Fulton County mail-ballot hearing in Joe state Court next Monday

On November 4, 2020, Republican election observers in Georgia examined voting machine transporters stored at the Fulton County Election Preparation Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Superior Court of Fulton County, Ga., will hear a petition next week from Joe voters demanding a forensic inspection of their mail-ballot papers for November’s presidential election.

‘We have just been informed that we will be having a hearing to visually inspect and forensically examine all Fulton County postal votes on Monday, January 4, at 11 a.m. One of the petitioners, Garland Favorito, told the EPOCH Times.

“That includes ballots processed at State Farm and ballots that auditors have detected may have been fraudulent.”

Organized by VoterGA, a citizen group that advocates open and safe voting procedures and calls for the restoration of election integrity, the voters petitioning the court are asking for visual inspection of all Fulton County postal ballots, judicial re-scanning of ballots, and electronic copies of Dominion ballot images and standard election reports.

They cited a resolution unanimously passed Wednesday by the Georgia Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee that called on the county to “provide ballots for inspection,” in much the same way as the petition did.

Questions about the integrity of Fulton County mail-in ballots were raised by surveillance video of election night workers processing ballots. The video, which has gone viral online, shows several workers apparently repeatedly scanning a batch of ballots, purportedly containing tens of thousands of ballots, from under a table after monitors and the media were told the ballots had been counted that day.

Although it is indeed legal to repeat the scan in the event of a machine error, in such a case the staff member should discard the scanned data and scan the ballot again. But because of the quality of the video, it is hard to tell whether this is true every time.

Jovan Pulitzer, the inventor of Digital ID Systems, testified before the subcommittee that he and his team could detect this and could do it in hours.

“We can tell if they’re folded, if they’re forged, if they’re hand-filled, if they’re machine-printed, if they’re printed in batches over and over again, and we can verify each point.” Pulitzer said.

He explained that the ballot itself, when scanned, became a piece of code. Every time a ballot is actually processed, such as folded or written, the code changes, and this change can be detected.

Georgia is among the states where President Donald Trump‘s campaign and others are challenging the election results. Former Vice President Joe Biden leads by about 12,000 votes.
