefully at the Capitol on January 6th, even the President of the United States – were slapped with the full fury of the law.
And that fury came not only in the form of just civil penalties, which itself would have been an historically anomalous, radically disproportionate response to the so-called “crime” – but criminal prosecutions!
In the state of Georgia alone, Trump and his 18 “co-conspirators” were charged, incredulously, under a Racketeering statute – RICO, the same instrument used to combat organized crime – to have their reputations smeared as dangerous criminals, simply for doing the bold and courageous thing of standing by the president by probing whether 2020 was or was not conducted fairly – as history would prove it certainly was not.
Your correspondent is afraid many conservatives, even today, too cavalierly ignore the ramifications of what it means to have the First Amendment’s protections, foremost of all being the rights to speak one’s mind freely and assemble peacefully to contest government decisions, made into mincemeat by the government.
They do not grapple with the earth-shattering ramifications of that occurring.
Adding further mockery to the whole sham, the closest thing to a puppet president, reminiscent of the old Soviet leaders so regularly observed in the twilight hours of that communist regime, installed over administrative operations.
Joe Biden, the face of the manufactured apparatus that illicitly ousted Trump from power, for they could not stand what he represented, is the most egregious affront to justice this country has ever seen.
He also stands as an affront to democracy, in its original and true meaning.
As history has vindicated, of which this Fulton County revelation is but the latest (and far from final) iteration, Biden was the face of an illegitimate political regime that forced itself back into power, by any means necessary – up to and including (especially) cheating, because it could not stand Donald Trump, it could not stand a genuine democratic counterresponse, nor could it stand the Constitution – and the God-given natural rights enshrined therein.
So, it had to trample over all three; kickstarting a terrible precedent that, if allowed to percolate without a decisive correction to the historical record (with Biden officially designated as illegitimate, much as the Vatican used to do with a cadre of anti-Popes), may well threaten to sink our Republic for good.
Nothing short of a complete and total invalidation of Biden’s fake presidency – and a restoration of the first term and election that Donald Trump was denied, will suffice.
For that is a Big Lie which can prove fatal to these United States notwithstanding a powerful prophylactic that corrects the historical record once and for all.
