On the previous Election Integrity Update Garland Favorito discussed a recent Georgia Supreme Court ruling whereby Georgia citizens, including voters, have standing to sue government officials who violate Georgia law.  He then explained how this precedent is favorable to VoterGA’s Ballot Access lawsuit.

Next, Angie Durham and Sam Carnline reviewed their legal efforts to preserve the 2020 general election ballots in their respective counties and described how their efforts inspired an additional two dozen Georgians to do the same.  Email Angie if you’re interested in helping in your county.

On the October 15th Election Integrity Update several regulars and guests enlightened us and motivated us to action!  Garland Favorito reported on his Fulton County School Board election challenge and answered the question, “Are we headed for a win?”  (Join us this Saturday for good news!)  Bill Quinn addressed DeKalb County’s decision to use Konnech systems, and subsequent outcomes that concern DeKalb County citizens.

Tamara Favorito reviewed important areas to which poll watchers should be attentive while on duty.  Tania Sosa reported on the Constitution Party of Georgia’s advance voting poll watchers, and encouraged folks interested in Election Day poll watching or submitting photos of precinct elections results (“poll tapes”) to call (912) 509-0945 or email her today.  Angie Allison and Tim Meisburger from The America Project presented their Citizen Election Observer and Georgia Election Integrity Manual resources. 

On the October 1st Election Integrity Update Garland Favorito reviewed the details of the 2022 Fulton County School District 7 contest and the importance of candidate Phil Chen’s election challenge in advancing election integrity in Fulton County.  Garland reminded us that outright lies by election officials about election integrity efforts must be persuasively rebutted. To that point, he dealt with misrepresentations of State Election Board member Matthew Mashburn at the Board’s September meeting regarding our court case with Rep. Singleton to ban the Dominion Voting System, and shared the complaint he filed with the Board Chairman fact-checking Matthew’s statements.  Garland also addressed concerns regarding how to best cast our votes in the General Election in case efforts to invalidate the use of Dominion’s ballot marking devices are not immediately successful.

On the last Election Integrity Update Garland Favorito answered the question, “What do you mean there was no 2020 election fraud?” by presenting a summary of investigations and evidence in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Michigan.  The twenty-minute presentation provided astounding information that will be published in an upcoming news report.  We’ll provide the link on VoterGA.org when available.  Garland also provided an update on the recent lawsuit in Fulton County, Pennsylvania and he debunked the claims of alleged malfeasance by Coffee County elections officials. 

We heard from other local activists.  Victoria Cruz shared the template she used to notify her county Board of Elections that she does not consent to using the current Dominion Voting Systems and demands the use of hand-marked paper ballots counted and totaled by hand.  She encouraged everyone to use this "I Do Not Consent" template to express their concerns to their local Board of Elections.  Bill Quinn is challenging County Commissioners on their sworn duty to uphold Georgia law regarding the administration of their elections and the consequences of their failure to act.  Some Elections Officials are claiming that they cannot act unless there is an emergency (OCGA §21-2-366).  Bill noted that earlier this month President Biden renewed the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.  Bill also encouraged us to stay engaged in the political process and pointed to Arizona as an example of the success that will follow. 

On this Saturday’s Election Integrity Update Heather Honey, Verity Vote founder, discussed  how the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a taxpayer-funded entity, is a primary obstacle to cleaning America’s voter rolls.  Founded and initially funded by the Left ostensibly to help with voter roll accuracy, ERIC facilitates the creation of new Democrat voters from a database of Americans who have declined to register to vote.  Heather explained why Georgia’s participation in ERIC is a threat to election integrity and how our state tax dollars, flowing through ERIC, are being used for partisan political projects to build Democratic turnout in elections.  

David Cross reviewed the complaint that he and Kevin Moncla filed with the State Board of Elections on September 12th regarding the circumstances surrounding the official certification of Georgia’s electronic voting system by the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC).  Their investigation uncovered evidence that questioned the validity of Georgia’s voting system certification, the accreditation of the Voting System Testing Laboratory, and the credibility of the EAC itself.

The Election Integrity Updates have been packed with information and action items, and last Saturday’s meeting did not disappoint.  Garland Favorito discussed the September 1st VoterGA Press Conference on the Gwinnett County voter roll challenge to prevent illegal ballots from being cast for phantom voters. His remarks described VoterGA’s efforts to preserve the 2020 cast vote records from every county in Georgia.

Other guests continued educating our audience.  Suzanne Tanner from the Georgia Election Integrity Coalition’s Legislative Team provided an update on their preparations for the 2023 Session.  Bill Quinn gave a fantastic presentation of the Forsyth County 2020 Cast Vote Records analysis that provided additional insight into the absentee voting problems there.  Bill also provided a quick update on the work of True The Vote, including the disturbing find of Konntech’s national database of U.S. poll workers, poll locations, etc. at an address connected to Communist China’s Internet backbone.

From Daily Report/Law.com:

A new filing claims the Georgia secretary of state's office destroyed servers that housed confidential voter registration and election system management data "under the supervision of, if not by, government lawyers."

A group of Georgia voters [including Constitution Party of Georgia chairman Ricardo Davis] and a nonprofit election integrity organization seeking to force the state to use paper rather than electronic ballots in future elections have accused the secretary of state and governor of destroying evidence in the case.

As controversy continues about Georgia’s unverifiable voting equipment and its results, the safer option for Georgia voters continues to be voting from the convenience of home to reduce the risk of vote manipulation. The Constitution Party of Georgia urges voters to avoid the lines and create evidence of your vote via mail-in ballot.

Here is a list of voting options for Georgia voters by risk:
