Six months after the November 3, 2020 election, Fulton County has failed to produce complete chain of custody documents for 18,901 vote-by-mail absentee ballots deposited by voters into drop boxes.
Using the spreadsheet provided by Fulton County, the thumb drive provided to The Star News on May 3 by Fulton County should contain absentee ballot transfer forms documenting the chain of custody for a total of 43 separate collections from 37 drop boxes - for a total of 1,591 separate drop box collections in Fulton County between September 24, 2020 and November 3, 2020, documenting the chain of custody for all absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes in Fulton County.
The Star News has reviewed each and every ballot transfer form provided by Fulton County on May 3, and can confirm that chain of custody documents - absentee ballot transfer forms - have been produced by Fulton County for a little more than 1,100 drop box collections a total of 59,042 absentee ballots.
A thorough review of the PDF files provided to The Star News by Fulton County officials on May 3, shows that there are no absentee ballot transfer forms for 385 out of the 1,591 drop box collections that took place in Fulton County between September 24, 2020 and November 3, 2020, which accounted for 18,901 absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes, according to the Fulton County spreadsheet.
The sum of the 59,042 absentee ballots accounted for in absentee ballot transfer forms that document the approximately 1,100 drop box collections for which Fulton County provided documentation and the 18,901 absentee ballots the Fulton County spreadsheet said were documented in ballot transfer forms documenting 385 collections which have not been produced is 77,943.
You can see a copy of that Fulton County spreadsheet, in which The Star News has highlighted in yellow the 385 absentee ballot collections and the associated 18,901 absentee ballots for which no chain of custody documents have been produced by Fulton County more than six months after the November 3, 2020 election.
This incomplete and inconsistent record of chain of custody documents related to absentee ballots persists more than six months after the November 3, 2020 election, and almost five months after The Star News made its initial open records request for the documents to Fulton County election officials and despite Georgia's Open Records Act O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
