In the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, nearly 200 absentee ballots were counted twice.

A review of the digital images of absentee ballots released under Georgia’s new electoral law revealed duplicates that showed up before a recount. One such ballot included a registration for hip-hop star Kanye West and actor Dwayne Johnson as president and vice president, respectively.

As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, there is no evidence that the doubly counted ballots affected the final total of votes for former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, although the duplicates would have given Biden 27 more votes if tabulated would be.

VoterGa, a group that organized a lawsuit to request high-resolution rescans of ballot papers and a personal review of the unsealed 147,000 postal ballots, said duplicates were just one form of evidence in the 2020 election process suggesting competitive fraud.

GEORGIA OBSERVER SAYS FULTON COUNTY ELECTIONS WERE BAD BUT NO FRAUD DETECTED

“If we find this in Fulton County, we will probably find it across the state. The question is, why did it happen? “Said David Cross, a member of the group contesting the election results.” The simple fact that it happened and we found it here means it probably happened elsewhere. “

Carter Jones, an independent observer of Fulton’s election, suggested that an election worker may have lost track of which ballots were being scanned. He said the chances of organized fraud are slim.

“It’s Fulton who, once again, is not following the correct election protocol,” he said. “Fulton’s so bad at managing the actual process that if they actually tried to rig the election, they would have botched it and we would have found out.”

Biden received nearly 73% of the vote in Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold, while Trump was preferred by 26% of residents. Biden received 243,904 additional votes in the district.

Trump lost the state of Georgia by around 12,000 votes, and the former president’s Republican allies have tried to challenge the vote count across the state, particularly in Fulton County, after post-election officials were slower to report votes. Fulton’s two separate recounts confirmed the validity of the balance sheets.

The story goes on

Trump made headlines after November when he called on Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find the votes necessary to cement his election victory in the once reddish-brown state, which led to a criminal investigation in February.

A report by an independent election observer who oversaw the November elections in Fulton, which includes much of Atlanta, found that the district’s election was neglected but no fraud detected. Raffensperger opened an investigation last month into the handling of paperwork in Fulton County related to the use of mailboxes for the 2020 election.
