Previously Unreleased Document Raises More Questions About Fulton County’s 2020 Election
Last Updated on December 23, 2022


On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia overturned a ruling made by a lower court in the cases Caroline Jeffords et al. v. Fulton County et al. (S22C1299) and Garland Favorito et al. v. Alex Wan et al (S22C1285). The latest ruling in the legal action, also referred to as the “Fulton County Counterfeit Ballot” case, gives the plaintiffs legal standing to sue government agencies which violate Georgia law.

“The petition for certiorari is granted, the judgement is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Sons of Confederate Veterans v. Henry County Board of Commissioners,” The Supreme Court stated on Tuesday.

Attorney and founder of VoterGA, Garland Favorito, spoke with The National File on Thursday.

“This was the case where we had four sworn affidavits from senior poll managers who claimed that they handled counterfeit ballots in the Fulton County audit,” Favorito said on Thursday.

“We got an order to inspect the ballots and suddenly Fulton County went out and hired criminal defense attorneys to keep us from seeing the ballots,” Favorito said. “That tells you a lot, doesn’t it?”.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Criminal Investigation In Georgia County Heats Up Over Voting Equipment Breach

The State Election Board in Georgia has asked for the help of the FBI in a criminal investigation into a breach of its systems in Coffee County. The board highlighted similar breaches in other states and asked to collaborate with the FBI as it also examines communications between officials in Spalding County, Georgia, and SullivanStrickler, the Independent reported.

The board has received documents that include an “unexecuted engagement agreement” for SullivanStrickler to forensically image voting systems in Spalding County, Georgia, Duffey said. The move represents an escalation by state investigators in Georgia, raising new questions about whether the same group of individuals involved in the Coffee County breach sought access to voting systems in other parts of the state as well.

Duffey said it remains unclear why Spalding County was interested in having SullivanStrickler conduct this kind of work but that the board is investigating whether there is any link to what happened in Coffee County. It is also unclear if voting systems in Spalding County were breached. Duffey noted that he has asked for an update from the FBI regarding the status of its participation in the state-level Georgia probe related to Coffee County but does not yet know what the bureau is doing, if anything, at this time.

“The conduct in Coffee County is similar to conduct in Antrim County, Michigan, and Clark County, Nevada,” elections board Chairman William Duffey Jr. said.

“We did not image any equipment in Spalding County,” a SullivanStrickler attorney said. “We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement on any investigation as we have done up until now.”

Officials plan to replace voting equipment in the county following “unauthorized access” to it just two months after the 2020 election, The Associated Press reported.

The outlet added:

A computer forensics team hired by allies of then-President Donald Trump traveled to Coffee County, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta, on Jan. 7, 2021. A company representative has said they made complete copies of the election management system server and other election system components. Later that month, two men who have been involved in efforts to discredit the 2020 election results also spent hours inside the elections office with access to the equipment.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) noted that an investigation into the unauthorized access by former elections officials with Coffee County is ongoing.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
