In a nationally televised interview in January, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger rattled off an impressive list of measures his state used to ensure the November election count was accurate. "We had safe, secure, honest elections," he declared to "60 Minutes."
That rosy assessment, however, masked an ugly truth inside his agency's own files: A contractor handpicked to monitor election counting in Fulton County wrote a 29-page memo back in November outlining the "massive" election integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the Atlanta-area's election centers.
The bombshell report, constructed like a minute-by-minute diary, cited a litany of high-risk problems such as the double-counting of votes, insecure storage of ballots, possible violations of voter privacy, the mysterious removal of election materials at a vote collection warehouse, and the suspicious movement of "too many" ballots on Election Day.
"This seems like a massive chain of custody problem," the contractor Carter Jones warned in the memo delivered by his firm Seven Hill Strategies to Raffensperger's office shortly after the election.
That glaring notation was written around 4:00 p.m. on Election Day, when Jones observed absentee ballots arriving at the county's central absentee scanning center at Atlanta's State Farm Arena "in rolling bins 2k at a time."
"It is my understanding is that the ballots are supposed to be moved in numbered, sealed boxes to protect them," he wrote, noting these ballots weren't.
He also feared the flow of absentee ballots seemed too voluminous. "Too many ballots coming in for secure black ballot boxes," he observed.

Hey GA, it is time for a recall of Raffensperger and Abrams to be arrested and tried. Unfortunately I can's see any de"mock"rat ever being arrested or tried. They will get off scott free without accepting responsibility for their actions.
Nobody is going to jail because none of them was a Republican time to let all political party the law apply to all and the Supreme Court must inforce the law of the land
Don't hold your breath waiting to see any senior Elected State Officials being charged with a crime or going to jail... the system is a House of Cards so corrupt that the entire House will collapse with the arrest of a key member of the government... those who live in glass houses can't throw stones without bringing down their house. Prosecuting a senior public official is likely to result in that official disclosing a whole litany of criminal conduct making it unlikely anyone with the authority to prosecute would take that step for fear of having their own criminal conduct exposed.
Sombodies need to go to jail for a long long time!
