Georgia’s Secretary Of State May Be Prosecuting Voter Crimes He Helped Create

 He pledged to prosecute the offenders.

The issues he described in that press conference first came to light in Long County, Georgia, a small South Georgia county with a little more than 12,500 voters, where Probate Judge Bobby Smith lost his 2020 primary race by only nine votes.

When an absentee ballot is removed and separated from the envelope it came in, there is no longer any way to know whose ballot was whose.

With more than 220,000 canceled absentee mail-in ballots in the 2020 general election, and the early opening of absentee ballots up to three weeks before the election, how can we be sure the counts are accurate?

Because of the irregularities Smith saw in the race, he retained Atlanta election lawyer Jake Evans to assist him in challenging that election.

Were any of them referred to the State Election Board for adjudication?” I have not received a response, and frankly, I do not expect one.

Yet this is an issue, and a scandal, he arguably caused.

After the call, I found Evans on the “numbered list of voters,” a list of the voters in the order they entered each precinct.

That was the first time in nearly 40 years of working with voter data that I had ever seen hard evidence of double voting.

He and 13 other voters appeared again in the early and absentee voter data, bringing the total number to 14 matches.
