Fulton County workers continue to count ballots at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Nov. 6, 2020.
Recently, Georgia state senators released a report on the Nov. 3 election that includes evidence of coordinated illegal activity by workers at the State Farm Arena where the votes were counted.
The State Senate Election Law Study Subcommittee report reads, “The incidents at the State Farm Arena are particularly The incidents at State Farm Arena are particularly troubling because they demonstrate a deliberate disregard for the law by election officials who intentionally prevented the public from viewing the vote count. The number of ballots that could have been counted over that length of time was sufficient to change the outcome of the presidential election and the Senate race.”
“In addition, there appears to have been coordinated illegal activity by election workers who intentionally placed fraudulent ballots into the final election totals.”
State Farm Ballpark is an absentee ballot counting site in Fulton County (Jo.). According to Election Day surveillance video and eyewitness testimony, staff stopped counting around 10:30 p.m. that night, but resumed counting when observers and media left.
A spokesman for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger did not respond to requests for comment. His office official, Gabriel Sterling, acknowledged that no monitors were present for 82 minutes of the night’s count, but blamed the media and observers for leaving after the count was stopped.
The Joe State “Election Law Study Subcommittee” is part of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The report has not been formally approved by the subcommittee or the committee, according to subcommittee chairman William Ligon, a Republican.
In their report, the lawmakers noted that dozens of witnesses and experts testified at public hearings earlier this month on allegations of irregularities and fraud.
They concluded that the election was “so chaotic that the results of any report must be considered unreliable.
The lawmakers heard evidence of violations of proper chain-of-custody protocols, fraudulent ballots that may have been counted in the pool, original ballots of questionable origin, and unsecured ballots.
“Evidence supported by extensive testimony suggests that there was a coordinated effort to prevent transparency in the ballot counting observation process during the opening of absentee ballots and on election night. Witnesses testified that Republican poll workers were treated with hostility during the recount – there were no signs, doors were locked, and Republican poll watchers were sent home early or assigned to odd jobs.” The report said.
“Statewide, supervisors were often stopped at unreasonably long distances – it’s understandable to maintain some social distance, but supervisors were blocked from even seeing what was written on the ballots or checking the count in any meaningful way, or confirming that votes were counted for the correct candidate.”
Two election observers who came forward to testify were later dismissed from Fulton County. Secretary of State Ruffinsperger called for their rehiring, and Fulton County did not respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times.
Among the report’s recommendations: remove ineligible voters from the rolls; prosecute violations of state law; conduct forensic audits of ballots and voting machines; and the state Legislature should consider moving to select the voter rolls.
Subcommittee Chairman Ligon led a push to convene a special session of the Legislature to consider taking back the power to appoint electors, but the effort did not receive the necessary support. Gov. Brian Kemp, a Joe State Republican, was also able to call a special session, but he has so far refused to do so.
