For years, Donald Trump has, er, trumpeted his claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
If Georgia is any indication, he’s got a point. And – of course – almost all of our mainstream media are ignoring/suppressing/depriving you of knowing about it.
From Brianna Lyman’s article for thefederalist.com:
Fulton County: ‘We Don’t Dispute’ 315,000 Votes Lacking Poll Workers’ Signatures Were Counted In 2020
Earlier this month, Fulton County admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless still included in the final results of that election.
The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist. Cross filed a challenge with the SEB 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.
Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, told the SEB in the hearing that while she has “not seen the tapes” herself, the county does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.” Brumbaugh continued, “It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership and a new building and a new board and a new standard operating procedures. And since then the training has been enhanced. … But … we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”
Translation: over 300,000 votes which should not have legally been counted…were counted anyway. In a county, by the way, that voted for Biden by 73% – 26%.
Assuming the same percentages for the illegally counted votes, that would have given about 152,000 extra votes to Joe Biden…who “won” Georgia by less than 12,000 votes. So I doubt you’ll have trouble figuring out who this dereliction of legality benefited.
Given the above, let me repeat that, at least for Georgia, Donald Trump had a point about the election being stolen from him.
And given that the hearing this information came from took place two weeks ago, wouldn’t it have been nice if our major networks, and maybe a few major newspapers, made significant mention of this. Or any mention at all? I think that’s called basic journalism.
But did you see it on the nightly news? The morning shows? In the New York Times, or Washington Post, or Los Angeles Times? Me neither.
And are you surprised? I hope not.
